1996 Honda Accord EX review from North America

Needed a new starter at around 160,000 miles, replaced myself for about $150.00.

Check engine light has been on since around 140,00 miles due to a faulty EGR sensor, not affecting me so it's not been replaced.

Something is slipping on the drivers side door lock. Everytime you lock the door it makes a loud buzzer type sound. It's been doing it for 60,000 plus miles so I'll change it when it goes, it's just annoying and works fine.

The oil sump plug came out at around 120,000 miles and completely drained the oil out. This WAS a recall which I was unaware of at the time, and since I noticed it quickly no damage was done to the engine.

Factory CD player stopped working at about 135,000 miles (It started rejecting CD's when I started using burn disc, so I think that's the root of the problem).

Rust holes in front in the exhaust pipe started showing "loudly" about 10,000 miles ago.

Sometimes when it's cold and you start off there is a weird, kinda hard shake from the front end like your running over pot holes at speed. It has been going on for almost 40,000 miles and it's just an annoyance to me. It's like the transmission is slipping. It only does this after the car has sat for at least 10+ hours and only maybe a time or two a month.

This car is a exactly what I expected from a Honda, it has been unbelievably reliable and I'm sure it has plenty of years left as a great car. I do change the oil regularly and that's it. I do a lot of off road driving and it has very few rattles. I would be confident and worry free for another 100k.
