'07 Accord...3 years later
OK, so I posted a review of my '07 Accord back in May 2009. I had just bought the car with 3?,000 miles. The odometer now shows over 90,000. I still drive roughly 54 miles roundtrip every day to work. We (wife and I) primarily use the Accord for weekend errands too. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd say my overall satisfaction with this car has been 8.5. Here are some notes from 3 years of ownership: 1. Reliability has been fantastic. No maintenance issues. I've had all the recommended service done at Honda. 2. Gas mileage is still a major bonus....considering gas in KC is about $3.50 right now. I still avg. about a fill-up a week...that's 380-400 miles per tank in the Spring and Summer and 350-360 in the Winter. 3. Styling...still looks good, but the design is starting to look dated. Oh well, this body came out in the mid 2000s, so who's complaining? 4. Performance...the engine still has plenty of "get-up-and-go". The tranny shifts well. 5. Interior is still holding up. The leather, while not buttery smooth, still looks very nice. And that's after hauling dogs around on occasion. The radio and CD changer work flawlessly. No problems. 6. Comfort is OK to good. I don't love the driver's seat, but then again, I have back problems, so maybe it's just me. The back seat has plenty of room for 2 adults. Three adults is pretty tight. Overall assessment: I've loved this car. Honda might not be at the forefront of design and performance now, but they know how to build solid, reliable cars. And like I said before, it's all about RESALE, RESALE, RESALE. Why get burned when you go to trade in or sell??? If you keep up with service (like you should), there's no reason this car won't give you 5 to 10 years of solid service. Highly recommended.

I love this car more every day!
2007 Accord V-6 Coupe 6sp Manual. Used 70500 Mi @ purchase. I have owned a honda of some kind for the last 12 years. My first was an 89 Accord LXi, a 2000 Civic EX, and now the 07 Accord EX-L. I found the prior cars to be relatively fun to drive, capable and of quality but not overtly exciting. This car excites me in ways that even my wifes 09 Accord LX-S has not! LOOKS- I have always been a fan of this body style. The sleek uncomplicated design is sophisticated and sporty. The way the lines flow from front to back is not unlike a predacious jungle cat! The LED tail and brake lights give an even more premium feel and the look has held up over time. On the inside, you're treated to a high quality leather, nearly on par with more expensive luxury vehicles. I would even venture to state that this trim shares some interior appointments with its Acura cousins. My only qualm is that the seats are a little stiff. Maybe I'm just used to my old Civic seats being well worn in! EXPERIENCE - Every Honda I have driven has been a solid and consistent performer. This car is no different. The steering is tight and responsive, if not a little stiff at times. While at speed the ride is confident and smooth. There is not any noticable torque steer but I haven't really pushed this car to the limit yet. The accelereation is one of the most impressive aspects to this car. Admittedly, coming from a four cyl. and going to a six there is going to be a difference. However, even compared to other 6 cyl cars I've driven, I can confidently say this car is easily on par with some sports cars! This 6 sp manual transmission is leagues ahead of the mustang, taking more after some BMW's I've driven. My only detractor in this area is that this car definitley gets V-6 gas milage. I guess my days of 2 weeks between fillups are over. 350 -400 miles between fillups still isnt bad, and my foot has some lead in it. SUMMARY- If I could give this car 4.5 stars I would because it's just shy of perfection. However, rounding up rather than down would be more accurate. This car is a gem and to find it with 3 pedals and a stick shift is a rare gem! If you find one, snatch it up! You won't find this level of quality in most cars of this segment, even in subsequent accord models. If you ever wanted the fabled Prelude, this is as close as it gets!

Affordable and Reliable
I have a 2007 Accord SE 4cyl. I bought the accord brand new back in December of 2006. My car currently has 75,000 miles and has made several cross country road trips without any problems. I replaced my tires last November and this past spring I replaced my break pads and rotors. I haven't had to replace my battery as of yet and had the dealership check the charge which is still over 80% battery life. I plan on keeping this car until it dies.

Falls apart, DO NOT BUY
Like the post from Honda2007 brakes wore out quickly, also the timing chain has broken. Honda's website clearly states that replacing the timing chain is not required, American Honda is going to give me $300 to fix, but it's over a $2,000 job and the car has been in the shop almost a month to fix with no loner. They told me they could give me double to triple that amount if it was a different problem, but can only give $300 because they don't track the occurrence of them breaking. Will never buy another car from Honda and would warn anyone against dealing with this company.

The car starts off great and falls apart faster
I have a 2007 Honda Accord, the orginial owner. I don't even have 32,000 miles and have had an abundance of problems that America Honda does not care to resolve. My back brakes have already been replaced and I just had to replace my entire A/C unit. All out of warrenty, and nothing Honda cares to see as a problem. I really do love the car, but the increase cost of maintaining this car has gotten absurb for my low mileage. I can only imagine it getting worse as the mileage increases, and the flaws of Honda's cheapness make it to the general public. Honda does not make a quality product and I suggest buying a different car. This is not only my car that is experiencing this problems, other Honda Accords are having the same exact problems!!!

Best car we have ever owned!
We bought this car new at the end of 2007 and it is a top of the line EX-L with Navigation and 4 cylinder with 44k miles. It has NEVER been in the shop except for routine maintenance. I do not understand why they make or anyone would desire the 6 banger because this car is very fast and zippy but still quiet and smooth. It is advertised to get 25/34 mpg but we have achieved up to 36 mpg. Our only complaint is that Honda made the front seats a little too firm for long trips, but besides that the car may be one of the best ever made. The voice navigation system is top notch and everything else has worked wonderfully on this great looking vehicle. I recommend this car and I bet it will out last me!

I really like my Accord
I looked around and researched cars for a couple of months before finding my 2007 Accord. I had to look hard to find a 2007 Accord that did not have high mileage, but finally found one that had 50K miles and was blue like I wanted. I bought my car 4 months ago, and so far I have been very pleased. I got my car, a basic model with cloth seats, auto, 4-door, etc., for 15,000. I have the 4-cylinder model, and I have been very satisfied with the power and the gas mileage. I would estimate that I average between 20-25 MPG. One of the reasons I bought this car was because it had so much power for a 4-cylinder car. The main complaints that I have about the car is the blind spot. You have to be really careful when changing lanes. Also, it does not take sharp turns very well. Overall, I would definately recommend Accord. It is a nice size car for someone like me who is 6'2", and it gets good gas mileage, looks good, and drives good.
