...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.

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 bought this car used with 180k on it, I now have just under 250k miles on it and I have only had to 3 things, for a total of ~65 USD. I replaced the hood support struts that keep the hood up (both, although I probably could have just done one, for about 20 dollars each), the gas cap (the o-ring goes bad after about 15 years lol), and a tiny little o-ring on the power steering pump that cost me about 1.95 USD. All these fixes I did myself, the power steering required YouTube. Such an easy car to work on.

Purchased an '05 Accord EX w/Leather in 10/04 from Performance Honda in Fairfield OH. By 11/04 the windshield began making noises. Tried twice to get this fixed and failed both times. Called Honda Care to complain about the car (not the dealer). With Honda Care involvement, the service manager decided to make it personal and the situation got ugly. Honda walked away from their responsibility and I lost a dealer I had been using for 15 years. Windshield still makes noises and the problem is spreading throughout the interior. The rear window, passenger side molding, driver's door window, etc., etc., all pop, creak and snap. All-in-all a most frustrating and unpleasant experience.
Best Drive Yet!

Considering that this is my favorite car owned to date, Tenth on my list. I love to drive her daily. Second on my list is 2003 Nissan Maxima SE that was totaled prior to purchasing the Accord as a daily driver but it has out-performed everything else I have driven, I know first hand the weakness of Honda' and addressed them after purchasing the car new, Brembo Sport rotors combined with Ceramic Pads makes the brakes grab when needed, coilovers and a thicker sway bar make her handle like a dream on tight turns and Bridgestone Potenzas hold her glued to the pavement. I am a true driver that takes hold of all of Honda technology, no complaints after five years.
