Best car I ever bought

I buy a new car about every five years because of a long commute. I held on to my 2008 Accord and it still outperforms my new Honda. It’s a touch big, but it feels great to drive, holds the road and performs like a champ. I have about 120,000 miles on it and my mechanic told me that as long as I continue to take good care of it I could expect to get as many as 300,000 miles out of it. I’ll be one of those retired old farts driving an old, clean sedan.

So my 2008 Honda Accord I bought back in 2014 on my birthday with 76000 miles I paid close to $15,000 total after everything which I think was a fair price here we are 5 years later 2019 the car now has today 242,000 the car has been a very well taken care of and well-maintained by me and it has been a great car although I had to put some work into it but that is no surprise all cars need maintenance first major repair was a recall by Honda for oil consumption at 125000 miles to engine was reconstructed with new piston rings in new timing chain I changed the starter and a 175000 miles 200,000 miles I change to front ball joints into front axles around 230000 miles I change the alternator. Of course regular brakes rotors and tires I have done a lot in the city of Boston where I'm from but I also do a lot of Highway as well I have taken the car as far as the Florida Keys there and back drove perfect no problem so to sum it all up I am pleased with my vehicle it's the third car I've owned and I'm a Honda driver for life

Well, I'm still driving my wonderful 2008 Honda Accord, LX-P, with over 157,000 trouble free miles, thanks to great service from a local friend/professional mechanic. I change my transmission fluid every 15,000 miles, oil changes 4-5,000 with synthetic blend, All other maintenance as well, along with weekly washing and waxing. This car is running great, my heart is still ticking. When you see the price of a new vehicle, it's nice to be able to still enjoy some benefit of what you purchased years ago. So much pressure and allure to keep replacing. Purchase one and wish you as much satisfaction as many have. Best to you and find a local service organization that you trust and they do what they say they will do. Here's an update to my previous review(s). I now have over 163,000 miles on my car and it continues to perform very well and requires only routine maintenance. Yes, I have replaced a number of items due to use, not neglect. Regular fluid changes, oil, transmission, etc. Find an honest, reliable mechanic to look one over if you're considering a purchase and follow your owner's manual for scheduled maintenance. I intend to keep my car going as long as possible, as many are doing today and highly recommend the Honda Accord. If you find one and do not know the maintenance history and if the fluids have been changed, get this taken care of immediately.

I purchased my Honda as a more affordable alternative to an Audi A5 and BMW 3 (now 4)Series coupe. The exterior of this car is sharp (especially in the Belize Blue Pearl). The exterior design has aged very well. The interior design has aged very well and I find the button layout to be very logical. I was surprised to see so much hard plastic on the dash at this price range ($30k +), but visually it looks good. The car has way too much road noise however. The car has a taunt but comfortable ride, which gives it a sporty premium feel I like. The engine has tons of power once your hit 3000 rpm, but below that its pretty gutless. Fuel economy is right in line with EPA estimates.
