Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler 2007 Honda Accord 2.4...what to be vary of?

Well Mr. Brat, you are the exception to the rule. (And very lucky) Here is a fun site!

+1 thumbs up for Honda.

For my next car, I would consider a Honda. My wife likes her 2002 CR-V; has about 120,000 km on it.

I am around 185,000 km on my 2001 Nissan Maxima.

The numbers sound so impressive in km, don't they?!

Thanks, good info. My Cirrus has the 2.5 engine. It's the 2.7 that has problems in this article, but it wasn't put in any Cirrus'.

One other thing I've had some problem with is transmission, but so far, every time it starts acting up, I just take it to one of those quick oil change places and have the transmission oil replaced, and I'm good to go. It's time for me to do this again.

According to Mark's math, you have about 2 miles on that thing!

The other thing I love about Honda is that 89% of what is sold here, is made here. (North America)

Joyce has a 2000 Cirrus. AND it started it's life as a rental. We really need to get her a new car, but she works half a mile away, so it seems there's always a different priority.

She works a half mile away and she drives a car? Life's too easy for that woman.

Wait, she's married to Mark, I take that back.

:runs away:

I think it's more the "NH Winter" thing (sidewalks are only starting to be clear of ice in the last couple of days)....plus she goes in around 5:30am and much of the year, it's still dark out.

She actually DOES walk when she can.

Either way, though, she only puts 4K miles on her car a year. Which is 762,000 Kilometers.

Honda cars are reliable, well built, dynamically virtuous (they accelerate, brake and handle well), have wonderful manual transmissions (best in the business IMO), are economical, ergonomic over achievers, use superior materials in the interior and are fun to drive.

Honda makes the best 4 cylinder engines in the business. They are smooth, powerful and love to rev.

1 Mechanical problem: AC failure on 83 Prelude. Replaced under warranty.

CHECK TIMING CHAIN MAINTENANCE.
Check Consumers Reports Reliability stats.

I think the person with the real job gets the real car.
