1995 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"This car has been a great investment and I would buy another Honda in a heart-beat!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In 10 years, almost nothing other than regular maintenance. The driver-side power window motor is about to die, but I'm surprised it took this long!!
General comments?
This car rides very well, is very reliable, and looks great! I bought it in a hurry when my previous Honda Civic was totaled in an accident (thanks to a red-light running Ford Explorer). Purchased from someone in sales, the Accord had a lot of miles when it was just 2 years old, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Visibility is great in this car, which helps a lot in congested, city driving. Lots of seating control allows me (and any other guest driver) to establish a great driving position. Still looks great - people are always surprised to find out its age. Have had a few parking lot scrapes and one fender-bender; the repairs don't show much with the light gold color. Leather interior helps... a little Armour All and it keeps a crisp look even at the ripe old age of 12.
I sometimes miss having a little bit sportier-looking car (like the Civic Coupe that got destroyed), but I must not miss it too much because I'm rolling year 10 with the Accord this month. I'm at 201,000 miles now and planning to make it to 300,000.
