  How do ya spell reliability? H-O-N-D-A! - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Happy Honda Owner - February 4 - 6:54 pm

  I bought my 1990 Accord about two weeks ago and so far its been nothing short of what Honda stands for: reliability. Only thing that annoys me is it seems to suck up oil? Filled the gas tank and drove from Atlanta to outside Athens and back. 175 miles roundtrip. Fuel gauge was closer to full than it was to halfway when I got back to Atlanta. My next car will be a newer Honda Accord. 189k miles and still going.

  I have owned a few Hondas and they last forever. My 90 accord has 180k miles and counting. I havent done a thing to it but drive.

  1990 Honda Civic DX - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Jeffersbug - July 27 - 3:00 pm

  I bought my 1990 Accord DX used in 2008. It seemed like a great deal considering it only had 68K. Only serious problem is I need to add a quart of oil every 300 miles. Ive been to three mechanics and nobody can seem to find the cause. Been able to drive it 16,000 miles already without the problem getting worse. Other than that it runs great. The trunk does leak when it rains.

  By Happy! - May 5 - 6:11 am

  This car is great!! I purchased it with 189,000 miles when it was 20 years old. And it still starts and runs amazingly! It gets great gas mileage and great acceleration all at the same time! Extremely low mileage, awesome first car!

  Oustanding reliability - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Pete T - April 30 - 5:55 pm

  This car has over 380000 KM on it & is still incredible. We bought it in my first year of college and it has been faithful & reliable ever since. With the exception of regular wear & tear, & routine maintenance, we have not had to contribute to any major repairs additionally, during a recent cold-spell in mid-December 2008 where the temperature dipped to -37 C (-52 with the windchill), we did not need to plug in our engine block heater. The car has been outstandingly reliable in the most extreme temperatures consequently, our family is now comprised of a number of Honda Loyalists & it will take an inordinate amount of force or compulsion to convince us otherwise.

  Fabulous Car!!! - 1990 Honda Accord
  By boiseblonde - April 9 - 1:21 pm

  Weve got 255,000+ miles on this car and Im confident it will be running for a good time longer! Weve had very minimal and cheap repairs because it has been well-maintained for many years. It runs really strong going up hills, picks up speed quickly, is quiet and comfortable! It handles superbly in icy/wet conditions. I have been impressed over and over with this car! I have such peace of mind knowing I wont be stranded, since I travel long distances frequently. Ill buy Honda again!

  Could it get any better? - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Harmony - February 23 - 11:02 am

  Weve just celebrated 19 years together and hoping for many more. This car just runs and runs - nothing but routine maintenance. Over the years there have been several brake jobs, a set of CV boots, a new radiator, several sets of Michelins (only way to go for the original feel), two timing belts, and new motor mounts. I have averaged just about $250 per year over the life of the car. Radio, tape deck, clock and AC work great - usually the first things to go! Id add a CD, except I dont want to ruin the ambiance. Every year I go test drive new cars and decide Im not ready to part with this one. The kids have given up on inheriting it any time soon.

  It keeps going - 1990 Honda Accord
  By vlad - February 5 - 7:10 pm

  Bought this car as a student in Waterloo, Canada with 250,000 kilometres. Added 50k in 3 years. Its my second car after a 1979 Renault that I owned back home in Europe. Engine, transmission are still great. The engine does not burn oil. A small leak was cured by using Honda oil. Transmission runs smoothly after drain and refill and changing the PCV valve. I had several issues: cv joints and leaking radiator. Gas mileage drops to below 20mpg in cold ontario winters. Close to 30 mpg in summer. Rust around rear wells is not a killer if you rust proof once a year.

  The Old Girl! - 1990 Honda Accord
  By TOGs Mom - November 16 - 4:04 pm

  I affectionately refer to my 1990 Honda Accord as, "The Old Girl" or TOG for short! I purchased her new in August of 1990. Shes had her ailments throughout the years due to wear and tear, but has surpassed any vehicle Ive ever owned. She is GREAT on gas and has just about the same pick-up as my 2005 Acura TSX! After coming from a 1986 Oldsmobile that needed 4 transmissions, torque converter, etc., my first little Honda Accord coupe has sold me on Hondas for the rest of my life!

  18 years and still running strong - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Cruiser - September 6 - 10:30 am

  I bought my Accord new. Everything works good at 265,000 miles. I did have the trans reworked at 230,000, 1 new set of OEM brake rotors at 245,000. Has original freon in AC. Garage kept and waxed twice a year with McGuires products. Still run Michelin tires. I am on my 3rd stereo (needed a CD) and 2nd set of speakers. I plan to drive this car until the wheels fall off. Then I will probably rebuild it. Interior looks like new (scotchguard works). Mileage: 32/29
