Used 2004 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
Best value for a vehicle
First car owned where I didn't use the bumper to bumper warranty, and after 6.5 years, and 139K miles, never a broken item, or single adjustment. Replaced tires, brakes, rotors once, air filters, oil change every 3K, and transmission drain and fill every 15K. Still love the way it drives, hoping to get 300K.
Accord Reliability
Make sure to keep up with fluids(i.e.-oil, Honda A/T fluid/drain refill every 15k miles, run full synthetic, whether Honda or Pennzoil, Red Line, or my favorite Amsoil. Use hi-performance synthetic filter media oil filters(NAPA Platinum), or comparable; change coolant every 50-60,000miles, etc) That is why I’ve achieved 309,900 miles! I am currently at 345,000 miles, and getting ready to replace my plugs and igniters. Going with NGK Ruthenium plugs and NGK igniters. My gas mileage had dropped off by 5-7.5 mpg, and my Accord was not starting as easily, as before! Other major work done was rear main oil seal, and transmission seal, replaced along with all motor mounts. Water pump, along with radiator replacement, and coolant replacement, as well. Accord still runs well and very smooth😊

Excellent Value--Top Notch for the price
In comparing an almost loaded-out model (no nav--couldn't justify the price) to an Acura TL, this car is a better value, no question. You lose 30 hp, no xenon lights, more pedestrian tires and rims, and a slightly less sporty appearance along with a less refined interior. But the upside--you save 7- 10 grand. You still have much better than average performance (on 87 vs. 92 octane fuel), very nice heated leather seats, a killer stereo with XM, and a good driving experience. The car does what you want, when you want it to. I can't think of a better car for the price. And reliability: I've owned 4 Hondas, and never had major issues with any of them.
No worries with this car!
This is the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. I love the fact that during 14 Years of ownership, the car always starts on the coldest mornings. There have been no expensive repairs and maintenance costs are low.

Another excellent Honda!
I have owned Hondas almost my entire driving career! Each has given outstanding reliability, excellent performance, and great fuel economy. The drive is solid, and the car handles very well. The 2004 sedan is no different, other than the 4-cylinder engine is a bit more powerful than it used to be. That is a plus for me. Great car. I would recommend it to anyone.
