Fantastic Car

2005 Honda Accord EX V-6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Bought this car back in 07. Best value for my money hands down. car is up to 130K miles and drives like its brand new. all systems (electric, sound sun-roof, & leather) work beautify and never had a problem. Passengers and friends don't believe that I have 130K miles or that the car is 5 years old. I highly recommend this vehicle!

I commute 180 miles a day round trip, since 10/05 this car has been reliable and not let me down at all. For the cost of the car, it is a great buy. Following Honda's maintenance guide, 3000 mile oil changes are NOT necessary, the book shows 9000 miles for normal use, 6000 miles for extreme conditions. This is the first foreign car I've owned for quite some time, with my daily drive, it wont be my last. This car performs well on the highway and in the city.

I purchased this vehicle new and have had absolutely no regrets, even after putting some +25,000 miles on it the first year. I haven't had to put the car in the shop for anything and the performance hasn't diminished at all. The one possible downside of the V6 6speed is the gas mileage.

If you want reliability...

...get this car! Bought this car used in 2008 when it had 39,000 miles. Now has 78,000 and going strong. Have purchased new tires and then just oil and gas since. The Accord is just a great solid, safe, reliable car. If that excites you, then you're golden! It's not the most exciting car to look at, and it's not all that fun to drive, but you turn the key and it starts and you get to where you want to be...that makes for a great car in my opinion. It has decent power too which is nice. There's no reason we can't drive this car to 200,000 miles or more. UPDATE: Still generally a great car, but I decided eventually that I didn't like sedans and so I sold this car in 2017 and got a Kia Soul. Some things to note -- The 2005 Accord is a very big sedan. It is longer than my 2011 CRV, and it was not super easy to fit it into the garage, and then it leaves little room to walk around it (depending on the size of your garage and what you have in it). This year Accord also has a design flaw that allows road debris to damage the air conditioning condenser. This happened to my Accord. So, not really all that fun. So, at this point, although a reliable car in most ways, I would not buy it again if I know now what I did then.

I purchased my Honda Accord new and have been the only owner. The car now has about 108,000 miles on it and I haven't had any major issues. The only problem that just developed is that my rear passenger side door locked and I cannot get it unlocked. I will have to take it in to the dealership for this. I have it serviced regularly and could not ask for a better vehicle! Buying a Honda was a great choice. I will be giving mine to my son in four years and expect it to last him through his last few years of high school and through college!
