Brakes and rotors: F = Ma -dness?

This car has a host of outstanding features--excluding the ABS and hydraulics. The rotors seem to degrade very quickly: The first owner was able to wipe them out after 25M! I had had the rotors resurfaced (twice!), but there are still problems, probably because they are so thin now. Now I can't bed-in the brakes, which could mean trouble on the freeway or in dense city traffic because of the huge stopping distance.

Can't go wrong with Accord

I shopped Camry, Acura TL,Lexus 330, Maxima. I kept going back to the Accord for price and reputation. 6 cylinders provide plenty of pep. I only have a couple hundred miles at this point. No regrets. I expect to get well over 100,000 miles of good service. If you do your homework and shop around, you can easily beat Edmund's price projections.

I bought my 2004 Accord EX V6 after six enjoyable years with my 1998 Accord EX V6. Although the 2004 model has a number of improvements over the 1998, I am concerned that the reliability slipped. My 2004 Accord had a transmission pressure leak which caused the transmission to slip after two weeks in service (500 miles) and required towing to the dealer. It was fixed in two days and I had no problem since. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Purchased for $24,416 + sales tax + ~$30 filing fee. Could not find any other comparably-priced vehicle that could touch the Accord EX V6! I also could not find any compelling reason to pay more. [Acura TSX is very similar, but smaller, less powerful (V4), and more expensive.] The car is very comfortable and the 240hp V6 provides for exceptionally smooth acceleration. I love this car, and considering Honda's reliability, expect to be driving it for a long, long time!

Reliability?

I bought this car largely because of perceived perceptions on Honda's reliability. Just after 36,000 miles, my radio console lost power. I took it back to the dealership and fortunately Honda payed full cost for the repair because other Hondas were had the same problem. At 91,629 miles my transmission failed without warning. I called Honda corporate to complain, and was given a case no. Took it to the dealership and Honda agreed to pay for half the cost to replace the transmission which was $1725. Honda provided a new 3 year/36000 mile warranty. I am very glad Honda helped with these problems, but these are not problems I would expect from a Honda.
