The interior of this car is what ultimately encouraged me to buy this vehicle. The color of the interior, peanut brown and black was very easy to keep clean. I also really liked the set up of the controls, and dashboard. They did not look too futuristic, but had a nice flow. There are many controls, and per my opinion much better than more expensive cars.
The performance of the vehicle was great! The Accord has a very smooth ride, while not using much gas. I found that the mpg did match up at about 25-30 on the expressway. This specific style (4 cylinder engine) did not speed up too fast, unless you used the auto shifter, in which case you could get up to a faster speed much quicker that just having it in drive.
The Accord has a lot of space inside the car and in the trunk. It fits all size people very well. I am short, and had no issues adjusting the seat to perfectly fit me. When having taller passengers, they often commented on how spacious and roomy the car was for them. There are many seat adjustments, to allow for a comfortable seat. I used the car one time to move to a new home. The seat folds down to be able to fit longer items, and the back seat can fit 6-8 small boxes.
I never had any mechanical issues with this car, and only needed to change the oil every 5,000 miles. Overall, this was a very reliable car and a joy to drive.

Issues relating to being 5 feet tall
I bought the Honda Accord because I was looking for a vehicle that I could feel safe in. I have a hard time seeing out the back of cars (I can see out of cars built in the 90s and before, but not very well out of lots of today's cars because the backs of them have been raised and the back and side back windows have been made very small. I live in a large metro area where I have to change lanes on interstates everyday so it took me a long time to find one I could see out the back of safely. Well actually, I never found one, but Honda made the Accord with the camera on the right-hand (passenger's side) window that allows me to merge without looking over my shoulder, so I bought it. I am very happy with this particular feature, and the car also has the backing up video feature - I like that too. Otherwise, I like it all the way around - It's my first NEW car, so I like that. There is one feature I don't like, which is the comfortableness of the seats, but I am living with it ok.

Reliable, maintenance free and comfortable to drive.
I purchased this Honda grey 4-door sedan when I obtained a license as a private investigator. I wanted a car that would not stand out in any way because I had to use it on surveillance assignments. It filled that bill very well, but it had many redeeming features as well. First of all, it was virtually maintenance-free. It has never needed a serious repair and over the years has required only regular maintenance check ups, new tires when necessary and once it needed a new battery. The car has plenty of room in the trunk and the back seats flop down to provide more cargo space in the interior of the car. There is also an opening between the trunk and the back seat that allows long items to be carried. The gas mileage, although not as great as some of the newer Hondas, has been OK. The car is comfortable to drive, has adequate pickup for normal usage and is fine on the highway. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the car except that it is bland. But bland is why I bought it, so I can't complain. Now that I no longer work as a P.I., my next car will have a bit more zip and much better gas mileage. I'm considering the Honda Insite (hybrid). Honda is definitely my car company.
