  A Reasonable but Not Exciting Used Car - 1996 Honda Accord
  By emeyer - September 3 - 12:16 pm

  This review concerns the 5 speed manual LX 4 cylinder model. Driving: The manual shift has always provided a little annoying hesitation coming out of first gear. I like the extra power of the manual transmission for passing. Interior displays are easy and logical. Not an exciting car to drive--but okay. Reliability: This car is now 10 years old and I have had some difficulty with the usual suspects for older cars: brakes and exhaust have been replaced. I have also replaced the starter (strangley). Otherwise the power features continue to work fine. Average amount of repair/maintenance Id say. Overall I am reasonably happy with the car.

  Ive owned my Accord for nearly 10 years. It is by far the most reliable and problem free car I have ever owned. It is not the most exciting car to drive however, I bought the car for reliability and gas mileage and have gotten my monies worth. Currently, I have 165K miles and hope to get 250K.

  The "Mayesmobile": A Well-Built Wagon - 1996 Honda Accord
  By Marc Mayes - January 9 - 10:58 pm

  A silver 1996 Honda Accord wagon has been in our family for so long, it has earned the loving nickname "The Mayesmobile". It has transported us through blizzards and hurricanes reliably and comfortably. For a decade, it has swallowed our hockey gear, musical instruments, friends and animals with ease. After all these years, it is still a peppy* drive, rattle-free over potholes, nimble in the corners and easy to parallel park. As the car has gotten older, we have had a few issues finding parts (struts at 90,000 miles) when weve needed them, but as of yet, no major repairs have been required outside of routine maintenance. It is easily the best car our family has ever owned.

  The "find" of the year! - 1996 Honda Accord
  By #4sGirl - October 12 - 5:14 pm

  I bought this car with 32k miles on it from a man whose late wife quite literally only drove it to church, the grocery store and Wal-Mart. Its in fabulous condition for being 9 years old. The only trouble Ive had from it are some occasional noises Im not used to - Ive never had a 4c before. Im loving the low-mileage (I sold my 99 Pathfinder w/ 93k mi to get this car) and the high gas mileage... I plan to drive it for many years to come.

  Happy Owner - 1996 Honda Accord
  By King - September 17 - 2:10 pm

  I sold a 2002 Ford Ranger, still under factory warranty to purchase a nine year old Honda Accord. I didnt see the point in paying so much more for the truck. I absolutely love my Accord. Maybe because Im saving a lot of money on gas and monthly payments, or maybe just because its a great car! When I purchased it, it had just over 100,000 miles and was in near perfect condition. I suspect it will last longer than the Ranger I sold that had 55,000 miles!

  Great car, as reliable as they come - 1996 Honda Accord
  By Ken - August 28 - 6:31 am

  I bought this car at 98K miles. For the two years I have driven it, I have not had any problems with it - everything works, no breakdowns, no funny noises, etc. A quick check shows the resale value has hardly depreciated and its not surprising why that is so. On recent trips, Ive averaged 31 miles on the highway. This car has been very good to my wallet and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of buying it.
