1996 Honda Accord Ex 4 cylinder from North America
Summary:
Its been a good reliable car even with a lot of miles on it
Faults:
The Check Engine light came on at about 150k due to the ERG value.
Ever since I've had this car, the driver's side window is slow going up and sometimes gets stuck in cold weather.
The fan will need replaced soon, it stops running occasionally and then comes back on again.
The Hot/Cold knob on the dash-board is a little tight and uneven when I turn it. Its been like that since I bought it.
General Comments:
The car had a lot of miles on it when I bought it. At the time I didn't drive that much; now I drive 100+ miles a day. So far, the car has been great! I have had very minimal repair work along with the daily maintenance. Of course, it is getting older and has a lot of miles on it so it's expected that I have some extra repair and maintenance that needs to be done. Its been very reliable (knock on wood) and it has good performance. I still have the factory sound system in it (am/fm cassette with 6 disc CD changer) and I have to admit I'm impressed with how much Bass it can put out. I'm surprised at how many compliments I get from people about my car and they are always amazed at how many miles I have on it. My little Honda is a real trooper! I just hope it keeps running this good.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

This car has more than 126K miles now. I am still driving it to work every day. No major problem. Replaced radiator, front brake pads, exhaust pipe and muffler. It still get near 30 miles per gallon on high way.
