My 95 accord coupe is at 168k miles and still kicking 20 city mpg.
I love curves and the mofo drives the curves well enough to make them fun

The Accord is well-designed. Inside, it looks like a high-end car. Especially if you get leather seats.
Honda engines are great. Two major reasons I went with an Accord over other similar sedans in its class are the engine and the suspensions.
My car has been abused, though. In 6 months, it has traveled over 23,000 km. I got into a small fender bender. I've had one instant where the wheel was literally bent due to a large pot hole on a road whose speed limit is 100 km/hr. I've had another instant where two big nails completely devoured my tire. Generally, the roads are terrible here... pot holes, peaks and valleys, etc.. I'm worried about fatigue with the suspensions and tires.

I respect Honda and I love what Honda used to be. Today? Honda is really boring. I have a Hyundai Sonata and it hasn't given me any signs of trouble in over 4 years when I bought it. The new Sonata is gorgeous, both versions of the Genesis are stunning, the Veloster is unique.
Toyota is boring too but has a sports car en route. Nissan is about to make some moves and at least has the Maxima. Fords and Chevys are becoming pretty desirable and appealing, from the Cruze to the Explorer.
What the fuck does Honda have? The boring Civic, which will be replaced by another boring Civic, the CR-Z (DISASTER) and the Accord? They really need to get their act together (won't even get started on Acura). Safe and reliable isn't something only one company provides nowadays. Hot designs & competitive offerings or go away. I'm not saying that any Honda owners shouldn't be proud of their cars but as a company Honda really needs to wake up or fall behind. Competition is really heating up.

My neighbor has a black 06 Accord. I think that car looks pretty timeless and clean. I really like it.
Also - manual transmission ftw.

Every single car I have ever owned has been a Honda.
As for the claim they are cheap to buy, yep, they are and they are extremely dependable.
Love 'em.

They recently said that they will continue with the next NSX. They stopped because of the financial crisis.OuterWorldVoice said:

Hondas are ugly though. Most cars are unfortunately.
Pretty much the only decent looking cars are made by Audi and occasionally Lexus.

Went from a Volvo S60R (intake, dp, exhaust, suspension, and upgraded ecu) to a Honda Fit...aside from surprising the shit out of S4 and M3 owners with the S60R, havne't regretted the change at all...the S60R was a drivetrain nightmare...
Edit: oh and the seats...S60R had THE most comfortable seats I have EVER sat in...made driving 500+ miles on some days a pleasure.

Mercedes doesn't have a very good reliability record.
My BMWs have never given me any issues.
Edit: and no commentary for Rolls Royce? ;-)
Also, I've always wondered...what attracts people to the Subaru brand over other brands? I've never really understood it and don't know any Subaru owners to ask.

Same here...I love me some Japanese automobiles.
Recently had to get rid of my '95 infinity J30 (which i miss so much... no payments was nice). Unfortunately my J30 started having a lot of transmission/engine problems @190K miles, the interior was falling apart, and the radio started crapping out... that was the worst. I stay in Miami so driving is a must and with no radio, it's torture. Not only that, your car is kind of like a moving home pod where you spend time commuting to work, school, extracurricular activities, etc. SO your ride must be comfy, reliable on gas mileage (fuck me, $3.50/a gallon REGULAR right now), and inexpensive to maintain. So I'm totally loving my 2006 Accord. The only thing that I really wanted to upgrade from my last car was an AUX input so that I can plug my phone/iPod and stream music through the stereo...
Anyone got any suggestions as to what can be done??? Please help!

Anyone who says a Honda is boring hasn't really driven one of their faster models - the feeling when vtec kicks in is simply incredible.
I had a '94 Prelude VTiR for a few years. I used to drive it hard (RPM > 7000) pretty much every day, and I never had even the slightest mechanical problem with it. It also had 4 wheel steering, a sunroof, and probably the coolest dashboard I've ever seen in a car.
Damn, I really miss my Prelude

86 Mercedes 190e lasted to ~250-280k miles before heading to the junkyard, with a water pump being the only big maintenance/part in 8 years of ownership. While still managing ~25mpg.
Any car can be reliable and any car can be troublesome. I'd rather run cars I find interesting and take care of them than buy something because I don't want to think about it. Though I am a car lover, so meh.

word. horizontal engine, eh? I'm gonna have to read up on them. It's just that they're so rarely talked about or driven in any of the cities I'm in on a regular basis.doitlive said:

my very first car was a 2000 Ford Focus. It lasted me 100,000+ miles in northern weather without any issues. just normal maintenance and that was that. the car is still going strong, though I don't own it anymore.
Not shocked at all to see Chrysler last. My dad had an Avenger for 4 years. Tons of issues. Seat split. Radio was constantly messing up. Lights wouldn't work right. CD player wouldn't read CDs. Aux jack was all wrong. Locks were a hassle. Performance issues. Constantly clearing all the pre-sets/radio settings etc. What a pain in the ass. It was a work car, had the option to buy it dirt cheap when the lease was up and we didn't. That's how bad it was.

becuase you can get a 2/3 year-used low-ish mileage (25k-35k miles) Z4 for about $25k.
