  I love my honda! - 1997 Honda Accord
  By ErinS - February 13 - 2:00 am

  I was very surprised to see that people have had problems with these cars. My car drives like a dream. At 102,000 I havent had a single problem. Great commuter car, comfortable and great on fuel economy.

  WELL MADE! - 1997 Honda Accord
  By vaneverette71 - January 31 - 5:18 pm

  I bought my 97 Special Edition in March, 03 with 60k on her. The only things I have done besides oil changes have been replacing the radiator and timing belt (1st time!) at 160k. I wish I had a stick shift, but it still runs well and burns very little oil. I change oil every 7.5k. The new hondas look good, but since Ill only get $2-3k in trade, I think Ill hang onto this baby a while!

  Honda review - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Thomas73 - December 22 - 10:00 am

  By far, this has been the best vehicle I have ever purchased. Fuel economy is great, highway comfort is excellent (I travel quite often), and interior features/amenities are in "the right place...at 117,000 miles, no squeaks or rattles and the engine is still just as smooth and peppy as the day it was purchased, I would definitely recommend a Honda product to my friends. Simple routine maintenance is all any car requires, but this is my 6th car and it is the easiest to maintain, virtually worry-free.

  Love my 97 - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Jason - October 23 - 9:44 am

  I bought this car used 1 1/2 years old w/ 26k miles. The car now has 264,000 miles and mostly minor fixes due to mileage and age (new radiator in 06), fluid changes, and 1 timing belt so far, plugs/wires etc.. nothing out of the ordinary. I still drive this car 100 miles per day even though I have another 07 Accord and a 03 CR-V all of which have been awesome cars. Easily the best car(s) Ive ever owned. Even after all this time its very comfortable and quiet. I am going to run this car till it dies!

  Great car - 1997 Honda Accord
  By sara - September 12 - 6:44 am

  I got my Honda for my 16th birthday. My Dad has bought it brand new, and passed it on to me. Ive put over 100K on it in the past 3 years, and other than needing some minor repairs that you can expect with any 11 year old car with 200,000 miles on it, I havent had any problems with my Honda. Unfortunately, I flipped it last week and its not repairable (at least not for way more than the $3,000 its worth now) - I wish I could afford a new accord, but as a college student I definitely cant. Great car to give a new driver - its sporty, had great mpg, is reliable, and holds up great in a crash - I flipped going 70 on the highway and walked away with nothing more than some bruises. Great car

  One enjoyable car! - 1997 Honda Accord
  By rageous - September 7 - 10:00 am

  Ive enjoyed every minute of the last five years with my 97 Accord. Its fun to drive and very reliable. Only routine maintenance has been needed in the last 80,000 miles. This is also a very easy car to customize with thousands of available accessories on the market.

  Still Running & Looking Great - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Chris - September 2 - 7:34 pm

  I bought my Accord in January of 2004 at 90,000 miles. It still runs great thanks in part of regular repairs that it has needed and the simple fact that its a Honda. I am planing on buying a new Accord this spring so I will miss this car a lot when I trade it in.

  Happy Accord owner - 1997 Honda Accord
  By hnk000 - August 29 - 12:10 am

  Ive had my Accord se since it was a year old/25k miles. It now has 250,000 miles on it. Ive done every maintenance requirement on it. And had only a few problems all things considered. Brought it from la to ca and back. After all this time the only problem I have is the leaks. But after so much wear and tear what else could anyone ask for. A great car. Im attached still after all these years. And it still looks perfect. Word.
