Honda Accord

"Handling is outstanding: Normal and emergency."

"In this model you are NOT buried deep down in the seat, like most of the newer cars. Excellent vision of the road and your surroundings."

"Moderate acceleration. Handling is great. I like to feel connected to the road and not floating, this car does that."

"Acceleration is impressive. Feels very sporty and powerful. Steering is very crisp. Handles winding mountain roads easily."

"Comfortable ride."

"I like the four speeds and thee extra acceleration available by pressing pedal to the floor."

"It handles well"

"6 cyl. accelerates nicely when needed. The car is a pleasure to drive."

"That it is still running and it is responsive and handles well"

"This car is just fun to drive. It is easy to manage and still seems “peppy‿ ie: good acceleration."

"The 2.4L 4cyl with 4 speed auto transmission is responsive enough. I'm an average driver but do not hesitate to merge on metro traffic and the Accord will merge and run with interstate traffic just fine. I trust the car in this respect. Handling is not as crisp as earlier but still predictable and controlled."

"The 2000 Honda has stood up very well with very few problems for many miles. The only complaint is lack of heated seats. It Does get cold in Florida. Oh yes, the Canadian model of same car Has heated seats"

"I can't complain about an 18 year old car with over 175000 miles! It doesn't feel like a car with this much age and mileage. Styling looks contemporary. I feel my generation Accord is only behi d that of the 2003-2007 and 2018 generations. IMHO the 2008-2017 Accords took evoluy.tionary steps backward. The V6 is a fireball acceleration wise. Its best to use 89 or above octane gas and per my mechanic use Lucas Oil Octane booster at least once a month. Gas mileage is satisfactory. I get between 22 and occasionally as high as 28 MPG. My drivung is combined urban, and Interstate driving. I work at BWI Airpodt for Southwest Airlines and my commute is 25 miles each way gice or take. Electdically, there are some issues which are related to the driver side electric window/lock control module which would be over $400 to replace. Not worth the price for a car this old."

"Road noise due to drive train and suspension."

"This car has the perfect combination of engine to transmission. Acceleration is what I need when I need it and has smooth transmission transfer of power."

"Quick and responsive car."

"The anti-lock breaks have saved me more than once. Accelerates well when needed. Smooth ride."

"Very good acceleration with the V6 and smooth. Handling is really good but not as good as our 2015 Honda Accord."

"Handling excellent, acceleration good."

"It accelerates very nice and handle well"

"Average but with adequate acceleration."

"Climate control is the biggest problem--windows constantly fog up. The car does accelerate considerably well considering the size of its small engine. It also brakes well."

"It is "zippy" and quick, very easy to drive and get around tight places. I'm very comfortable freeway or city. I really do not like the initial reaction to pushing on the gas pedal. No matter how gently I push on the gas to get going, it lurches forward very roughly about every time I start off."

"When I got the car new, it had a very sweet torque response and 17 years later still exhibit this powerful acceleration. The ride continues to be above average even with all original equipment and no changes to any suspension parts."

"good handling, acceleration could be better, slower when AC is running"

"No complaints"

"Excellent acceleration and handling."

"V-6 has excellent acceleration and the Accord handles beautifully."

"Quick acceleration and clean steering. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The stock dual exhaust and mufflers have a throaty roar when you give it some gas."

"acceleration, handling, seating"

"Really enjoy the performance of the six cyl. engine on both city and highway driving. Handling is good."

"Bad: Accord has considerable road and wind noise. Good: Acceleration is good for 4-cylinder v-tech engine. Steering is a little better than average."

"The car holds the road and has quick acceleration. I've had a sometimes clunky response on acceleration as the gears change ."

"It has great acceleration with the transmission shifting smoothly through the gears. Handling is quick and responsive."

"great"

"Handled good and has great pick up."

"Vehicle transmits a lot of road noise into the cabin. We have the V-6 and it is responsive. Handling better than most but with a mediocre turning radius."

