Faults:

The rear oil seal failed in 11/01 at 45,000 miles.

The car would not go in reverse up an incline at 65,000 miles, and 2nd gear was shifting hard. Had to replace transmission in 9/02.

Repeat of 2nd problem at 78,400 miles in Sept 03.

General Comments:

The warranty on the transmissions for the 2000 and 2001 models have been extended, but not the 1999 and they are having the same problems.

Faults:

Brakes replaced under warranty.

General Comments:

At 80,000 miles I was looking for something to do simply because the car hasn't required any maintenance other than oil change. So I had timing belt replaced and transmission fluid replaced.

Replaced headlights with brighter bulbs soon after purchasing the car. Replaced brake rotors with slotted and drilled rotors, the stock ones seemed to keep warping.

Replaced stock stereo and speakers with nice customized system with 12 disk CD changer.

Slid on ice at work and hit curb hard enough to take the front right tire off it's rim. Took car to out of state Honda dealership and they replaced the brake rotor and c/v joint and a few other things all under warranty and even detailed the car, this was in Augusta Georgia.

Honda dealerships have always been generous to me.

Car is still quick and performs without fault.

Leased the car for 36 months with intentions of trading, but decided to purchase after the lease was up because of reliability.

Faults:

Absolutely Nothing

This Accord is super reliable.

General Comments:

The Accord is surprisingly quick for such a big and heavy car.

The Cruise control is fantastic for the motorways.

Excellent safety features, 4 airbags, EBD and ABS as STANDARD.

Ride and handling also excellent, also very quiet car with good looks.

We're inseparably..

Faults:

Ever since I bought my 99 Accord on November 1st, 2002, the only thing that I had to replace was the driver side leather seat. I am guessing that the previous owner did not take care of it. Other than that, my Accord looks and runs great!

General Comments:

I reccommend the Accord to anyone. The VTEC engine delivers more pickup than most standard four cylinders out there. I also have a few after market parts that I have installed such as 17 inch chrome rims, custom audio system, DVD and TV screen, and a new suspension. It handles well on sharp curves, and has pretty good acceleration (That is when the VTEC kicks in). As far as reliability, nothing mechanical has gone wrong. I change the oil on time and it has good gas mileage. I only wish that it were a 5spd manual!

Faults:

Clutch sqeuak, a known issue with all accord type R models, but easy to live with.

Knocking from the engine, caused by not using RON98, or preferred Shell Optimax.

General Comments:

The car is reliable, will probably last longer than you!

It is fast, fun and overall it is a practical car with all the plus points of a 4 door saloon and none of the bad points of a sports car.

Service costs are only slightly higher than that of a normal accord, plus the dealers are great, and always willing to go the extra mile (I have been to 4 separate garages across the UK)

Even had a stint with Honda Head Office, they were great. Excellent professionalism and great customer service.
