Replaced the timing belt at 135,000 and 215,000.
Had warped rotors due to the poor steel used. Replaced at around 90,000, no problem since.
Replaced both CV joints at 180,000. Dealer replaced one under warranty at 190,000 when it started to rattle again.
Major front suspension rework at 200,000. Included ball joints, tie rods, and spring.
This is a car that just won't stop running.
Never realized that a car would run for over 200,000 miles.
The body will fall off before this car stops running.
Always get heckled by friends for still driving this car. They've been through 3,4, and 5 cars while I've had this one.
Bears the brunt of winter while my 2000 Accord sits in the garage.
Very good review! I totally have to agree, being a Honda owner myself, but I do know how long these cars will perform and put out. My last car was a 1982 Honda Accord and at that time I had no idea it would last as long as it did. It's been given to a friend's Nefew as a starter car. I bought it at 209,000 miles and had it until 275,000 miles, at which it still just hummed along, mind you, being an old car, several things needed changed, but nothing ever major- and would you believe the timing belt only needed tightening, not replaced? Well, that's Honda. I have friends too who swear by American cars just to buy American I suppose, but they've been through so many cars I can't count them anymore and in the last ten years, I've just had three Honda's: 1980, 1982, and now my 1989 Accord. This car I have now it a beauty... like new even though most people would say anything over 150,000 miles is a lot; however, if you know Honda's like some of us experienced ones that do, 150 thousand miles is absolutely nothing on a Honda. I've heard of Honda's going for the 350 thousand mile mark! By the way, who is Honda? That guy over there in Japan really deserves the highest award for the finest auto design and technology!
