Very reliable and comfortable.

My Honda Accord is going to be one of my favorite cars. It is very reliable and spacious. Ever since I purchased it it never gave me problems.

Excellent and Reliable Car

Still own the 2012 Honda Accord LX-P. Bought new in 2012 and currently has 187k miles (mostly highway) and still runs smooth. Great for commuting. Great mileage. You are welcome to contact me via text at 203-645-9642 for any further details.

Used cars

Mostly junk yards, accident, rebuilt cars with very costly prices in market. Damages, dents seen openly without any proper painting done to look cosmetic. Neither body damage fixed properly. Dealers, mechanics join together selling such cars. Not even a single honest mechanics who resort to cheat customers stating lots of work need to be done.

Great Coupe

The car meets my needs. The 5 speed manual is the only way to drive. Exterior color is a cool metallic gray with a black interior. Huge truck and a lot of space on the inside for a tall person.

The best financial decision you will ever make

I bought my 2012 Accord SE in May of 2019 with 69k miles on it and I've owned it for about a year and a half now. It now has 78k miles, and in the first 12 months, I spent $80 total on maintenance. As an ASE certified technician, I did all labor myself. But even so, that figure is nothing compared to my previous car, a 2005 Audi A4. When I switched from an Audi to a Honda, I wasn't sure I'd be satisfied with the features that were available. As it turns out, all I need for the everyday are leather and heated seats. The only features I really miss about the Audi are premium sound and sport mode. It does suffer from prominent road noise, but so does every Accord ever built. You get over it. If you live in a snowy area and are skeptical about buying front wheel drive, don't be. I live in Wisconsin where we can count on 30+ inches of snow every year. As I said, my previous car was an Audi with Quattro AWD. Aside from Subaru, Audi has arguably the most sophisticated and legendary AWD system out there. I stuck with all seasons for the Audi and I fishtailed all the time, even at low speeds. I invested in a quality set of Blizzak snow tires when I bought the Accord and, I'm not kidding, it handles better than the Audi did. I can make a turn through four inches of un-plowed snow without sliding. My point being, what really matters most of the time is the quality of your tires more so than your drive train. I also should note that I purchased the 2.4L four-banger instead of the V6. It has plenty enough power to get you around town with 177 horses at your service. My four-cylinder is very easy to maintain and has a timing chain which means I won't have to worry about a flimsy belt snapping off and ruining my engine when I'm cruising down the interstate. It also doesn't burn a single drop of oil even after eight years. The bottom line is, the Accord sedan is a great family hauler or commuter car. It's cheap to own (not necessarily to buy!), it's extremely comfortable, and I highly recommend this car to anyone who likes to keep their vehicles for any extended length of time. If you take care of your Accord, it will certainly take care of you.
