Honda Accord Story - 1,000,000 Million Mile Honda

Joe LoCicero reached 1 million miles in late 2011. Honda gave him a blue 2012 Accord and threw a parade in his honor in the town in Maine where he lived. He kept his million mile Accord. Joe passed away in July, 2016.

That's what happens when you take care of a car properly! It is mint though considering the harsh climate up there!

[@Akus75038]

Little bit too mint if you ask me. Especially when you drive that many miles....

Akus probably got it rust proofed.

[@ft9kop]

Probably washes the body and undercarriage often

[@crxdelsolsir]

Not just any car as some have engineering/ design and material flaws but yes alot of cars can live longer than what we are used to seeing, particularly Honda. Honda of this generation can last not only your driving career but many generations driving career if handed down.

[@Skelpolu]

My Ford Fiesta mk6 from 2003 is on their 61930th mile exactly today - people like Joe make me want to maintain my car as much as possible, and so far, the Fiesta is in excellent condition! No significant rust, regular oil-changes, new waterpump and cambelt just recently. If anyone has got tips on how to get a couple of more miles out of it, I'd love to hear your replies. :) Wish me luck!

[@Ch4wsVirtu3]

When you start up your car make sure to wait 45 seconds to 1 minute before you drive or rev it. The most damage occurs to an engine on start up because the engine is not fully lubricated with oil for the first 45 seconds to 1 minute.

[@mingyang1798]

Honda's weakness are their AUTOMATIC transmission. Their Manual trans are second to no one.

[@Pogo-A-Gogo]

+Ming Yang *none

[@mingyang1798]

lol! I love Honda too but even Honda know they don't make the greatest automatic transmission.

[@jeffbarton3353]

Ming Yang amen to that that! Love my hondas but i wouldnt touch an automatic with a ten foot pole

[@MiguelJW]

Ming Yang just change the transmission oil every 5 years and you're good

[@oldtwinsna8347]

5 years? You need to do a drain/refill every oil change cycle. Honda autos do not use planetary gears as found in other makes. The system relies heavily on oil pressure so once the chemical composition changes every so slightly, this is where the failures start.

[@bilgetonyukuk5530]

toofine9 Look the civic 06 with 1.000.000 km

[@VintageCars999]

I have a 2000 Grand Am which has almost 100k and did an oil analysis and the engine is running perfect. Changed the oil at the timed intervals and while had some minor issues with the car it still works as good as the day i bought it. Not sure what kind of problems you're having but if you are driving cars with previous owners that may be a dead giveaway that some previous owners treat their cars like junk. If you are buying new, well i don't know what to tell you but i'd maybe try to find a different mechanic because i don't think your current one is honest.

[@HondaAccordguy05]

toofine9 WOW that is great mileage for a 2000

The 90s was hondas best decade for making cars. Just goes to show that they dont make em like they used to. Epa regulations and that bs means that vehicles wear out faster. This epa thing supposedly saves the environment. i beg to differ. keeping cars for 100k miles and scrapping them causes far more pollution than keeping a car going for 500k miles in the long run. I think it should be illegal to scrap 80s and 90s hondas for this reason. they just keep tickin along

More like 100k to 200k but it's the Americans that don't take care of their American cars, people drive them until something goes wrong with it and i've seen many that will just add oil instead of actually doing an oil change. It's not surprising that a car can make it to a million miles if it's well taken care of.

But sadly after driving 10 mins the transmission is starting to slip especially when it’s 90 degrees outside here in New Jersey. The auto transmission just goes bad when you don’t maintain and if you live in very hot conditions . Hondas make decent autos , they seem to be very sensitive to fluid breaking down .

320,000 mile prelude owner here. This is only possible with deep pockets or you doing bulk of the labor yourself. Example: I had a complete ac failure. ECU was bad, (requires new immobilizer.) Compressor was shot. Leak from ac expansion valve. Receiver Dryer was bad. It would of cost the dealer if they source the parts, about 3200-4000.00 dollars. DIY 550.00 in parts, the only thing I am unable to do was reprogram the ecu with the New immobilizer. So 500.00. Still Im only paying 25-30 percent of what you would paid to fix the ac myself. Could of Done it a lot cheaper if you don’t mind having a car with immobilizer disabled (strongly do not recommend.)
