2000 Honda Accord review and buying tips

[@eddie1149]

Got mine about 2 weeks ago feels very reliable and solid. Glad I was able to find a stick shift, feels like I'm able to control and save alot more gas.

[@matthewbell9229]

I got mine around the same time its so fucking sporty fast and great on gas when you keep it in 3rd and 4th and keep it at 2500rpm or less

[@thatloudCG5]

As long as you're not in VTEC and also to the mat, you're fine. I've gotten great gas mileage in my 95 Civic when I'm playing it cool on the freeway. However, when cruising at triple digits with other enthusiasts or my crew, not so much.

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

you are lucky to have it. such great cars

[@LEFT4eV3r]

This car kinda guzzles gas fast when the VTech kicks in 🦵🦶

[@briansutton2176]

I have a Honda Accord 4 door vtec 4 cyl. And it's great. Doesn't smoke oil is nice and clear and ac works. Best sedan I've ever had.

[@joshmcallister4863]

I bought one of these 3 months ago. Standard too, and it is a whole lotta fun. I live up north but got an Arizona car that only had one winter up here and had to buy it. Has quite a few miles, but no rust, and feels brand new outside of being a lil noisyish on highway. Starts, drives, accelerates. First manual car, and couldn't ask for anything better.

[@matthewbell9229]

I have a silver one manual sunroof and I fucking love it

[@Ottonic6]

I like that... "a pair of 4", when talking about the price of tires. No disrespect, just notice that... Nice car! I have a 2000 EX coupe, and love it.

Do you still drive this car today? How is the air condition holding? Any problems with the transmission so far? I am about to acquire a 2000 Honda Accord from mom's old friend (just passed away) free soon. First, I didn't want to go for it and get another expense. Car has only 2447 miles on it and garage kept. But it is old of course.

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

viaexcellence only 2,447 original miles on it? Whattt!! Never heard of a Honda accord this year with that low of miles. That's gotta be the lowest mile accord I've heard of for the year in the country. Sadly, I sold it last year but after I put in a new clutch, tires and brakes the car was perfect and ran perfect. The manual transmissions on these model and year accords are bulletproof. If you go for an automatic, you may run into problems at one point since they are known for having to be rebuilt or replaced. Stay with a manual transmission in this body style Honda and you will be grateful for having such a reliable car

[@viaexcellence]

This one has an automatic transmission. She was 93 when she passed away. She really never drove that car. I had to buy a battery tender to keep her car's battery charged all the time. Before this car, she had a white 68 Mustang at less than 7K miles on it. When she went to the dealer for a trade in, they couldn't believe in their eyes for that low mileage.

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

viaexcellence that's absolutely amazing man. I can't believe that low of mileage. Very rare to see that. That's going to be an amazingly reliable and good car. You Re lucky

[@phynod1]

Hey getting one of these as a first car - it’s automatic transmission though. 107k mil. What do you think ?

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

These cars are great first cars and lots of fun to drive. I personally would get one with the manual transmission. The automatic transmissions in these cars have issues. Not only that, but driving a manual transmission for your first car will make you a more skilled driver

[@ThreeNTheMornin]

I'm jealous, you have a beautiful accord. Glad it went to an owner who seems like will take care of it instead of an idiot who would put ghetto rims on it

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

I definitely got lucky with this one. Just put a new clutch kit and flywheel on it, drives perfect. I wanted to get some nice acura or honda 16'' wheels on it but it is hard to find anything like that because the wheels are 4 lug and the wheels I want arent. I'd have to go universal lug but then they aren't nice stock wheels.

[@ThreeNTheMornin]

The Daily Driver that's awesome, I was gonna suggest the 05 Acura TL rims but then I remembered those were 5 lug too. I have a 2011 Accord V6 coupe but with the automatic transmission. However I'm currently saving up for either a 93 Accord, 96-97 accord, or 98-01 Accord all required to have a manual transmission and be coupes as a project car that I want to restore to factory condition.

