2009 Honda Accord - What can I say, she was my first love, the first car I ever owned, and we had some good times together.

I've had my car to the dealer a few times for rattles. Some were fixed, some were not. The wind noise at highway speeds isn't loud enough to make conversation difficult, but it is too loud for a car that costs this much. I do like the ergonomics for most of the controls. Except, the auxiliary port is inside the center console, under a removable tray, and behind a spring loaded cover. You cannot plug in your MP3 player to this port safely while driving, as you can't clearly see what you're doing, and you need two hands due to the spring loaded cover--poor location. The technology items (Bluetooth, navigation, voice recognition) all work well, with no major glitches. No Homelink available except in the V6 package, which is pretty ridiculous. The car rides decent but can be a little ... (more)

Pros

The usual specs. Automatic. Four cylinder. Aluminum-alloy engine. Over 160 horse power. Mean-looking body. Nice trunk space. Interior was good enough. Adjustable front seat belt anchors. Brake assist. Emergency trunk release. Performance was good.

Cons

Interior layout of console is not practical. Rattling noise in right front panel and near back speakers on bumpy roads. Rear brakes wear out far too early. Front seats are incredibly uncomfortable. Head rest/restraint is angled too far forwards and can cause neck pain if you're taller than 5'2". Rear deck rattles due to utilizing cheap plastic to connect the deck to the metal frame with no buffering.

2000 Honda Accord - A gas-guzzling tank.

Before purchasing the car, I really liked the look inside and out. The profile of the car looked somewhat aggressive but also classy at the same time. The wheels weren't "fast and furious," but they also weren't boring old hubcaps like my previous Honda Civic. I was impressed with the interior leather, wood grain center console, built-in CD player, sunroof and all electric door locks and windows. It felt like a major step up from my older Civic. Once I drove the car, I could immediately tell the difference in power from my little four-banger Civic I had been putting around in. It was refreshing to not have to floor it in order to make it up long steep grade hills, and the power steering felt way better than what I had been previously driving with, so, overall, that's what sold me ...

Story

I had a coworker roll down the passenger window about 30%, and for some reason, he rested his arm on the window. No idea what he was thinking/doing, but I still blame him for the motor burning out.

Pros

As I've driven the car over the years, I can't complain too much about the overall reliability. I'm not a heavy driver, but I also don't baby it. I haven't had many major issues outside the routine maintenance. I was concerned that all of the electronic equipment would come back to bite me as they systematically failed one by one, but, so far, the only thing I've had to replace was the motor on the passenger side window, which would only roll up about 95%. The car definitely lives up to the Honda name in terms of reliability.

Cons

The six cylinder definitely guzzles more gas than my previous four-cylinder Civic. My commute no longer includes highway driving, so I'm suffering with a 14-18 miles per gallon through the city. When I was driving highway, it wasn't that much better at 20-22 miles per gallon. Comparing that to my old Civic which routinely got 28-30 miles per gallon. Aside from that, there have been a couple of annoying things I wish I knew before I bought the car. One was the transmission recall, which mine was taken care of before I bought it, but had I known beforehand, I probably would have gone wit... (more)
