Faults:

The power windows are on the brink. I replaced the driver side motor to find out that the switches are the problem. I had to leave the new motor in because I had cut the cables off the old and apparently good motor. The car only gets about 240 miles per tank of fuel. the tranny shifts hard even though it has new tranny fluid. We had a 92 Accord and it was twice the car this one is.

General Comments:

This was a good car when I first bought it. It was relatively low maintenance and very sleek looking.

Once I hit 100,000, it was one problem after another, some of them re-occurring. I thought a Honda was supposed to go for 250,000 and 300,000 miles.

At the rate that I'm at, it may not be cost efficient to keep mine, nor may my car get to 200,000 miles. Maybe that's why they offer a 100,000 mile extended warranty because all of the problems occur after 100,000 miles. Lots of them. Will probably never buy another Honda. May lease one, but never gonna buy one again. Not worth it.

Check engine light was always an issue. Replaced engine and all fuel injectors. All oil pan gaskets and valves. Condenser fan motor, timing belt, power steering pump, front motor mounts, oil pan gasket leaked, and rear main oil leaks to name a few. Transmission went bad after new engine was replaced.

General Comments:

This car is very unreliable and expensive to maintain.

Faults:

Had to get it aligned - Once.

Always seems to have a vibration and after about 4 tries to fix it just decided to live with it. It's better on some tires than others.

General Comments:

This car has been by far the most reliable vehicle I've owned (88 camaro, 94 jeep Cherokee). That's not to say it's been perfect, but I would estimate that the total non-scheduled maintenance for the car in 8 years is less than $500. The driving is predictable and the maintenance costs are low - what more could you ask for in a commuter car. The camaro and jeep were more fun to drive, but not much fun to own (insurance, gas, maintenance, etc.) I live in the South and at least once a year it ices up. The problem with winter weather in the South is that we don't have the equipment to keep the roads cleared. You can get around on icy roads in a rearwheel drive camaro or jeep, but it's so much easier in a frontwheel drive Accord.

Anyways, just wanted to throw my $0.02 in and to the guy with so many Accord problems - Why would you stick with any car that gave you trouble for 100,000 miles? I know there are people that didn't have trouble with their Camaro's, but when I needed to start regularly going to the garage with it -- I sold it (50,000 miles).
