Honda makes long lasting cars, especially the Accords. My 4th generation accord currently has 311000 miles on its original motor and tranny. I tell yah it's still running great. No big problems except for the usual timing belt and tune ups. I'm still pushing for another 50000 miles, but I'm looking at replacing the engine as soon as it weakens up. Thanks to Honda.

Faults:

You can be driving and pushing on the gas and you can hear the car reeving and the RPM's are going up as you push the gas petal, but the car will start slowing down. You can stop the car put it in park and turn off and turn back on and will run fine for about 1/4 mile, then do it again.

General Comments:

The car ran great, I love it and handles great.

Faults:

Front Left C/V joint had to be replaced.

Radiator sprung a leak around 125,000 miles.

Battery died.

For some reason seat belt warning light has started beeping and will not seem to clear. About a week after my mechanic said a $300 sensor needed to be replaced, it quit happening. (Oh well, that's $300 I won't have to spend.)

General Comments:

I love this car. If it would ever die, I will go straight back for another Accord.

3 of the 4 of the aforementioned problems are all things that you will have to do eventually anyway.

Other than that, I have only performed routine maintenance; oil changes, belts, etc.

It is a very quick car great on gas. It beats the EPA estimates by about 4 MPG average.

I have put over 50,000 miles on it in less than 18 months and the Accord has not let me down once. It can be worked hard or babied. No matter what, it is one of the most reliable vehicles you will ever drive.

Faults:

The belts are squeaking when started.

Does not blow hot air-maybe thermostat.

Rust over wheel wells.

Driver window is messed up-cannot go up correctly without getting out of car and fixing it.

Water leaks into trunk (factory defect)

General Comments:

Overall this car is awesome. I bought the car last july and is great.

It is very comfortable and roomy, and I installed a cold air intake and it has a NICE sound.

This car has very FAST acceleration.

The tranny is great-no problems.

I also installed a CD player and new speakers, and it sounds GREAT.

I am very satisfied with the car.

Faults:

MY exhaust fell apart at 153000.

Both CV joints blew out and ball joints needed to be replaced as an effect.

General Comments:

It's a fast car. after my intake and exhaust enhancements I raced a suped Mazda MX-3 and blew it away!

Always starts when I ask it too!

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong in this car yet other than normal wear and tear. Although, the paint job is starting to come off.

General Comments:

The car has very good handling, and has a comfortable ride. I'm really surprised because most people say you should change your timing belt every 12,000 miles, but until just a few months ago I hadn't replaced it unless my mechanic hadn't said that if it broke it might destroy the whole engine so I decided to change it. That's what I call good craftsmanship, they really do make the engine I believe to last longer than the actual car.
