Used Honda Accord for Sale

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.

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.

At first, my Honda Accord did not give me any trouble. The only things that it required were it's regular scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, etc. After about two years of wear and tear on the vehicle (driving it 2 hours to and from my out-of-state school multiple times), different issues started to arise. Aside from those issues, which were never too big to handle and never required me to be without a car for more than a day or two, I was/am satisfied with this vehicle. I like the fact that it gets good gas mileage for a car that old, and I mostly like that it gets me where I need to go. I rarely worry about my car breaking down while I am driving somewhere like I used to in the past with other cars that I have owned. The reliability of this vehicle when it is properly taken care of is something that cannot be overlooked. The vehicle is 17 years old and still has no trouble driving long distances and keeping up with everything that I need it to. Overall, I am very satisfied with this make and model of car and the only reason that I am purchasing a new car is because I need a car that will drive well in all types of weather.
