Used 2006 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
220k trouble free miles
12 years of trouble free driving. This car just keeps going and going. It doesn't burn any oil at 220k. I have only replaced wear items. I have averaged 31 -32 mpg for the life of the car 70% highway 30% city. This is the best car I have owned.

rock solid and they just keep on going
This is just my third car (all Honda Accords, all purchased used) since 1994. The previous two made it to 287K and 325K before an upgrade. Accords are great for the highway, as well as around town driving. And I was surprised my current 2006 EX handled a difficult back country "road" like a champ as well, in first gear going 2 mph over a rutted trail for the last couple of miles. The 06 never dips below 24 mpg, and that is mostly around town driving in the winter. Best mileage is in the summer with primarily highway driving, which will get you 35 mpg. I finally needed some significant brake work recently, and replaced the rotors and pads both front and back in the past few months (but not the calipers). You can't go wrong with these! Update 11/28/17 based on email invitation from Edmunds to do so: still going strong 10000 miles later, new tires make for a smooth ride. I have begun, though, to lust after tech like a rear camera and wireless connections that can take a smartphone call via the car audio system. Also would be nice to have a readout of outside temperature. But nothing that I can't do without, for now anyway. Update 5/31/18 in response to an email invitation from Edmunds: still rockin it, though need some A/C work that will probably set me back $500. 10 years with the car now, after buying it when it was two years old with 43K miles. No complaints! Uodate 12/1/19: A/C work was only $260, (for compressor O-rings and a relay switch) though I received quotes from Honda dealers for as much as $1900 to "fix the problem". Brakes shimmy a bit when braking at high speeds. Otherwise good!

Unbelievable
2006 accord, 4cyl, automatic, all original, except the starter, serpentine belt, and electric fans. Current mileage is just a tad over 375,000, just changed the oil today.

Honda Accord "An excellent vehicle"
I researched the Accord, Camry, and Altima and the Galant and selected the Accord. The Accord is very competent, refined and nimble. Its fun to drive. It feels very sporty.
