Faults:

I'm gonna list some major problems only:

- The interior was poorly built, especially the seat - the leather is so easy to crack.

- Have suffered from some problem with the rear suspension, which makes me really upset sometimes.

- The steering is too light, I can even drive with 2 fingers =) And that makes the car really unstable at high speeds.

- The power of the engine has been going down dramatically since it reached 150 000 kms.

- The head gasket blew at 168 000 kms - expensive to fix.

- Clutch has some problems at 167 000 kms.

General Comments:

However, it's still a good choice for a first car, and trust me, this one is a true fuel-efficient car. Mine only drinks 10-12l/100km. It's a pretty good number for the 2.2 engine.

And, this car (the trim level EXi-S) is good looking as hell. I think it's the most handsome Japanese sedan in the year 1995.

In summary, if you re after an economical sedan with heaps of space, you should consider this one.

My Honda Accord EX, is a very amazing car. I know plenty of other people with Hondas, and they say that they are very reliable.

My parents have always been more of a Toyota type, but we found my Honda, and I fell in love with it the first day I drove it, it handled great, the speed was great, sun roof, nice leather interior, speakers, and anything you can think of.

The pedal isn't sensitive, which I love. I have ABS and power steering, which makes the car more of a luxury.

It's a 4 speed automatic, I get around 20+ miles to the gallon, and in this economy I spend about $20 at about $1.80 a gallon to fill up.

I feel this car will get me through everything needed. But like has been said in a few other reviews, the Honda Accord is not a car that's for speed, with 145hp (horsepower) it gets the job done, but if you want to go fast, I don't suggest it unless you're looking to put money into it, like I am looking to do when I make more money.

The car rides smooth, and has a loose suspension.

I don't understand the fascination with Hondas?

My wife is high on them too, after this being our third one with all 3 being nothing but problem after problem after problem, I have finally convinced her we will not buy another!

It all started out with brake linings, no problem, I consider that a maintenance item, not really a repair, but after 4K on new linings it needed them again GRRRR! This time the mechanic replaced the calipers and rotors, thinking that will make them last; well it worked, but I could almost buy a used car for the price of having all that replaced, since even the parts seem to priced at a premium over other cars.

Next we have 2) 02 sensors go bad; bam another $300.

Fuel pump; Just under $500.

P/s Pump and rack OUCH $1200.

Idle control valve solenoid $300.

Computer module $1600.

I have more in parts than I paid for the car to begin with, AND I'm not even counting the normal stuff like plugs, wires, belts, hoses, struts, shocks, tires, filters.

I hate these cars now!
