I purchased my Accord new, it now has over 135,000 miles and is 12 years old. I replaced the rear brakes twice during the first 30,000 miles of ownership because of a design flaw that was later corrected. Since then, I have only replaced the brakes one more time! The car has had some minor suspension work performed that I attribute to normal wear and tear. The alternator and power steering pump have been replaced as well. The SRS module was replaced by the dealer free of charge even though the car had over 100,000 miles (Thank you Fisher Honda, Harry Snyder is the best service representative I have ever encountered). The car has never burned a drop of oil and handles all elements well here in Colorado with Nokian WRG4 tires. Overall, it has needed very little work in the 12 years that I've owned it. It's been a very comfortable car, however the road noise is high compared to other vehicles in it's class. In fact, my only significant complaint is the road noise. I've considered replacing it, but it just drives too well to replace. It drives almost the same as when I drove it off the lot, I'll probably keep it as long as it remains trouble free. Just a great car, I'll probably buy another Accord when I finally need a new car!

Best car I ever bought

I buy a new car about every five years because of a long commute. I held on to my 2008 Accord and it still outperforms my new Honda. It’s a touch big, but it feels great to drive, holds the road and performs like a champ. I have about 120,000 miles on it and my mechanic told me that as long as I continue to take good care of it I could expect to get as many as 300,000 miles out of it. I’ll be one of those retired old farts driving an old, clean sedan.
Still a great car

Bought my accord new back in July 2008. Currently have about 75,000 miles. This has a been a great car so far. The engine is smooth and has plenty of pull. It is a comfortable car for road trips, we frequenlty make a 5-6 hour drive to California with two small childern in the back, plenty of room for everyone. Still love the design of the car, has the look of a 5 series BMW. We average about 23mpg, mostly city driving. On the hwy, I have gotten up to 29mpg (setting the cruise to about 80mph). Here are the issues with this car. First, the door trim pops loose all the time, a quick push and it is back on, but a little annoying. Second, the rear brakes wear out too quickly.
My favorite Honda to date

I have 25,000 miles on it. I did just have the rear brake pads replaced and the rotors resurfaced, which 50% will be reimbursed by the class action suit. Other than that, no problems. Plenty of power with the V6, no issues with V6. Road noise isn't any more than when I test drove it (and is not bad). Seats are not any less comfortable than when I test drove it (and are not bad). Radio controls are not any more confusing now than when I test drove it. Materials in dashboard are not any cheaper looking now than when I test drove it.

Been a reliable, relatively trouble-free ride. Had to replace an a/c compressor, but that is the only major problem. Only complaint would be road noise when running.
