Still going strong with almost 120,000 miles
I stand by my original review. This car has been very reliable with little to no trouble at all in 90,000+ miles since we've owned it. Brakes, oil changes, a battery and tires is pretty much all we've done to it in 6 years. Oh...and a tune-up (plugs, wires and an air filter). We would buy another Honda Accord tomorrow and highly recommend.

Excellent Car
I wanted to leave this review just let you know it's is very reliable and it is a best car to have. I got into a major accident 2 days ago. I was between 2 cars, I hit 1st car a little, but car behind me didn't hit the brakes and hit me and the 1st car again, but after all it happened Honda Accord was in the best shape of all 3 cars. The front of the car got barely damaged even though it was hit twice, of course the rear end was in bad shape. I have got very little injuries. After all it happened it stayed very stable and saved me.
'09 Honda Accord EX 5MT does everything well
PROs: - Excellent all around visibility - Very good reliability in Consumer Report's annual readers survey -IIHS Top Safety Pick - Very comfortable, spacious interior, and large trunk - Fun to drive with 5-speed manual transmission which improved both 0-60 acceleration by 0.5 seconds and average fuel economy by 3 mpg in tests by Consumer Reports - I've averaged 26 mpg - Good steering feedback, handling, and ride CONs: - Tire noise and road noise intrude into otherwise quiet cabin - Audio system's ability to group radio stations into folders by type of music is needlessly complex and I never use it

Nice car, great mileage, couple issues
Bought a new Honda with 500 miles (semi demo). I love the car so far. We've owned a 2003 Accord since it was new, 98k miles, and only had to replace the AC compressor(recently). This 09 is great, here are a couple issues. The brakes squeak! My dad's 08 does as well. Honda says it's the #1 complaint with the car and Honda Engineering is working on a resolution. The glove box does not line up correctly when closed. The interior noise level is a little high, especially the noise from the trunk area coming into the cabin. Other than that, it's an excellent car, tight build, great mileage, nice looks.
08 EX oil burner
Bought this in 9/08 and was in the shop constantly. My biggest concern was the oil usage, one qt every 1500 miles. Honda's official response after monitoring its consumption for 3 mo. was "as long as it didn't burn one qt every 1000 miles, it was normal". That's their official response, and that was not coming from the dealer, that was HONDA. Other concerns: one burned out cat converter, (daaa wonder why), 4 tires replaced due to vibration at hwy speeds, never did solve the vibration. 2nd gear syncros not messing without a grind and missed shift. (no it was not my shifting expertise, Honda) I was told by Honda that the oil burning would go away, maybe. Ya, right! I sold this gem 3 mo ago.
