2000 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"A great car that also saved our lives"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I only had to replace the original battery.
General comments?
This car looked and drove like brand new in every way, even though it was 3 years old and had 70K miles on it when I got it. I wouldn't trust many other used car models with this many miles, but I didn't hesitate with an Accord.
The 4 cylinder had plenty of power, but it also yielded great gas mileage. I loved the sound it made, and the way it rode on the highway.
I loved the interior layout, and all the storage areas. You could fit about 20 CDs in the center console.
I've driven only Hondas for the past 10 years, and I enjoyed this one even more than the 3 I had before. It seemed just as reliable as the earlier ones, but it was larger and more powerful. I looked forward to getting behind the wheel every day.
4 days ago, I had to stop quickly in the left lane of I-4 in Florida, and a Ford pickup rear-ended us, and smashed us into the other pickup truck in front, moving it 25 feet. There was nothing left of my trunk area, and the engine area was smashed too, but everyone at the scene marveled at how well the passenger area kept its integrity. You could still open and close the doors properly. My 2 friends and I walked away from the crash with sore necks and 1 bump on the head, but that was all.
I'm looking for a similar Accord to replace it. I can't see owning anything else, and when I move up in the world, I'll just upgrade to Acura. Thank you, Honda.
