    I have no interest in replacing this car, which has served me well for years. It did require about $3-4000 in replacement parts at around 105,000. It was well worth the investment. I wish they were still on the market! Only disappointment is that it only got 22 mpg in the city, and about 23-25 highway.

    Ive had this car in my family going on 14 years now, bought it brand new in 96. Shes going on 300,000KM by this spring, shes seen summers in 99 and the worst of Canadian winters in 01-02. Ive done my best to baby her (oil changes every 5000Km, routine maintenance and a few new cheap Honda parts here and there). Shes quicker then most cars on the road, drives incredible and cheap on gas. What more can you ask for in a car.

    Streamlined style is still fresh. Good for 300K mi if maintained and not abused. Fun to drive. Holds the road.

  • She is Getting Old - Still Going Strong! - 1996 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought my Honda Accord new in March 1996. She has been a great car and currently has 137,600 miles. Besides regular maintenance, I had to change the master cylinder at 115K miles, CV joints/boots at 125K miles, and the distributor at 137K miles. I have had a total of $800 (parts and labor) in repairs. I highly recommend Honda Accords as this is my second Accord. I sold my first Accord with 196K miles (which was still running fine when I sold it).

    When you get in your car, you should expect it to work. Also, with routine and preventative maintenance, you should expect NOTHING to go wrong with the car. My Honda has been running strong for 3 straight years. I changed out the plugs, hoses, added a new muffler and oxygen sensor and at 174,000 miles it is running perfectly. I will definitely buy another Honda when the time comes, but I plan to run mine into the ground.

    My dad got this car in 1996 and this car has really proven itself. It is truly amazing and we have over 130,000 miles on it but it still runs like a dream. And it also keep its retail value! This car is truly amazing!

  • Best car Ive ever owned (and probably ever will) - 1996 Honda Accord
    By -

    My mom bought this car brand new in 1996, when I was 10 years old. This was the car I learned to drive in. It was always pretty reliable, but unfortunately the clear coat started to wear off pretty early, making the car rather ugly from the beginning. My mom handed it down to me when I was 20, and I still drive it today. Its 20 years old now as I write this in 2016, and has 311,000 miles on the odometer. Still the original engine and auto transmission. Have never even changed the head gasket. I drive it every day, and at least a few times a year it makes a 4 to 8 hour round trip to the farther parts of the state. Has literally never broken down on me, the closest it has come to that was the starter hanging up, which I changed myself with an oem rebuilt one. The AC has broken a couple times, but it wasnt too hard to get it going again. Youd think the driver seat would have to be pretty worn and uncomfortable by now, but not at all. I have the cloth seats, and its not even torn yet. Feels perfect still sitting on it. I changed all the coolant hoses in 2015 just to be safe, after one started to leak a little. I have the feeling this things not ready to die yet!

  • Great Car! - 1996 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is an economical car! Very reliable. Costs for repairs is expensive suspension and steering was damaged prior to purchasing, costing over $2,500 in repairs if not more. Over all a wonderful, money saving car.Will never get rid of it. Its my 3rd Honda!