"Whether on the freeway or on city streets, these days you need an agile car - one that has pickup and quick acceleration so you don't get run down by speeding and/or impatient drivers. The Honda V-6 has good acceleration, and handles well during rapid acceleration."

"Absolutely LOVE the acceleration -- sound and feeling!"

"Keeps up with everyone on toll road. Doing 80 mph or more to do so."

"I've often heard the term "FISH TAILED" but didn't realize what it exactly meant. Averting a collision , I pulled a hard left then a quick right, continued down the road as if not a thing took place. Persons in other car cringed for impact left behind scratching their relived heads, as so myself."

"Its a very good comfortable car and drives well even though its gotten old. I would buy another one again"

"Love the way it hugs the road. Fun to drive and handles well."

"Drives and staylish"

"Ride"

"Car is comfortable, driver seat very adjustable, but car noise is bothersome: car does not seem to be insulated from road and wind noise as well as others."

"Is very comortable"

"Seats are comfortable and easy to adjust, noise level is low, and ride is smooth. In fact, the 2000 Honda Accord is a better quality car than the 2015 Accord Sport that I own."

"Top of the line model with comfortable leather seats."

"At 19 years, the Accord is an average ride. Seats are still supportive and the fabric is still in very good shape but road noise is becoming excessive."

"Good ride and excellent acceleration."

"It is an old car now but I enjoy driving it. It is quiet and handles well"

"The ride is what we expected when purchased."

"Excellent"

"Noise"

"Smooth, quiet, comfortable ride. Current day models can't match it."

"It has a very smooth, , quiet and very comfortable ride"

"I loved this car's interior layout. It Can accommodate a very tall person with ease. Very low noise level."

"The Honda is 17 years old but the seats are as comfortable as some new cars."

"The road noise is bad."

"Nice seats"

"2015 Pinion gear leaked and had to be replaced and, had to be replaced a second time due to a manufactured flaw and leaked. Other then that, a very reliable auto with no problems while on on the road."

"The driver's seat is more comfortable than newer cars. Newer car driver's seats try to roll you into a ball for safety, but that doesn't do my back any good."

"Has been the best car I have ever owned. I am approaching 200,000 miles and all I do is put gas in the car and drive. [plus oil changes]"

"The comfort is excellent. My next car will probably be a Honda."

"For the amount I paid, it is comfortable. Not much noise when riding, smooth, warms and cools quickly inside. Seats are comfortable (seats are fabric)."

"Very comfy for a height-challenged driver! The noise level on longer rides is problematic. The car is definitely not sound-proofed! I have been very happy driving this car and have no major complaints at all. I'd buy it again."

"There is a lot of road noise."

"Road noise is pretty bad somewhat due to poor new tire selection. But at 160,000 miles, the car doesn't owe me anything."

"Seats are uncomfortable"

"See previous response. Not many 2000 model year cars had navigation systems. Your survey did not allow for that so I answered "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied"."

"15 y.o. LX car seats have lost some cushioning. Some dash lights went out in 2010. Noise is dependent on tires chosen, my air is minimized as of last year -- $400+ to replace."

"Leather seats and smooth and comfortable ride"

"Road noise: the car is noisy...was from the beginning. This was our 3rd Honda when we bought it and was purchased because of the car's truly excellent dependability. Other brands have now improved, and we are not happy with the level of road noise that gets into the car. Thus if we buy another car, it will probably not be a Honda."

"Extremely good ride"

"I do not like the road noise"

"The car is hard to get in and out of."

"Honda has always had a road noise problem."

"The seats aren't as comfortable as they could be!"

"Good seating, climate control, and ride. But somewhat noisy. Some of the noise can be attributed to Michelin tires, however. Other than some wear and tear issues, this car is solid and a terrific value having lasted 152000 miles and is ready to go another 100000. Good maintenance by a competent mechanic is key."

