2000 Honda Accord EX-V6 review from North America

For the most part, this has been a great car. I have 60,000 miles and have gone through one full set of brakes, and one front “resurfacing”. Replaced the original Michelin tires at about 45K with Kuomo’s. (Great tire). Just had my alternator replaces at 60K. The EGR value issue was also fixed which was done via a local shop, and fully reimbursed via Honda. Aside from that, no major work. Just oil changes and tire rotations along with the normal required service. Was recently told that my transmission fluid looked dirty again, however, just had it replaced at about 50K miles.

I did have to replace the LED clock battery, which was simple. The bulb cost about $4 via Honda. My odometer light is now out, however, not sure I want to take apart the dash. I will consult with my local shop next time I bring it in.

Great overall car. No squeaks or rattles like my 1991 Ford Thunderbird, and 1978 Chevy Camaro from several years ago. I agree that the car is certainly not fast from the start, however, really excels on the highway. It has plenty of passing power at 60+ mph.

Since the transmission warranty was extended to 7/100,000 miles I will probably keep it for a while and upgrade the stereo/speakers.

May look at a 2006 VW Passat or Jetta next with the 2.0 Turbo engine.
