  Gets funner with tuning - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Samir - September 24 - 11:33 pm

  My first car and by far the best car my family has ever owned. Its been in 4 accidents totaled twice and I can still push it. Its easy to work on and get better performance with the abundance of aftermarket parts. I had mine repainted but it got scratched so the old white paint still shines new. With $50 in suspension worth it handles like a BMW. Comfort wise comparable to a Benz. I will be very, very, very sad when I sell her to get something newer.

  Best Car I Ever Owned too! - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Automaniac - September 15 - 12:14 pm

  Bought the 5-speed from first owner on 2/16, 68.9k miles on it, for $6.5k (down from 7.5) now 133k hard miles, cold starts, short distances, snowbelt. Could afford any new car, but was thinking of going overseas then, and did not want to take depreciation hit. Engine is a jewel, never had ANY problem. Drove cross country, DC to Seattle to Long Beach CA and back to DC, summer 03, few problems, top MPG. (32-36 hwy, at 65-85 mph). Can cruise all day @ 90 mph in utter comfort. Rust behind the rear wheels. Seldom braked down, but parts cost too much (timing belt, brakes, distributor, fuel pump, each $500 or so). Still, best car I ever owned, and low cost, due to rare failures and high quality.

  great car - 1990 Honda Accord
  By pete reno - August 14 - 7:39 pm

  I bought this car with 120,000 miles. It now has 150,000 I have replaced the clutch, radiator and cv joints.It runs flawlessly! doesnt burn or leak any oil!!handles great. The transmission is tight as is the rest of the car. Avg 25-27 mpg city, 33-36 highway. When can I buy a diesel Accord!! I owned a 2000 jetta tdi nothing but problems!!! This car at 15 years old is a much better vehicle than the brand new vw.

  High Mileage Honda - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Honda Lover - August 4 - 9:17 am

  I purchased this car in Sept 1990 right out of college. 15 years later, it still takes me on long journeys reliably. I still get over 30 miles/gallon. Yes, the mileage is correct at 440,400.

  Still a top 4 cylinder car - 1990 Honda Accord
  By clarkfball101 - May 9 - 12:41 am

  Even in the year 2005 the 2.2L engine is still one of the best on the road. Excellent choice for a first car for a teen. Car can go from one side of the country to the other.

  Fantastic automobile! - 1990 Honda Accord
  By BamaFlum - April 15 - 6:19 pm

  My wife bought this car brand new and I inherited it. It now has 136k and I love it! Fit and finish are top notch. Weve replaced the CV boots, the clutch cylinders, rotors, and done routine maintenance to keep it going. Im going to replace the shocks and springs next and hopefully it will take me another 136k. All three of my kids fit in the back (albeit snug!). For a car that is 15 years old, it is great. If my wife would let me and we had the money, I would drop in an JDM h22a (Prelude engine) and that would solve the power issue! Great car and highly recommended for a used car, especially for a teenagers first car.

  Oldie and goodie - 1990 Honda Accord
  By geoff - February 4 - 4:56 am

  This is the first car ive ever owned, and I am the third owner. I got it with about 124K miles on it and ive driven for about 1000 plus miles. I am very impressed, it doesnt look like a 15-year old car. I did have to replace the back brake pads, get it aligned and one of the CV joints needs replacing. However, that can wait...but this car was well-taken care of and with proper care can last another 15 years. It is a great car for a student or family on a budget and is a steal at the price of under $3000.

  Best Purchase EVER! - 1990 Honda Accord
  By PMW - January 20 - 7:56 pm

  I bought this car new and never knew it would last almost 15 years! It just died at 324,000 miles, but if I could fix it myself I would keep it! Unfortunately the repair would be more expensive than the car. I kept up all the general maintenance and no real problems. I never had to replace the clutch!! How many car manufacturers can do that?!? This car was the best investment I have ever made and would gladly do it again! I will own another Honda!!!

  By Douglas Berry - January 10 - 2:24 am

  By far the best running car I have ever owned, it never gives major problems always warns me if something needs attention and just keeps on going. Other than normal wear and tear on parts comp[onents etc. There has been no problem with this car.

  Make it again & Ill buy it! - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Armes - December 8 - 6:16 pm

  I have never had a more reliable car. The first owner svcd car well, and that matters. I am sad that Honda doesnt own or prevent common problems (like an $8 O-ring hold down bracket that could have saved my oil draining and getting all over my new timing belt) until too late. Private mechs had been adding the bracket when changing the belt for yrs! I asked about common problems at my last svc, and they mentioned radiators, but wouldnt let me spend the money that day. Sure enough, it started to leak, and I have a new one. Those are the ONLY 2 major repairs I have had in 6.5 year
