2000 Honda Accord review from North America
"The car is a good city and travel vehicle with few flaws"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There have been numerous electrical problems with this car. Maintenance, airbag, and e-brake dash lights come on intermittently and have no mechanical reason for doing so.
The gas pedal sticks occasionally when transitioning from parked. This is dangerous in a parking-lot scenario where the driver has to punch the gas to get going and could result in a low speed collision.
General comments?
My wife uses this car as a commuter vehicle, but it doesn't get the excellent gas mileage that you'd expect from a 4 cylinder Honda. Typically we get low 20's for mpg in the city and near 30 for extended travel.
The car is a comfortable one to drive and has performed well under the circumstances.
