My car is used daily. Serviced at regular intervals. I have the 2.4 litre four cylinder engine. As a realtor, most of my business is conducted within the local county I reside in. I've read many negative reviews regarding the brake wear. My rear brake pads have been replaced at 36,000 mile intervals. This may be due to the small size of the brake pad design. The front brake pads are original and now have 93,000+ miles. There are blind spots to sides, so caution entering highways and changing lanes. Small after market mirrors are avilable to help. A very reliable and economical car. As with any car, preventative maintenance is important. "Be kind to your car and your car will be kind to you". I recommend the Honda Accord. Fuel economy 22-24 mpg local/33-35 mpg hwy.

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.

Fell in love with the car initially until quality problems showed up - Premature wear of rear brake pads (replaced at 20,000 KM), power steering pump failed, and just recently (09 Aug 10), transmission oil was leaking (dealer found cracked transmission cover). Other issues by comparison - cabin noise, not so good gas mileage.

I've owned 17 cars in 30 years so I've driven a few. This is my 5th Honda and my last. I'm going elsewhere. Noisy, gutless, rattles. The brakes were fixed and reimbursed. OEM tires made it 28k miles. Cheap. Glovebox rattles. Cheap. Seats are uncomfortable and thin. Cheap. Cross members under parcel shelf in trunk rattle. Cheap. 5-speed AT pretty much gives up at 55 for power. Pull out to pass in the mountains and the best you get from there is 3rd gear so you may as well be dragging a log behind your car. Looks great. Mileage is okay. The noise! My word the noise! I can't wait to dump this car. 38k miles and it's the worst car I've owned, and I had a '73 Pinto Wagon!

Just turned 90K and still pleased. 2nd set of tires 3 weeks ago. If purchasing tires, buy same speed rating as original. 90% interstate driving is returning 32-34 MPG. Oil change by Maintenance Minder averaging 10K intervals. No issues and will probably drive to 200K. Brake pads front and rear once to date.
