Scotty, is a 99 Dodge Durango a good car? I told my mother no, but she want's to keep it since it's the only thing we got, but we've kept it since it's the only thing we got for maybe 14 years, it's just having things break here and there. The bearings go on it, the battery keeps getting drained, and the heater does not work. Many other things wrong with it other than that.

I would be surprised, if the new Accord's small turbo engines are able to come close to 250k miles, especially being as reliable and problem free as the former normally aspirated were. Of course, what does that matter, since we'll all be driving electric cars anyways. Another way to take the individuality, excitement, and wonder out of life.

Third reason is it depends on what you want in a car, for me I find Toyota's to be very boring😴 on the outside & dated on the insides. The driving dynamics when compared to a Honda or Mazda, the Toyota's are behind. If you're concerned about reliability, the Accord & Civic matches the Camry & the Corolla.

The old 4 cylinder 2.2 litre accord engine weighed 400 pounds, the 2016 Accord 4 cylinder 2.4 weighs 200 pounds. It was a Civic engine with bigger pistons.

I remember when people were complaining about the transmission on the early 2000's Accord. It was so depressing because I really wanted one when I got out of high school. Ended up with a 1992 that never gave me any problems and later an 05 that I still have.

THe 4 cylinder Accord runs better than the v6. If they got the 4 cylinder & added 2 pistons, it would blow your v6 off the road. The v6 is a heavt old design. Heavy engines dont run as good. The old 4 cylinder 2.2 litre accord engine weighed 400 pounds, the 2016 Accord 4 cylinder 2.4 weighs 200 pounds. It was a Civic engine with bigger pistons. The old engine was so large, that it forced them to squeeze in tiny transmissions that fell apart.

I bought a used 2011 Honda Accord ex-l with the v6 as well. I purchased it with 101k miles and currently has 108k. The only issue so far is my mechanic says there is oil seapage coming from somewhere. I think it is a small leak because when I check the oil it is full. The car has plenty of power and gas mileage is very good for a 3.5L. The only complaint I would have is that the interior is a little noisy when cruising on the highway. Great car for sure.

I am not a fan of the new 1.5 or 2.0 Turbos. They increase the engine internal pressure so much that the engine will not last as long. The 2.4 vvt seems to be the better choice for this generation Honda. I hope that Honda goes back to the non turbo engines.

[@AppleTechPro870]

@@mikenardozzi6989 I agree with the fact that 4 cylinder turbocharged engines on new accords have more power but one problem they wear out faster because there is to much power to the engine since they either 1.5L or 2L. I hate the fact Honda discontinued the V6 cars. Bigger engine can handle more power.

[@AppleTechPro870]

@@mikenardozzi6989 For the oil seepage. These engines have little issue with solenoid/spool valve on both side. Left and right. They tend to leak over time because the gasket cracks due to heat etc, which in most cars happen in 100k miles. And you also need to check the Oil filter housing gasket you might need to replace that. These are the common issues. I have replaced on mine and it is fine again. Make sure though to check left spool valve because it sits on top of the alternator and if it leaks it will damage your alternator and replace the gasket as soon possible.
