Was My Mom's Car
I just inherited my Mom's Accord in 10/10. I hand picked it for her in 07/00. I got a great deal 4 her, $22k out the door. She only drove it 60k mi. I sold my 93HondaDelSol (I bought brand new 08/15/92-that car was AWESOME)[thought since I'm over 40 now, a bit more mature car will serve me (and friends) better] I am really grateful to get to drive this car - it drives just as good as the day she got it. The transmission does act a little funny when backing into my parking space; she did get it repaired under recall but, I should follow up with the dealer when I get the timing belt done. Need new tires. I drive very little so it should last me another 10+yrs! I do miss my Mom though!
200k
Basically my first car, which I purchased around 60k miles kept up on maintenance fairly well and it lasted me into the 200k range. The transmission dose have shifting issues (slow to shift/occasionally chunky), I've had to repair the starter and fuel pump both about a year apart around 120k mi, transmission issue became noticeable around the same time, break pads, break light/pedal switch has a cheap stopper that commonly breaks but fairly easy to replace.. main problem recently is that it's a common easy target for break in's and the catalytic converter being (most targeted next to prius) stolen was the nail in the coffin. If you live in a nice area or have a garage I would recommend as a bland but reliable ride.

Stay away from this one
While Accords are typically reliable cars, they seem to have frequent transmission problems. Unless you find one of these for dirt cheap (including an already rebuilt transmission), I suggest looking for a different car entirely. My 2000 Accord got to about 130,000 and suddenly developed severe transmission issues. It's now approaching 140,000 and I'm still driving it 20+ miles to work every day, but every day I get in, I wonder if it will make it home. I asked Honda for some good-will in helping me fix the transmission (even a discount would've been fine!) since these cars are known for their transmission woes, but they flatly declined. I don't see myself buying another Honda.
Transmission Went Out
I knew that the 2000 Accord had a history of transmission problems but since my car had made it to 108,000 miles, I felt it would make it to 200,000. I loved this car. But last week the transmission did go out. I would still recommend this car since most of them do fine. Fortunately I still got a good trade-in, and got a new 2009 Civic, which I love just as much.
