I purchased my Honda Accord in 2003, so it was a used car. However it only had 36,000 miles on it and seemed well taken care of. It was a Honda Certified vehicle, so we felt confident that the car would last us for many years. The car had a perfect paint job, the interior was nice and it drove really smooth. The light tan interior is the only thing I disliked about it, because it showed any dirt or spills, and with kids, that is something to consider.

The moment I saw it in the lot, I knew I wanted it. There were some last minute financing issues that almost made me walk away from it. But luckily, the dealership pulled through and knew I wanted this car, so they worked with me and they made it happen. I liked the color. I liked the interiors. Sure, it didn't have nay kind of fancy radio/camera, but it had what I needed. I bought it right before starting school an hour away from home, and it did great during those first two years. I really put it to the test. It was a one-hour commute, with traffic it was almost two hours, 65 miles each way. The car was great on the interstate. It had speed, power and control. The safety features for when the road was slippery was peace of mind. I put a lot of miles on it, and it never gave me any trouble. The first big expense was the tires, which I had to replace because of those two years of driving. There was also construction in the interstate so they wore down quicker. I also loved that no matter how hot it was outside, its A/C system was and still is (six years later) super effective. I really have no complaints about this car. To this day it hasn't given me any headaches. I have done many drives with it. I did a 350-mile trip to the other side of the state once, and I could have never felt any better driving it. I love my car, and I will drive it until it tells me no more. I have no intentions of getting a new one. It may have 135,000 miles, but it runs like it only has five!
