Beautiful car, got one of the first cars at the dealer when they came out. Very happy with the car enjoy the ride and performance. I am having early wear on the brake, shimmy at 60 mph with 20K miles on the car. Possible design issue, dealer reviewing. Mileage is disappointing.

We have owned this car for almost a year now and I will not say that there isn't room for improvements (very minor room), but if you are looking for a family car that is very high quality, solid, roomy, very fun to drive, great handling and problem free there is no reason to look any further. I have owned them all Dodge, Chevy, Toyota, Ford and Hyundai and I can tell you that when new little difference exist between the brands that make a buyer go in a certain direction, but after 3 and 4 years after purchase is where the Honda shines above the rest. I've owned a 2000 civic before this and also a 2009 civic now and I can say with confidence that time make Hondas the cars other try and live up to.

My favorite Accord

I bought this car lightly used (19K miles) a few months ago. The EX is THE model to get. I have been very happy with this car so far. It replaced a '97 Camry 4cyl and since it is a much larger/safer/heavier/more powerful car, it gets a little less MPG. With conservative driving, I get about 24 city/34 hwy (properly manually calculated). The seats are very comfortable & supportive. I test drove an EX-L and felt the seats were too firm (plus, the EX-L seemed too slow..maybe not broken in yet). FWIW, mine is from Japan. I drove/compared to a dozen other cars.

So Far, Very Satisfied....

This is my 2nd consecutive Honda Accord, after replacing my 1992 Accord Coupe purchased in 1996, due more to size limitations of a growing family than mechanical need. The '92 was the best car I've owned in 24 years of driving. I test drove several models from Toyota, Honda, Acura, VW and Nissan. The Accord was the best in my book with the Camry running a close 2nd. We wanted a safe, functional, affordable & reliable family 4-door to haul adults and kids for a variety of activities. So far we're very satisfied. Safety ratings are very good. Ride, comfort, visibility, braking, steering and acceleration are excellent for a car of its size and price. MPG are decent for this size car.

I can't believe the room. At 6'5 it is very comfortable. Ride is smooth though road noise is a little excessive. Truly enjoy and appreciate all of the features that came standard. Very satisfied after 5 months. We love to drive it and we are averaging about 28 mpg (combined city/highway).
