Other than the notorious transmission issues that people report with this car, I love it. I purchased it used in 2009 with 47,000 miles on it. It now has clicked over 191,000 miles this week. Very minimal problems, just a few suspension things here and there aside from regular maintenance. The transmission does slip and shift rough, but this has made it 30,000+ miles with a bad transmission. And it's reliable enough that I am planning to replace a transmission in a car with this many miles. Yes, I am replacing the transmission. It is a Honda and I trust it to run at least another 50,000 miles. The $1,000 I'll spend doing the transmission is way better than buying something else that won't last nearly as long. And, the repairs don't outweigh the value in the first place. This thing has a trade in value of $2,500, even more for a private sale. It's not leaving anytime soon. When the engine goes I'll replace that, too. These things get over 300,000 miles easily, and I have no doubt this one can make it. Whether or not I will drive it that far is a different story, as eventually I would upgrade to something newer just for the newer features and comfort. As far as reliability, I'm not all that worried about it.

The 1999 Honda Accord is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It is a very reliable car. I have never been stranded and have had only minor upkeep issues. I take it long and short distances and have never had any trouble. It is also very comfortable and has ample storage space for a car. I take it on large grocery trips frequently and have never had an issue fitting everything in. It has long outlasted my wife's car. I also like the design. It's simple and sleek. The con I have is that for some reason there is a 10 year span of production with Honda's where the clear coat comes off and the paint job looks awful. Mine falls in there but since my car is white, it's not nearly as noticeable as it is on the darker cars. The engine and transmission still run very well with no issues. There are no broken accessories on the inside. All mirrors and door locks work like new. I would definitely recommend a Honda Accord to someone looking to purchase a car. I intend to upgrade to a newer one soon.
