  Id do it again! - 1997 Honda Accord
  By CoryinTX - May 6 - 12:01 pm

  So I purchased my 97 Accord about 3 years ago. Since then Ive only had minor things to replace (both knobs for the A/C, timing belt & water pump, radiator, brake pads). I absolutely love my car! It has just about 115K miles and it still runs like a dream. This is the 3rd Accord that Ive owned. The car is 11 years old, but Im willing to bet that its got another 150K miles left on it. The backseat is just ok for long trips (say my friends) & the front seats arent that bad either. Could use just a little bit more leg room after 5 hours on the road (my partner & I are 64") & some extra lumbar support for the driver would be nice. All of these are minor issues though. GREAT CAR!!!

  Solid Car - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Richa - May 1 - 2:49 pm

  This is the most solid built car Ive ever owned-- almost eleven years old and no rattles! None. Also, there was a recall to replace dist. cap, rotor, wires, etc. within the past two years that would have addressed some of the other reviewers reliability complaints. My only "repair" (besides expected maintenance) was a new starter. This has got to be one of the better used car buys--30 mpg for a car that seats five.

  By far my favorite car Ive owned - 1997 Honda Accord
  By tabby - April 8 - 10:36 pm

  My poor accord had its last ride 5 days ago. I got broadsided by a huge lifted Chevy Silverado truck on my drivers side door (the truck was going 60 mph on impact) and I walked away from the accident, and only ended up with some stitches (from the broken window glass) and a black eye. The police said theyd never seen a compact car hold up that well in that severe of a crash, and in most cars I would have been dead. And to top it off, the Chevy truck had minimal damage but wouldnt start, and my crushed Honda still started, drove, and all the electrical still worked. Furthermore, I have not had any problems ever with this car, nor had my mom who bought it new. Next car will be another Honda.

  This is a great vehicle. Very reliable. zippy when it needs to be. I really like it and its great to drive on short trips. Long trips the left arm rest very uncomfortable.

  By Esseppi - November 23 - 7:37 pm

  I boght this car knowing very little about the reputation of the Accord. Loved it from the first second of driving. Extremely reliable, only had to replace radiator once and battery another time. Extremely fuel efficient.

  97 SE accord - 1997 Honda Accord
  By SeattleGirl - October 25 - 11:53 am

  I purchased this car with 55,000 miles on it in Nov 00. I now have 140,000 and its still going. Do regular oil changes and maintenance. The dealer tells me the oilpan has slight leak, which I wont pay to repair and they say I might never need to repair (pricey fix, like about $1000). Slow window motors, weak AC, great gas mileage, reliable car that looks good too. Ill drive it until it dies, which I hope isnt before 200,000 miles. It is my daily driver to work, Id love to get a new one but cant see getting rid of such a great car. It was worth the $14,000 paid 7 years ago.

  I LOVE MY HONDA - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Islander18 - September 20 - 10:00 am

  I bought this beauty in a trade with another private party for my old 88 accord (190000 mi). I have driven this car only 1000 miles since purchasing it but I have already fallen in love with it. The only thing that I have done is replace the standard air box with a K&N Cold Air Intake to increase the horsepower a little. You cant beat 25 MPG in town and the features that come along with an SE. You couldnt pay me enough to sell this beauty
