2013 Honda Accord - 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.

There is one feature I don't like, which is the comfortableness of the seats, but I am living with it ok.
Look, what do you want from me. I drive to work, I drive home. That's fun to me, ok?

- Camera that allows me to back up without craning my neck
- Extra wide side view mirrors help me see out the left side easily as well

2012 Honda Accord - GREAT VALUE CAR
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.
I was picking up some friends from a concert. There was 4 of them in addition to myself. They had coolers, folding chairs and backpacks with them. I was picking them up from a busy street, and they had to load in the car quickly. The size of the Accord made it possible for them to throw all of the gear they had with them quickly in the trunk without organizing it to fit. Then they all jumped i... (more)
I was picking up some friends from a concert. There was 4 of them in addition to myself. They had coolers, folding chairs and backpacks with them. I was picking them up from a busy street, and they had to load in the car quickly. The size of the Accord made it possible for them to throw all of the gear they had with them quickly in the trunk without organizing it to fit. Then they all jumped in the spacious car easily and we were on the move! Don't think we could have done this so quickly in a small car.
My favorite feature was heated seats. With leather seats in the winter time, it can often be cold. The seats heated up very quickly and did not get too hot making it uncomfortable.

The acceleration was not that great, but that was to be expected with the 4 cylinder instead of the 6. However, if you wish to have a little better acceleration, you could do so by using the trip shifter.

2000 Honda Accord - Reliable, great to own.
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 ... (more)

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.
I see a lot of people driving the same vehicle, and we always wave to each other when we drive by! This car has also come with me to many, many important events and places and it will always be a large part of my life.

My favorite thing about this vehicle is that I feel safe driving it. I know that when I am driving kids to and from school I don't have to worry about something going wrong and I know that it will get me from point A to point B without an issue. Another pro of my Honda Accord, which is another one of my favorite things, is that it gets very good gas mileage. I find myself spending roughly $30 every 7-10 days, which I think is very reasonable for someone that drives a moderate amount. Although the car is older, it still has modern features that I was not expecting when I purchased the vehic... (more)

Although the car is older, it still has modern features that I was not expecting when I purchased the vehicle. These features include a sun-roof, and cruise control, among other things. The car is very easy to keep clean and maintain. Since it is an American-made vehicle the cost of repairs in the event that there are any is not very expensive, which makes owning it that much easier. I would definitely recommend this model of car for someone who wants an affordable, reliable, and good-looking vehicle that will last them many years to come.
I think that the worst thing about my Honda Accord is the fact that it does not have all wheel or four wheel drive. I would find myself in situations where I was unable to go somewhere or had to be given a ride by someone else because the Accord does not have the four wheel/all-wheel drive feature available. I am from New England, and often am in situations where I need to go out, but it's snowing. If I could change one thing about this vehicle it would be that. Another con of this vehicle is that it is very small. I often have trouble seeing past the cars driving in front of me because I ... (more)

Another con of this vehicle is that it is very small. I often have trouble seeing past the cars driving in front of me because I am sitting so low to the ground, even with the seat adjusted. I am not a very tall person, but I also have found myself with my head touching the ceiling when I drive. That being said, having more space inside the vehicle would be helpful as well. I know that when taller people have sat in my car they have had trouble getting comfortable. Another con of this vehicle is that it does not have rear air conditioning. As I said, I live in New England and the weather is very unpredictable. One day it can be 80 degrees and the next could be snowing. This car is not very well equipped to deal with those extremes in weather.
