2012 Honda Accord is a good solid car performing well on trips or around town. Very comfortable interior. Hard pressed to find any complaints with this car, and would highly recommend it. Dealer support is very good, and accommodative.

It was a lot larger than I expected and very difficult to get into the garage . Otherwise performed beautifully until I sold it at 132,000 miles. Never burned any oil otherwise mechanically outstanding. Ride was a bit stiff but handling was outstanding .

I will be short and sweet. I bought the car with 44,000 miles off a Honda Lease and by 50,000 miles I noticed a power steering leak. I found the power steering rack was leaking. I tried to get it covered by Honda of America but they would not pay for it. I just replaced it for $900 because I was sick of the oil spot in my garage. I also had the wire recoil break in the steering wheel and lost all controls on the steering wheel and I am assuming I lost my airbag as well until its fixed. Honda of America again denied my claim as I figured this is a defective part. So I will be without airbag until I cough up the $500 to repair it. This is all under 65,000 miles. At this rate, I will have to spend $1400 every 3-5 years to replace these items if Honda is saying they werent defective. I am switching to Toyota. My parents also had issue with their Honda Odyssey and Honda of America would not cover a defective transmission for them.

I have put 78k trouble free miles on this car since I bought it brand new. I do my own engine oil and transmission oil changes. I live in a hilly area so I put new rear brakes on at about 65k miles. One of the tires had sidewall damage so l replaced them at 75k miles. The tires still had tread left. The car handles well, but the suspension is firm so if you drive on bumpy roads it will give a rough ride. The four cylinder engine is smooth and quiet in every day driving, but will accelerate hard if you put your foot to the floor. This is the last year of the five speed automatic transmmission. I like the firm seat foam but the fabric could be better quality. I get 35 mpg going 70 mph on long trips, and I get 25-27 in town. I did make a 5 hour trip on state routes with a 55 mph speed limit and I got 42 mpg! This car looks good and is a great value. Comfortable for four adults. It has a huge trunk.

This car is great for the family. 5 star safety rating and very good reliability rating. I had this car for 6 years now and have not had 1 breakdown. Did have to replace front wheel bearings at 105,000 miles though. I Have changed rims and tires for lighter ones and now getting 28 mpg on average going to work and around town. All electronics still working fine and still no rattles. I chose this car because it does not have Direct Injection and therefore less problems to deal with later...AKA carbon builup and high pressure fuel pump going bad. My only complaints now is trim on outside windows are falling apart,roof liner glue has failed and the car seats are on the firm side. REPLACED STARTER AT112.00 MI(es NOW AT 160,000 MILES )
