All i have ever owned and will own is honda.

First car was a 79 civic...beater car....but IT WOULD NOT DIE. Had to do obvious repairs since it was sitting for awhile and is nearing 30 years old. Not to mention it went through snow like a 4x4- no joke

Current car- 94 accord ex 4 door. 4 banger, with header and catback, gets 30mph. I love it. If i had to get another car it would be a newer accord, with a V6.

Congrats on purchase...it shouldnt let you down.

hello SON OF GM.. I recently bought a new Honda Accord after years of Toyota ownership..and a couple of american cars before... handed down from my dad. The best arguement for buying a Honda is this...The Honda is an APPLIANCE of a car. It will run forever... just take care of your car and your car will take care of you.

Son of GM,
I have a 94 Honda accord that I bought used with 13000 miles.
I now have 180000 miles on the car and the only thing that has gone wrong was the oxygen senser needed
to be replaced.
Honda's are reliable, Easy to drive, and all around great cars.
It is my opinion that Honda's are the best car for the money.
My Honda is still in great shape, and I plan on getting another 100000 out of it.
You will not be sorry if you buy a Honda.

1998-2002 accords have the following MAJOR trouble spots in I4 trim

Transmission
OPDS

in V6 trim

Transmission
AC/Delco alternator
OPDS

Various other problems related to suspension, squeaks, rattles, rear disk brakes weark VERY FAST....


7th Gen Cars are not out long enough to know their long term reliability. However since they share the same basic trans design as the Acura CL/TL and require the SAME 2nd gear fix, I would guess to say that those cars will NOT have the reliability of pre '98 accords but will not be as bad as the 98-02 ones

common complaints

radio backlights quit working (generally covered under Goodwill)
V6 brakes tend to warp easily especially if you're hard on them.
headliner rattles
