  so far so good - 1990 Honda Accord
  By sweetcheeks - May 11 - 2:00 am

  Purchased with 123,000 on it, now has 176,000 and the problems are starting to occur, which I guess should be expected at such high miles. Things I have had to fix in the last year. 1. had to install new speed sensor. 2. alternator had to be replaced. 3. front cv joints. Power drivers window no longer works. Seems to be some problem with the electrical system, I am constantly putting new bulbs in brake, side marker and parking lights. Power locks, sometimes car will lock when shutting door, always have spare keey!! Lots of front end noise although I have had it inspected and there is nothing wrong! All in all though this has been an excellent reliable car.

  Best Value On The Road - 1990 Honda Accord
  By HPS - April 28 - 2:00 am

  Im the original owner of my Honda purchased with just 6 miles on the odometer, it now has over 122K. The car has been an oustanding vehicle. I was so satisifed I bought a second, new Honda Accord in 2000. If Honda continues to keep up the quality and value, I will be a Honda owner for life.

  Hate to sell it - 1990 Honda Accord
  By bobby24j - April 26 - 2:00 am

  Bought it new for my wife. Its been the best car Ive ever owned, which includes Buick, Chevrolets, Fords, Chrysler, Nissan and a few others. Ive never had a major mechanical problem...only routine maintenance, including oil/filter changes every 3,000 miles. Its got about 116,000 miles on it and drives like new. My wife wants a new car just because she wants a new car (go figure...its a genetic femaie thing). When that happens, I might just keep our 90 Accord because I like it so much.

  LoveMyHonda! - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Gladi B Oughtahonda - April 22 - 2:00 am

  I never owned a Honda until 1991 I bought a 1990 w/15000 miles. Ive never kept a car this long nor have I ever experienced such reliability and worry free ownership. I keep the oil changed and everything maintained and today it still rides and drives great! Most would not consider my 4 dr Accord an exciting car since it is a 4 cyl/auto. However, it is exciting to save all the money in repairs and gas prices and its excitng to be able to save for the next car while still enjoying the one you have. Its no slug on the road either: it has more pick up than many 6 cyl Ive driven. Im no pokey driver! Even the air doesnt bog it down.

  Impeccable quality - 1990 Honda Accord
  By J M - April 8 - 2:00 am

  I have loved my Accord. I purchased the car used in 1993 because of its reputation for reliabilty. (Anything would be a step up from a Chevy Lumina). The Honda did not disappoint. The car now has more than 261,000 miles, with the original engine, transmission, clutch. The car just keeps going and going. Regular, obsessive maintenance is important. The car may be bland, but my wallet is happy. All are surprised that the car looks and acts younger than it is. Sadly, I have decided to sell it -- I purchased a used Acura RL with 132,000 mile, half the miles of my Accord. Shall I be as lucky?!?

  Reliable even if it is a little dull... - 1990 Honda Accord
  By wester - February 5 - 2:00 am

  These cars tend to have a rust problem at the front of the rear wheel wells. Power could be better, but it runs every day.

  Old Reliable - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Carl Schlanger - January 3 - 2:00 am

  This car is one of three Honda Accords I currently own -- 1990, 1992, and 1993. Among them, Im nearing the 500,000 mile mark. I dont hesitate to repair or replace any part that fails because it happens so seldom and my mechanic gives me a lifetime warranty on any work he does. Transmissions are tough, engines last forever. Those assemblers in Marysville, Ohio really know what theyre doing!

  270K miles and still going - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Kyle G - December 15 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my Accord for almost 13 years. Other than an occassional electrical problem and being unable to keep the car in alignment, I was extremely pleased the first 190K miles. Since then, it has started costing me some money. I have averaged $160 a month in repairs for the last four years. Still cheaper than a new car, but more than I would have expected from a Honda. I have replaced the blower motor twice, alternator once, radiator once, mater brake cylinder twice, struts once, and CV boots numerous times. I also lost compression in one cylinder and had a valve job.

  THE BEST CAR EVER OWNED - 1990 Honda Accord
  By lavenderbutterfly - December 4 - 2:00 am

  I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT WAS MORE RELIABLE THAN THE HONDA. THIS IS MY 2ND ONE AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THE 1990 MODEL OVERALL OTHERS. HONDA HAS MADE A GREAT PRODUCT. I USED TO COMMUTE 170 MILES DAILY AND NEVER DID I HAVE ANY TROUBLE. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHANGED MAYBE TWICE. WHEN THE ORIGINAL ONES WERE CHANGED I WENT OVER THE TIME LIMIT AND THEY WERE REALLY STILL IN GOOD SHAPE! SHE IS ONLY NOW GIVING ME PROBLEMS BUT WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT, SHE IS 12 YEARS OLD. THERE ARE OVER 246,000 MILES ON MY HONDA. I DONT COMMUTE ANYMORE SO I AM UNABLE TO TELL YOU EXCEPT TO GUESTIMATE MY MILEAGE.
