I have a '96 Accord with a V-tec engine. It has 108,000 miles, so it's pretty much brand new.
The owner supposedly took good care of it, but the engine jerks between gears.
The car also has a very hard time up hills; I switch in the "d3" gear which helps me get through them. But anyways, no problems yet.
My '96 Accord EX runs like a champ with 125kmi. The only non-maintenance items done were the motor mounts at 100kmi.
I bought 96 Accord and it has around 172k miles and still running strong. They will run forever.
Believe it or not my 1996 Accord EX has 399,300 miles on it!!! It is still the original engine and has been very good to me. Definitely a conversation starter LOL.
Wow at 400k miles!?
And I thought mine at 200 000 km (kilometers!) was high.
Anyways, after 13 years my Accord runs like it's new; it's the V4 model manual transmission. Everything works perfectly except cruise control (must be clutch or brake pedal switch).
Just take good care of your Honda and it will last forever (and make oil changes twice a year!).
For those who can't get the cruise to work, try switching it on and then pressing the SET/Decrease button while lifting the clutch UP with your foot, it should engage.
Mine has 200k and runs like new, except for a weird noise outside when pressing the clutch, heatshield? Apart from that, everything runs perfect, absolutely everything, not a scratch LOL.
Hondas run forever.
