I've just purchased my mum's '98 Civic from her. 50,000 miles on it and it still drives beautifully. The only fault with the vehicle was the rear trailing arm bushes. The car has NEVER had a single repair other than that in its 24 year history. My Dad had two Honda Accords. The first one that he owned had 200,000 miles on it when he sold it. It still drove extremely well and it only fault in all that time was a fouled carburetor jet. The second one that he owned he sold with 100000 on the odometer and it never required repairs.

[@forfun6273]

Lol you still have another 300k on it. My mom has 290k on her 2014 and the only issue was a transmission rebuild at 180k because my dad never changed the transmission fluid. But I have a 2015 accord with 200k no problems at all. My brother has a 2016 with like 220. He’s had it since 140k no problems at all. Hondas are solid af. Only issue is the V6 that shuts off cylinders to save gas. But Scotty said if you disable that then they run like tanks. Besides the timing belt instead of chain.

What year? I really want an accord with this body type that has no transmission issues

[@KingdomAuto]

@@Fatkidlovecake They made that body style from around 2008-2012 I believe and they were all basically the same. Either came with the option of a 2.4L 4cyl engine or 3.5 V6. Both engine options were great, and the cars were very reliable overall. Just make sure to keep up on standard maintenance items and keep the oil topped up and they run for a long time. The 3.5 engines have a timing belt as opposed to a chain though so remember to change that + the tensioner at the recommended intervals as well. Hope that helps!!

[@qeetta92]

I think as an all-around winner, the best is Honda, simply because they have better-looking vehicles. At the end of the day, I’m gonna want something that looks just as good as it is reliable. And Toyota kinda drops the ball when it comes to design. I think they got too comfortable with having the most reliable vehicles and forgot to actually update and refresh the looks of their vehicles. The Prius is a great example of that. So if I had to choose between Honda or Toyota, I’m going with Honda just based on that alone.

Find a local shop to rebuild your oem cv axles versus swapping them...many driveline shops can do it...I found a local shop thinking I had to exchange but he said if you have the axles it's best to keep them ...was the same cost (for me) having them rebuilt $59 per side (couple years ago)

[@garyr7027]

To properly check a CV axle the wheel should be on the ground, and checked by shaking, turning and twisting on the axel itself, otherwise it's mistaken for driveline play coming from the differential. Another thing many overlook for wheel vibrations is break calipers, a caliper not releasing properly will create front end vibrations. I've seen calipers have just a slight grab to them and create vibration issues, and they'll do it worse once they warm up. I think you're right on this one though, those tires need replaced.

I’ve been driving a 2011 Honda Accord Euro (called Acura TSX CU2 in US) for 5 years and it’s been bulletproof. It has run like a dream and only taken to the mechanic for general servicing. Amazing sound system, coolest gauge cluster, sunroof, heated seats/side mirrors, useless yet cool headlight water jets. Not to mentioned it’s the best looking Accord to date. It doesn’t have bluetooth for music which is extremely stupid. The other downside is that VTEC engages at 5,700 RPM which makes the car’s 2.4l 4 cylinder engine sluggish for every day driving. Honda didn’t offer a turbo or V6 option either which sucked. Too bad Honda killed the Accord Euro in Australia. I would have bought the TLX. I’m switching to Toyota or Lexus for my next car since the Camry/IS350 offer V6 engines.

@@TC-cd5sm With all my other Honda Accords, which were manual transmissions, I bought better tires, because the originals wore out pretty quickly and I was a pretty aggressive in taking corners. My newest Accord is the 2020 Sport 2.0T 10AT and I'm not as aggressive in cornering as I was before. It think that it's partially because I'm not as adept at handling the paddle-shifters as I was with a stick, the wheel base is a tad longer, and the amount of low-end torque, kind of compensates for not "hitting the marks" in the corners the way I used to to get that acceleration through the apex. I am getting a better feel for shifting now, so my cornering might improve with a little more time. I'm not so worried about miles as I am about grip. I want lots of grip.

[@jamram9924]

@@mamaluigi2064 considering the longevity of these engines, it will be worth it. It is costly for that rear mount, but it’s much less than a newer car. Make sure your service your Honda transmission every 30,000 miles. I followed that advise form a senior Honda technician and haven’t had any issues with their transmissions. I’ve changed these mounts before and it’s believed the torque of that V6 under heavy acceleration is the cause. Honda came out with an update/reflash to remedy that issue. Consider checking if that update is still available through your Honda dealership.

All you have to do is look on the road and see what the most driven old cars are on the road. You still see 80's Honda's going strong and Toyota Camry's are everywhere

[@frankanderson4176]

I've had 4 Hondas ( 3 Accords, 1 Civic) and 3 Toyotas ( 1 Corolla, 2 Camrys & my 2019 Camry SE I drive now). Without any doubt, the Toyotas are better for longer life and dependability. Hondas are super strong but they're loud on the road and I've consistently had paint problems with them. Earlier years, those timing belts had to be replaced. Interior quality was less than what I found in Toyotas. Corolla (1981 liftback) performed flawlessly except for a water pump (cheap repair). 2011 Camry ran perfectly through 157,000 miles when I handed it off to my son. 2019 Camry SE is the best car for the money I've had; really strong, far better than any Accord. I've driven many higher-end American sedans over many decades being in medical sales covering multiple states and always kept a separate "personal" car. None of the American makes lasted over time. Hondas and Toyotas are both great but on a scale of 1-10, Toyota is better by at least a couple of points (in my humble opinion).