"The ride is comfortable and quiet, but what is a miss is that the angel of the steering wheel generates a need to reach for it--it does not show up as a natural configuration relative to being seated and to driving in comfort."

"Power seat adjustments auto climate control"

"Just a great car- looks, operates rather over all satisficstion"

"This is a very dependable and economical auto. In18 years,we have never had a serious problem."

"With a little maintenance, it will take you anywhere you want to go very reliably. The V-Tec 6cyl engine is the finest I've seen in any non sports vehicle, fast, responsive and excellent fuel economy."

"Honda's will last for many, many miles if properly maintained"

"It has been a fairly reliable vehicle. In its "old age" we have had to replace the normal things (brakes, etc.) but we also had to replace the gas tank. There was a leak that Honda could not repair. It was fairly costly. Car rides well and handles well."

"It had many bells and whistles, V6engine for ample power, very comfortable seats with good range for electric seats, has run without major problems so far"

"Great car. Have owed this car for 19 years."

"It's been a very good car for us during the last twelve years There were few significant repairs, gas use is reasonable and super good when driving long distances, Engine response is superb or amazing for a little 4 cylinder machine."

"This model was packaged with many desirable features as standard, and the quality is excellent. All of this came with a very reasonable price. As you can see, the car has lasted 18 years and still operates well."

"I am very pleased that this car runs smoothly, quietly, and other then normal maintenance such as oil changes it has needed very little. Take off from a complete stop to 40/50 mph is slower then when new. Oh yes the sun roof leaked a bit a few months ago."

"The 6th generation Honda Accord, 2000 model year in my case, epitomizes reliability. It performs admirably after two decades of daily-driver'ing. In fact, this generation of Accord outperforms and out-lasts all generations before or since; indeed, thousands roll the roads daily. Routine maintenance--and zero accidents--staves off any major repairs (so far), though the transmission may be showing signs of impending atrophy."

"I've had no extra bills from this car. I like its appearance and handling. In 18 years it has been outstanding. I would only trade it if extra gadgets in the future make it essential to have (e.g. collision, etc gadgets)"

"Keeps on running, dependable."

"Bought new 17 years ago and it has been very reliable."

"Unbreakable car and awesome reliability if you put just alittle but of maintenance into it."

"I have had the Honda Accord and have been very satisfied with the performance of this vehicle."

"Fairly reliable over 250,000 miles. Spent about $4,000 for transmission and other repairs over the last 2 years. Hope to drive it for another 2 years and 20,000 miles."

"Great value, car will last forever."

"It has been incredibly reliable and still going after 240K miles."

"This car has been an absolute dream to own. Gas mileage hasn't changed since purchased new. And besides scheduled maintenance per manufacturer's recommendations, I have not had any major repairs needed."

"The car has been exceptional in value, very limited major issues other than an alternator. Maintainence Cost to drive was very low for the past 17 years."

"In 17 years and over 200,000 miles, the only expenses have been have been the cost of routine maintenance."

"good value great car"

"Long life with low maintenance. Value!"

"This is the best car ever, it has paid for itself over and over. Actually it's a 1999 model rather than a 2000. Although I don't drive it much anymore (mainly to transport the dog) I will hold onto it forever"

"I have driven 197000 miles without any Major breakfowns"

"Great car! I still love driving it after 17 years. Very comfortable and sturdy. I wish Honda made a car like the Mazda 5."

"Excellent value, many years of trouble free driving."

"MPG says it all, comfortable driving for a petite person- ability to view unobstructed view of road through rear view mirror. Charming, money saver, reliable"

"It has lasted 17 years with little or no above maintenance expense. Its reliability"

"what can you really say. Very reliable and it is almost 20 years old with no major issues. Great value and Great car."

"Solid construction and a classic style. Not too many bells and whistles to go bad."

"I've had Hondas since 1987...in that price range they are the best overall value I have found. They are sound and if maintained, they don't need much major repair. I've had this 2000 Honda Accord since 2005."

