Most reliable car I’ve owned

Great car . It’s comfortable, great performance and it’s been mostly problem free. My car 114,000 miles on it. I don’t know if I’ll buy a new one because Honda has gone to Turbo engines which I don’t like. I have a V6 in mine.

Honda reliability

I loved this car until I didn’t. The seats we hard and uncomfortable. I bought it new and was the only driver. Just hard leather seats. Great performance and fuel mileage for a six cylinder. Low to the ground and low roofline, do be aware of hitting your head.

The Honda Accord sport se

The vehicle was fun to drive, was fairly insulated from noise, had enough pep and looked great. I also looked at the civic si as an alternate vehicle.

SCAM!

This ad was a scam. They sent me 3 emails all with completely different stories about how desperately they need to sell this car. They did not even have the car in the state where the license plate and ad was located.

Beware of the car after 90000 miles

Things started to wear out after 90000 miles and require more maintenance than it used to before said mileage, such as brakes, steering rack and power windows.

FRONT SEATS ARE HORRIBLE

I like a lot of things about this vehicle. The ride is smooth and the 3.5L V-6 is plenty powerful enough for passing on the freeway. The visibility is good with big windows and the roominess is great. Feels more like a large car than mid-size. On the negative, the gas mileage doesn't compute quite as good as the sales sticker indicated 22/32, and the front seats are the worst ever. Not so bad for me because I don't take long trips. If you are in the car several hours a day look for something more comfortable.

Ol’ Reliable Tadakatsu

I purchased a used 2012 Accord at 80K miles almost 3 years ago. I was pretty skeptical at first as my family owns predominantly American made cars...but wanting fuel efficiency and comfort I looked at 4 cars before I met Tadakatsu the Honda Accord. Great on long distances for gas especially when I had to move across the country for my job. True I’ve had some minor issues but what car doesn’t? But overall I’m so thankful and grateful for my accord as it’s defied every odd thrown at it. Fast forward to 124k miles and he still runs strong. I will now drive only the accord as it’s efficient, long lasting, and pretty comfortable. Would recommend anyone to the Accord.
