Faults:

Shortly after purchase the car wouldn't start, had to replace the battery terminals.

A few months later the car wouldn't start again, replaced the starter switch.

Again a few months later the car wouldn't start, replaced the ignition coil.

After 9 months the car started overheating, replaced one of the radiator lines and the thermostat. Still overheats occasionally.

Paint is starting to chip off.

Radio antenna no longer moves up and down by itself.

Power side mirrors no longer work.

Tires could all stand to be replaced.

General Comments:

Generally dependable, after I got the ignition system fixed. This seems to be a common problem with older Accords.

Ugly ugly car, especially in baby blue with the paint coming off!

Cruises very nicely at highway speeds, but feels very weak going from a complete stop or up hills. Other sedans blow by me when the light turns green.

Excellent fuel economy.

Faults:

Leak in the windshield (?) onto the passenger floor.

Master cylinder out at 85,000 miles.

General Comments:

This car has been awesome. I have no complaints except for the idiots that broke in and stole my speakers.

Faults:

A power window motor broke.

The glove compartment won't open.

The paint wore off on the roof.

The air conditioning had to be replaced.

Both of my rear brake lights retain water and dump it into my trunk when I open it - and this is after a dealer "fixed" it.

The defroster doesn't work - also after a dealer "fixed" it.

The windows don't always roll up straight - which can allow water in, and these are only the problems that I don't typically associate with old age and normal wear and tear.

General Comments:

You have to be rich to keep up with all of this car's repairs!!!!

Faults:

To date only the air con has given any problems, ie. been recharged but has a leak somewhere, however the car has FSH from Honda and is rock steady to drive.

General Comments:

Ideal car for all generations, very worthy of the Honda badge and has typical Japanese reliability.

Faults:

I replaced the right front CV joints and that's it!

General Comments:

This car is the definition of reliability. I'm beginning to think that all other cars are junk.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong.

General Comments:

I have driven this car from new, and it has now done 76000 miles. Trouble free motoring. It does not need oil between services.

Faults:

This car has 300,000 km on it and it still has not had any major problems.

The only thing I had to do was replace the clutch. Other than that it still

runs extremly well.

General Comments:

Very reliable car, low maintance, good comfort and probably the best dashboard layout of any car out there.

Faults:

Radiator replaced twice within 18 months for the same fault (leak along top seam). Rear shockers replaced at 45,000 miles and one new battery.

General Comments:

Great for long trips, although back is cramped for adults. Performance is less than thrilling - as is the fuel 'economy' (25mpg around town but better on a long run 30-32mpg). So far we have not been let down on the road. Dealers excellent but expensive. I will probably buy another one - but who knows, I might prefer a change!
