Issues during the first 6 years included rapid brake wear, radio/AC backlight failure, ignition failure (6 ignition coil plus labor is a $1000 repair). The transmission never seemed to work right and I took the car in 2 weeks after we bought it (only to be ridiculed by the service transmission). It went in again for the transmission recall in 2004. The transmission fluid was changed at 111k miles in 2008 (well before the required 120k). Less then 6 months later the transmission went out. First gear only, no reverse. A faulty torque converter, the cause for the jerky shifts from 1st to 2nd gear that many experience, burned up the transmission.

I am just checking back. I bought it 7 months ago and put 6000 miles on it. Loved it then, love it more now. Some changes since my initial report: Bumpiness got better. Now it feels just right. Not too soft, not too bumpy. MPG improved. I get 35 MPG (75 % HWY). On my last trip with AC on and 80 MPH all the way I got 30 MPG. Pick up is better. It has better pick up on HWY speeds (ex. from 55-80). Very comfortable at highway speeds. Had 1 recall: simple stuff (weak hose clamp). I am considering a second one.

I have a blue Accord LX 4cyl auto. Excellent brake response and feel. Passing power is confident and ready when cruising on freeway driving. Engine is peppy; as is typical of Accord. I drove this car from TX to VA and the mileage comes to about 33-34 mpg with 4 adult passengers at that. Honda could use a better sound system. With 45K miles I still have the original tires, brake pads and has done a wheel alignment. This is my second Accord, the first one a 92 DX with 193000 miles and still running perfectly. Both were made in Japan with VIN starting with JH...My daughter finally "sequestered" the car from me. She can't stand the fun I am having. Maybe a coupe v6 will be fun huh?
I really like this car.

Coming from 1991 Civic LX fuul version,153K. This car is powerful (Honda,are you guys sure its a 4 cyl?), confortable,fun to drive, good sound system (CD player+ 2 speakers, good AC (Texas here), classy looks. Only think I'm a little bit dissapointed is about some rattling/cracking noises in the sunvisor's area.(on bumpy roads) It seems that the padding there is a bit loosen.Dealer promised to fix it on its first service.(3750 Miles)

Not as quiet as my '92. Lots of wind noise around front windows. Road/tire noise is more than my previous accords. Drivers door doesn't always want to close as easily as the other three. Automatic Transmision is 5 star. Engine has more power than my previous Accords. Dealership very concerned about customer satifaction.
