Used 2007 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
Pretty reliable until recently
I rate it 4 stars for first 11 years and 3 for the last year and a half. Bought this 2007 Accord LX brand new, so every mile is mine. For 11 years it was only routine maintenance, that's it. However since 2018 I've had to put over $3,000 into it. Blown shocks, brake overhaul, alignment twice. I only commute to work and do the occasional weekend trip. No rough routes. So I'm a little bit disappointed in the recent repairs. The last issue happened on the day I was moving. Went to get coffee and on way back to meet the movers, car kept losing power. Bad solenoid. Got that fixed and it runs fine, but they found bad motor mounts now. Another $800 repair. I'm now looking to sell and get the 2018 Accord. Feel like I've put more than enough into this old car. Make sure you get the airbag recall fixed too. I've had to do it twice.

timing chain jump damaged motor
The timing chain jump and damaged valve of motor. Honda gives guide line that timing belt do not need service and which turn out not true. The engine need to be replaced and it will cost a bundle. Whoever own a 07 Accord should change timing chain around 80-100k miles to avoid the costly repair. Also front bumper cover is too low and easily be caught by a curb and been rip apart when you back out.
Anybody wants to buy mine...
It's a Honda! quality, reliable it's going to be. But on another note had three Hondas before this one, and to be honest, I'm kind of disappointed with the Accord LX. The interior looks just like the 1993 civic that I had. They went to basic, on the LX model at least. Not so great for long trips neither. The radio could use some extra amps, it's hard to hear music with the windows down. It seems like the new Civic has more futures and it just looks like it was made in this century. Looking forward to trade mine in for a Civic EX. Sorry Accord LX not so top of the line in my reviews. Hope this its helpful.
No Regrets!!!
I looked at both the 07 SE Camry and Accord. I was more impressed by the Camry stylish body. I purchased the Accord primarily because of the interior features: More horsepower and torque, both audio and cruise on the steering wheel, standard 6 CD changer, rear seat folding with lockable pass through, and standard security system. Also, Honda cars are very reliable. I drove a 95 Honda Civic for 9 years. I am getting between 27 to 29 combined miles. One of my favorite feature is the Oil Life Display. Currently, I have 5000 miles on my new new Honda and the Oil Life is 30%.
