Used 2009 Honda Accord LX-P 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Proud to disappointed owner
Don’t plan on keeping this car forever. I was hoping this would be one of those cars that I could put at least 200k or 300k miles on. The truth is that it burns enough oil that I can’t make it to the mileage on the oil change sticker without running out of oil. I had some minor issues with corrosion on my cable that goes from the battery to the alternator. At 149000 miles the car has served me well. I have to sell it now because I don’t think it’s worth $2500+ to replace the motor.

I HATE THIS CAR!!!
I hate this car and this has been the worst car buying experience ever. My first car note and I'm so unhappy. This was my first "supposedly new" Honda. I had two in the past that were excellent. The brakes are bad, bad, bad!!! I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone!!! I participated in the class action law suit and received a refunds after having brakes changed four times. I purchased my car in March 2009 and I've spent entirely too much time the dealership and of course, brakes are not covered under the warranty. I'm so disappointed with this car and would like something else.

Seats are Awful
The seats are way too hard and the contour is not needed. I can't stand to drive or sit in this car, it is a PAINFUL experience. Honda doesn't care!
Poor Build Quality 2009
Brakes squeak from day one, transmission makes shredding, tearing noises when putting in reverse and then drive, headrest forces your head forward, when full gas tank sounds like a swimming pool sloshing around and already had a safety recall for poor build quality with "noises" coming from the back of the car. Road noise is horrible on certain roads. You still want to risk buying this car?? My last Honda ever!
Disappointed
We just returned from a 2,300 mile trip. We got 30.25 mpg which is what the sticker says. I also have a 2007 Chevrolet Impala with a 3.9L that gets 29.0 plus driving 27 miles each way to work. Not satisfied with the car. Lots of road noise, not a comfortable ride and less than expected gas mileage. I was told I should expect mileage in the mid 30's. Very disappointed after reading all of the Honda hype prior to purchase. Unless something changes, this will be my first and last Honda Accord.
