I have owned a ton of different vehicles (including Honda's and Toyota's). And I have settled down in Honda world, buying used Honda's all the time. By far better than GM or Dodge for reliability.

I'm up to 181,000mi on my 2006 accord (K24 with 5spd manual). Still running mint with basic maintenance. They really are great engines, I considered getting a '13 - '15 civic Si with the k24 but I'd rather see how many miles I can rack up on the Accord. The EX-L has all the creature comforts you really need, 34mpg highway on a good day, and a good old fashioned NA Honda engine with plenty of power. Doesn't get much better than that IMO. /rant

I love Honda’s too, my first car is a 95 accord I got for 500 bucks. (Timing belt snapped) got the head rebuilt and put her back together. Anyways great car no complaint with engine but I was dumb an my auto tranny didn’t like the 6k shifts. Wish it was a manny but the swap or the auto rebuild is the same price as it. Rip

[@_makosato]

​@@vern2k653 I love those 90s accords too. My first 2 cars were a 1992 camry (got for free with 240k on it, didn't run and my dad fixed it up) and 1999 camry ($2500), both manual. they were bulletproof cars but slow and not super comfortable. Then I had an 08 Legacy spec B for a while which was really nice but not something I wanted to keep and put miles on long-term. Then I got my accord which was kind of the best of both worlds, comfort/power and reliability. I had to have the 3rd gear synchro replaced around 150k but other than that it's just been regular maintenance and very minor repairs (window switch, o2 sensor, etc). I don't rev it to 6k though, I drive it like a grandma most of the time with the occasional 'italian tune up' lol.

My mom has had multiple Accords. When she took retirement, she would "commute" from St. Paul MN. to Tabernash CO. every other month to see my sister's and her grandson. A 2000 mile round trip, 6 times a year with side trips to visit a former neighbor in Idaho. Plus all the daily driving here in MN. ONE CAR had an issue with warped rotors pulsing the brake pedal. A non disabling failure in 4 cars and many 10s of thousands of miles of driving. She routinely got 35+ mpg on the highway. Her mid 80s Accord (not a sports car) would pull to 85+ in 3rd gear. I was impressed.

Didn’t have any reserve after that😂😂. That little car? Who needs reverse anyway! I beat it up. Even had a busted radiator for months during a hot summer, carrying gallons of water in the trunk and a couple bottles of that crappy radiator sealer I’m sure that knocked a few miles off the motor’s life. Once I swapped in a new radiator (easy job) it ran perfectly fine til I got rid of it. Gas mileage was excellent. I always got more than 30mpg, easily 40 on the highway I loved that car.
