I told my mother no, but she want's to keep it since it's the only thing we got, but we've kept it since it's the only thing we got for maybe 14 years, it's just having things break here and there. The bearings go on it, the battery keeps getting drained, and the heater does not work. Many other things wrong with it other than that.

I would be surprised, if the new Accord's small turbo engines are able to come close to 250k miles, especially being as reliable and problem free as the former normally aspirated were. Of course, what does that matter, since we'll all be driving electric cars anyways. Another way to take the individuality, excitement, and wonder out of life. Already, most cars follow the 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 philosophy for color, being mostly shades of grey, inside and out. Sorry about that last part, but something to think about.

@melvindesmond2134 3 жыл бұрын

@@calvin9187 First reason is the Accord & the corolla isn't in the same class, the civic & corolla are in that class. Second reason is Toyota's aren't immune to reliability issues, like every car manufacturer they have their share of issues. Third reason is it depends on what you want in a car, for me I find Toyota's to be very boring😴 on the outside & dated on the insides. The driving dynamics when compared to a Honda or Mazda, the Toyota's are behind. If you're concerned about reliability, the Accord & Civic matches the Camry & the Corolla. I've owned 4 generations of Accord's and never had any major issues with them. Again it all comes down to personal preference, My wife also owned a Mazda 3 & a Mazda protégé and had no issues.

I just sold my 2002 4 Cyl Accord EX Sedan last weekend. I'd had that car for 15 years and loved it. The past 2 years my teenage daughter had been driving it. Zero issues. Only reason I sold it was because it was pushing 200k miles and was at the point where everything was starting to go. I nearly cried when the gentleman who bought it showed up to pick it up. And I won't lie, I've had thoughts of texting him and offering a refund plus some if he'd bring the car back. Watch some KZfaq videos of 6th Gen Accord Tributes and you'll see why. They look amazing right out of the factory, even better when you upgrade the headlights and wheels. Oh well... I digress. As for now, I'll keep driving around in the 2013 Accord EX Sedan that I bought 4 years ago. And my daughter will now enjoy her new 2013 Accord EX Sedan that I bought her.

THe 4 cylinder Accord runs better than the v6. If they got the 4 cylinder & added 2 pistons, it would blow your v6 off the road. The v6 is a heavt old design. Heavy engines dont run as good. The old 4 cylinder 2.2 litre accord engine weighed 400 pounds, the 2016 Accord 4 cylinder 2.4 weighs 200 pounds. It was a Civic engine with bigger pistons. The old engine was so large, that it forced them to squeeze in tiny transmissions that fell apart.

My 08 Accord has over 320,000 miles. Only thing I've replaced is the starter outside of routine maintenance. Yes initially it had premature brake wear on the rear pads but they fixed that by upgrading the pads. I love my Accord. It still runs like the day I bought it new.

Hi Scotty, I love your videos and the honesty & time you dedicate to educating driving enthusiasts and layman. I have had both 2005 Accord, 2014 Camry, and 2015 Accord. I loved the 2014 Camry V6. Sadly, it was totaled when another driver ran a red light. I am a big fan of the Accord, as well. It is sporty and I like the solid feel. The only thing I dislike on my used 2015 Accord is the paint quality. I see old Hondas on the road and they often have paint issues...as long as the car runs, I'm happy. I didn't choose to buy a BMW or Mercedes, I chose to buy a vanilla sedan that will be affordable to fix and provide YEARS of driving pleasure and safety.