"2000 accord, has 182000 km total operating cost for 16 1/2 years, maintenance, tires, oil change $ 17,340.00 Can. needed new transmission 4 weeks ago $ 2.400.00 included in above"

"Low maintenance costs, still have the original exhaust system after 280k miles"

"very good quality"

"trouble free, gas mileage, performance"

"go for it"

"Change the oil, keep tires properly inflated, do routine parts replacement and these Hondas go on forever"

"Very reliable for price. It's what would definitely make me buy this car again. Had minimal problems with it!"

"This one has been trouble free. When it is time to replace it I will go to a Honda dealer first."

"I got a great price"

"Excellent value - for a 16 year-old, it's a stylish, reliable, comfortable, and relatively fuel-efficient vehicle."

"Love all points with car and if I were to replace I would buy another Honda, very reliable . But at my age I will not be [purchasing another."

"It provides enough protection on the road with other bigger vehicles."

"Dependable, durable, requires very little maintenance."

"You get a car that if maintained on a regular basis, will give you very few headaches and few problems. I bought my car in 2007 with 56k miles, it is now 16 years old with 213k miles and the only major problem was replacing the alternator. Yes, it has started to rust along one of the wheel wells, but I live in Iowa and we are #2 for the use of salt mixtures in winter, so rust after 10+ years is expected."

"The transmission failed and I was lucky enough to be included in the large class action lawsuit vs. Honda. There was also a valve issue that the Homda dealership couldn't figure out for over a year. $1,000's of dollars later a local mechanic was finally able to figure out the issue and fix it. My lil yard projects from this week! Door handle broke from normal wear and tear. Back of passenger seat fell off from normal wear and tear when only 5 years old."

"Bought used. Very good value. Reliable."

"My 2000 Honda has been very reliable, has needed few repairs, gives a comfortable ride and is still running well after 16 years."

"This car is great value for the money. Overall it has been a reliable car apart from transmission problems that were fixed. It is very quick off the mark. Fuel economy is good considering the way I drive it."

"Great dollar value, low maintenance and fuel costs."

"It ranks high in sturdiness, comfort, and economy, at a price that's moderate rather than high. "Champagne taste on a beer budget""

"Very high milage with few major problems"

"Transmission problem occurred at 280K miles. No major problems on this car related to engine or drivetrain. No electrical or AC failures. Routine maintenance only. Now the cost to repair exceed the value so will replace this car with another."

"1998 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder was the best car i wver purchased for the price. You cant come close to that value in new cars today."

"I have 318,000 miles on it and it still is going strong"

"Reliable and good long-term value"

"There was recall due to faulty electronics for dashboard, aND one side airbag, but otherwise worth the money."

"Overall low cost of ownership, few expensive repairs. With routine maintenance and some additional items being replaced occasionally the car still runs like new. My only complaint is the EGR port gets clogged due to the Ethanol in the California fuel, but it's not a big problem and is easily corrected."

"I am going into year 17 of owning this car and it is just a solid car. No major mechanical issues. Fantastic value if they are maintained."

"Excellent fuel economy"

"Honda makes great cars! Mechanics tell me that I can drive to 300,000 miles and I saw one with 420, 000 for sale nearby on Craigslist."

"The Accord is a 1997 not 2000 with over 260,000 miles and I have probable spent less than $600 in maintenance cost, not counting the usual oil, tires, battery and filters."

"The car is actually a 1996 model. I've loved the way it looked from the moment I bought it. I'd buy another one today if I only drove more."

"nothing"

"It looks good for an older car."

"good"

"THE PAINT JOB WAS TERRIBLE AND I NOTICE ALOT OF CARS SAME YEARS SAME PROBLEM"

"The paint job is a real miss. The clear-coat is peeling off, the paint is fading in places, and the car generally has not weathered well at all. I've noticed this on other Accords of the same styling."
