Best car EVER!

This is my second Honda. I bought it new in 1999 and I am still driving it. I love it! It is still stylish and has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. It is a great car and I will drive it until I can't drive it any more.

Love my Honda!

I bought my 1999 Honda Accord EX new and still own it. It has been the BEST car I have ever owned. I am still driving it and am close to 200K miles. It is comfortable around town or on a long road trip. There is plenty of room. It is quiet and has an excellent sound system. I have never had a major repair on it. I have thought of getting something else but I am still in love with it. I will wait until I have to buy another car to give this one up.

Second Honda Accord

As usual, Honda vehicle is really reliable if you keep up on the oil change and minor maintenance. It can easily drive well past 150K mileage

Great car to own.

We got this car with 50,000 miles on it and now it's 158,000 and going strong. We had to replace the transmission (twice) early on, and that's a weakness for this model. Otherwise it's perfect.

I dont want or need anything more then my Accord

I've owned my 1999 Honda Accord Ex coupe for more then a year and in that time iv put over 22k miles on it. i drive everywhere and love every second. The interior, where the driver spends 100% of the cars life sitting is very important for me when buying a car. I find the interior very good looking. It has a very inviting and youthful feel when sitting in the drivers seat. My car has over over 250k miles, the only problems ive found with the interior is the driver and pass. seats start to loosen up over time and move about a little bit. Back seating isn't especially good in the coupe model. Im 6 foot high and while sitting in the back my head almost touches the headliner and my back of the seat feels a bit to vertical for me, i wish i could recline in the back more. Body is beat after years of being driven in a big city. From what ive been told it was run up a pole at some point, hit by a snow plow, side swiped, hit hard in rear quarter panel and run into a snow ditch where the front bumper was torn off. I just picked it up and zip tied that sucker back on. Engine wise i have the f23a1 2.3 liter 4 cylinders with the 4 speed auto. No major problem in the 22k miles ive had the car for. I did EGR valve, gas cap, A/C compressor, distributor seal, o2 sensor and belts. With 254k miles on the engine, all the parts ive put on were a great investment. This car is best suited for a busy young to middle aged person who likes/has to drive a lot, for a person who doesn't drive like a grandam yet dosnt drive wild and fast like all Subaru driver with there vapes. But for the kind of person who knows how to treat a car properly, has enough money to simple retinue maintenance to keep the car in tip top shape For the person who knows that they could smoke that newer Mercedes Bezs... but dosnt. Great all around car would recommend to anybody.

The BEST first car anyone could ever have!

This car was my first car and I love the thing!! Let me tell you something, my 99' Accord LX sat for 3 years before I actually got behind the wheel and started practicing on it. When I got her @ 179k we had to replace a good handful of parts, obviously, but when she got fixed, she runs like new! Now mine is the 2.3L 4 Cyl. model with a 5 speed manual transmission. For a 16 year old car, it still throws me back in my seat with the remaining power it has (everything is still stock) but the darn thing still flies on back roads and the highway. The transmission is smooth as butter and visually the car just looks good, especially when you have tinted headlight housings ;) (Emerald Green body color) The interior is simple and comfy and VERY spacious. I drive about 30 miles to work everyday and I can just sit back and relax knowing that I am comfortable and this car will make it to its destination with no issues. The ONLY complaint I have about it...is the body roll, its horrendous, I almost fell out of my seat one time haha but you could fix that with better springs or coilovers. In the end I defiantly recommend this car to ANYONE, especially teens because it's a really nice first car to have in your life :) Even today I am still driving mine @190k miles! and she still purrs like a kitten ;)

Great Car for the Money

This car was very clean and rides almost as well as a new Accord. Takes bumps in the road like a far more expensive car. Good fuel economy for a V6 while providing a bit more pep than the 4 cylinder model. Very happy with this car!

dollar stretcher

I bought my 99 accord used with 120,000 miles on it .these were Cleveland Ohio miles. Bad streets and lots of stop and go driving. After a little bit of TLC and some minor repairs I had a great car. It's an LX with a 5 speed . I get 34 MPG and drive it every day. I live in the country so there isn't much stop and go. My insurance is cheap and the upkeep is the usual , oil changes brake shoes etc..I drove it for a year before putting any money into it . I plan on having it for another 10 yrs. This is my 3rd Accord in 20 yrs. I am a fan! My Sunday cruiser is an Acura RSX 5-speed also a great car, very sharp.....

It keeps going and going...

Bought this car used at approx. 39K in North County San Diego of 2002. Since owning it my driving was typically just for work on a routine basis with every week with the occasional visits to Simi Valley in Ventura County and Maricopa County in Arizona. Also driven to Solvang, CA. Fast forward to 2010 as I had left Carlsbad, CA to make a move to Destin, FL. Prior the drive however, my starter went out, which I replaced. The idle control valve needed replacing, which I changed--thanks to the Honda/Acura Salvage yard in Chula Vista that had many used ones. The terrible thing about it was, NO One including the local Carlsbad Honda had a idle control valve nor the internet. Thank heavens for the salvage yard in south San Diego. The drive to Florida was without any mishap or problems. Since being here; I have travelled to Pensacola many times (an hour west); Tallahasse (3 hours east) a couple of times; and Jacksonville (5 hours east) once for a Jazz Concert on a weekend. And the only major thing I had to have a professional do was the inevitable timing belt and water pump replacement. This was the second time having it done. As of this review, I have exactly 244,410 miles and have changed the oil on a regular basis, along with service on the transmission as needed. The stock air filter was replaced some time ago with a K&N Air Filtercharger for performance. Recently, charged the A/C with R134a. The car still runs like a champ. Definitely the best Honda I ever had thus far, coming from a '89 Honda CB-1 motorcycle, '87 Acura Integra coupe, then a '92 Civic CX hatchback. Will see how far I go with this Accord EX-L that is a great performer along with having exceptional gas mileage. Domo Arigato Onigai-shimas HONDA Motor Company.
