I purchased my accord in college after my previous vehicle finally stopped working, and it was a great decision. With over 225000 miles and counting the Honda accord is still going strong and doesn't seem to be degrading. The interior has seen better days with some sun damage but overall its lasted through all the elements. Every winter I take it up to the mountains to hit the slopes and I haven't had any problems. Finding snow chains has proven semi difficult but nothing a quick look on amazon or eBay can't fix. Trunk space is also something id like to improve on but that just comes with the territory of an accord of the model year I have seen recent models out there that are quite impressive. The accord does well on long road trips which was surprising to me I first didn't believe a sedan could make such long trips and be comfortable as well. Maintenance not including the routine oil checks and tune ups is virtually non existent. I did have to get the transmission redone but only due to the previous owner having some questionable driving decisions.

I loved that the car is very reliable and good on gas. It is always there and worked no matter if the weather is hot and cold. The parts that I needed to buy for it were always cheap. It even got into an accident and was salvaged and still ran fine after that. I bought the car pretty cheap so it was a great value and paid for itself. Some of the things I dislike about it was that the air conditioning did not work that well and I had some problems with the transmission. The car also had an alignment problem that was unable to be fixed. Because of that my tires wear quicker than usual. Also it had a problem where the engine would shut off randomly without warning while driving. That was dangerous but I was able to get that problem fixed for a cost. I also didn't like that there was an oil leak that I still have, and some of the engine stuff wears out quickly. But one of things that I liked the most was that it was comfortable. Also, the car is able to carry up to 5 people which was valuable. I thought the wheels on the car made it look sexy and was sporty for a cheap and reliable car. The engine always performed well besides some transmission jumps and was even able to take it into the mountains on steep slopes no problem.
