by hondamaneh
May 18 '04 - Updated Jul 07 '09

Cons: Jerky transmission, Some ergonomic flaws, Dated materials, poor structural rigidity and poor ride quality.

by mezlax
Feb 07 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliability, fuel economy, ride, overall design.
Cons: Power window motor, exhaust rattling at 80k miles, brakes too small.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended, does everything well, no problems, a joy to own. After being around mine for years, 2 friends bought their own.

Purchased when new '96 Accord LX 4-cylinder. Served as a reliable everyday driver, long hauler on vacations, snow thrower in the winters, and about everything else in between. After 8 years and 135,000 miles, proved bullet-proof, but ultimately not ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great engine, interior space, handling

Jul 11 '01 - Updated Mar 31 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Looks great, excellent ride, great gas mileage.
Cons: 4 cyl. engine on hills, paint quality
The Bottom Line: A Honda Accord is a classy money saver and is good for everyone all around.

Sure, you may think re-sale values are high but when you think about it, this car is an all around money saver. In November (2000), I bought this car for $10,000. I got a special deal on it since the dealer is my friend. It was listed for $12,995. ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Well-built and good gas mileage
Cons: Not a pickup and one problem with windows.

My girlfriend purchased a 1984 Honda Accord LX sedan in 1989. It had 66,000 miles, and other than a necessary timing belt replacement it lasted as a reliable transportation vehicle until May 1996. Guess what type of car we purchased then? Yup, another...

1996 Honda Accord V-6

by Schneid
Aug 03 '99 - Updated Oct 06 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: great acceleration, very reliable
Cons: Honda never has rebates!

There is a big difference between a $12,000 car and a $22,000 car. That difference is well demonstrated by the Accord V-6. Sporting the same engine as the Acura Legend, this car has more than enough power, and comfortably drives 90 MPH on the...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: reliability, fit and finish, superior gas mileage

I bought my 1996 Accord in late 98. It has been, quite frankly, the best car I have ever owned.

Maintenance is minimal. Though I have yet to push my Accord to the maufacturer's allowed 7500 miles per oil change, I have not had to spend any...

Pros: great design, amazing performance, reliability, high resale value
Cons: too many out on the road

Back in 1986 my parents had a huge decision in front of them. Choosing the coveted Honda Accord or the Cutlass Sierra. At that time the Accord was establishing its rep, while the Cutlass offered more space and comfort. I was pulling for the more...

Now driving my third Honda Accord, I can say unequivocally, that this is the finest, most reliable automobile around. Comfort wise, small to medium size people will find it outstanding. The reliability is unequalled -- all you do is change the oil for...
