I actually bought this car for my son.

I think this vehicle is excellent for a first starter car. Reliable for work and errands. Car is a good condition. No rust. Plenty of room. Also has a USB connection which is great to play his music. Plenty of small storage spots around the car. Trunk is also very roomy . Overall, very satisfied with this purchase.

The best, most reliable car I've ever owned.

Remote starter -YAY! This car has lots of room, easy in and out. 1 USB Port. 6 CD Changer. Huge trunk space. Great car for the price. Back seat has a pull down arm rest with cup holders. Windows newly tinted. Visor for the sun roof. Sun roof has never leaked.

Love this car!

I bought this car as a one-owner used vehicle with 200,000 miles. If it were any other make if vehicle I’d be concerned, but not with a Honda. This car is reliable and gets excellent gas mileage (33mpg highway) for being a mid to large sedan. It’s comfortable and beautiful. The interior has all the bells and whistles-the only complaint is that there are soooo many buttons-Honda could have found a way to simplify this I think with a touch-screen. Also, for the top of the line model, I don’t have Homelink, which I find strange. The occasional rattle of my garage door opener on the visor and excessive buttons take off one star. Relatively minor complaints on such a beautiful piece of machinery that’s sure to last for years to come. Heck, my last Accord I sold with over 500,000 miles, original engine and transmission and it’s still around town 20 years later! I’m a believer!

Impressive gas mileage!

I needed a car that would be able able to handle last minute trips to my rugby games anywhere in eastern US from GA to MO and would be able to carry at least five adults and their gears. My budget was fairly limited but the car could not let us stranded anywhere as we would often travel the day before and come back the day after the games to avoid taking too many days off. I restricted my options to a Camry or an Accord based on reviews but chose to go for an Accord manual as the car was a lot more responsive and the handling was sportier. Mine was a 2008 2.4L LX 5 speed manual with 80k miles. While the car was fairly basic and the cabin had nothing to be really excited about, everything worked and the manual transmission made it fun to drive. The car was light and even if the engine had no turbo, the car could move fast and was very stable and comfortable. Most importantly the gas mileage was impressive during trips. In two years and roughly 40k miles that I kept this car, I just changed the oil, refilled the tank, put people in it and drove everywhere. Another good point with this car is that parts are cheap, and you can easily find tutorials to do most of the repairs on your own. Defnitely a car that I recommend!

This particular one I've only owned a day

Very comfortable, smooth ride. Lots of room inside which I love because I often fill my car with kids or teens. Lots of trunk room.