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

Ya i just wish there were more stock wheel options in the four lug pattern. I dont know if you have looked at them, but the 2002 is the last body style in this car. I've been looking for a 2002 honda accord coupe 3.0 v6 6-speed manual black with black leather. I have been unsuccessful so far. I highly suggest this vehicle.

[@ThreeNTheMornin]

The Daily Driver yeah I know 2002 was the last year and the reason you can't find any V6 manual 6th gen accords is because the V6 only came with the automatic for that generation. You can only get manual for the 4 cylinders, 2003 was the first year of V6 coupes

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

no, there are v6 coupes made between 2000-2002 that are 6-speed manuals. they are just super rare to find. I've only ever seen a handful for sale.

[@AfroPower28]

I’m never getting rid of this car , my 2nd daily driver , I got an automatic but I take care of it

[@luinavarro1546]

Any tips? Im looking into getting an Automatic

[@AfroPower28]

Lui Navarro Sure bro ! make sure it has low mileage ( preferably under 80,000 miles or less ) , check the battery, this car got some electrical problems & brake problems , get the car fax before you purchase one, they’re very reliable & GREAT on gas !

[@MauriceChase]

this reminds me of the Camry 97-01 especially the dashboard it's like they had to copy from Toyota seeing as though how dope the 97-01 Camry was. I'm getting this instead of a 02' Camry but right now i own a 97' Camry

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

The toyota camry and honda accords are both great vehicles in their own unique ways.

[@cooldd463]

I have one of these and a 96 camry. They're both great cars. Both have been beaten on before I got them and they're still perfectly fine. Hell, my camry runs like it's brand new

Watch the transmission! Honda Accord / Acura TL transmissions around this time frame were trouble prone.

Quade Smith not even the slightest. As long as it has been decently maintained it will go for a very very long time. I would have someone check the car for you if you are not sure what to check for mechanically on the car to make sure it doesn't need a heap of work done to it.

[@ThomasFromTN]

Wasn't it the V6, not the 4 cylinder (How come it's not called a V4?), that was more prone to the automatic transmission issues on this Accord?

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

the auto trans in general on these cars had issues. it's not called a v4 because the engine isn't a v engine, it's an inline 4 cylinder engine

[@mongolchiuud8931]

John Bling......because a 4 cylinder isnt configured in a V shape like most V6 engines. lol

[@cooldd463]

I have a green 4 door with an automatic and I love it. It's had a few mechanical issues, but that's to be expected when you buy a police auction car. I have nearly every problem sorted out and the motor's solid. It has 172,000 miles on it

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

That's a nice car. Is it the 4 cylinder or the V6? How is the transmission on it? I know the automatics have had issues with the transmission.

[@cooldd463]

the daily driver thanks. Mine has the 4 banger with vtec (f23a1) and the transmission's held up well so far. I'm pretty sure the transmission issues were mainly on the v6, but I'm swapping in a manual if I ever have trouble with the auto. I'm not really a fan of its shift points and I'd like to be more involved in driving the car. How are the manuals that they came with?

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

Honestly, I never had any issues with the vehicle other than having to replace the origional clutch and flywheel at 165,000 miles. The gearing ratio was not an issue, the car drove perfect and no issues. From reviews and experience with the automatic and manual, the manual gets better gas mileage and the transmission lasts a lot longer, but I totally agree with you about driving the automatic, its a great car especially in the 4 banger. Have you had any mechanical issues yet?

[@cooldd463]

the daily driver a fair bit, but it was a police auction car and has 172,000 miles on it, so that's to be expected. I've been using it to learn how to work on cars. I did a bunch of preventative maintenance and have been trying to make it into a solid daily. It's mostly dead reliable, now

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

Awesome man. The truth is any used car is not perfect and there is much you can do to to make your car a better daily. Even though the car was police auctioned doesn't matter much in the sense that it is a reliably made car and has many years of life in them. I used my Honda for the same reasons you are doing, I did work on it and made it a perfect daily driver.
