""Works even without gas" was a joke I heard when I was looking for a car and I brought my prospective Honda 96 to a mechanic to check if it was in good condition. Nowadays I feel like this was not quite a joke, since this car performs so well that sometimes even very little gas keeps it on until I find a gas station. My friends who also have Hondas usually say the same: "Next one will also be a Honda". I was never let down by my Honda Accord 96 and I am satisfied for having that as my first car ever!"

"This was Honda's first try at mini vans and it was built to last. This van was built in Japan. I've had two newer versions, both made in Georgia and the quality is subpar on both for a Honda. Gas mileage is 28 highway. Great ride. Excellent power for a 4 cylinder. Interior cloth looks new and has held up very well even after 15 years, 3 kids and daily commuting and errands. Really wish I could buy another of these new, I'd do it without hesitation!"

"I am a senior, and I have owned about 4 dozen cars in my life. My '96 4dr EX has been just great. It is the perfect all-around car with an excellent balance of sport/luxury/economy, etc. It has never let me down in 15 years and 185K miles. I have yet to have a rattle in this car. I am tempted to buy a newer car, but I think I would miss this one too much. I think Honda is making the newer ones too big, and they have less personality. I'm keeping this one for a long time."

"I have throughly enjoyed my 1996 Honda accord. It is a very sturdy, quiet, major problem free car. It is a great size for passengers, skiis, canoe, and golf clubs. The electrical system worked all those years and still does. It is an overall great car to own."

"I bought this car used 3 years ago, the car is 14 years old and runs as good as any new car. Easy to DIY maintenance if you are good with tools and know basic car mechanics. I will keep this car until it dies, if it dies. EX-VTEC engine, the best!"

"This isn't the most stylish or sporty car, but is the MOST reliable car I've ever owned. Acceleration is a bit sluggish compared to the lighter smaller Civic, but the car rides smooth at 25 & 90 mph. Side mirrors fold in for folks that park in narrow areas - rather than breaking off when hit... Seats 4 adults comfortably. The back seat folds down for longer articles that may not fit in the trunk. Trunk will hold approx 4 suitcases. There are only a couple key features I'd like to have that are missing... - the steering wheel doesn't adjust it's tilt, just it's height - my arms aren't long enough to reach so it's not the most comfortable - the lumbar support is virtually non-existent"
