handling, design, style, value

Cons

power, space, sound

96' Honda Accord — An accord is a great vehicle, its safe and has very responsive handling. I love having a five speed again. The car has average power but is still quick enough to get through traffic. It has no problem cornering or hugging the road. I also love the interior styling and design.

lack of power but its a 4 cylinder n

Lil Honda — wont die no matter how hard you beat it as long as you take care of basic maintence. Could use more power but it is only 2.2 4 cylinder not every expensive to maintain good gas milage Can be fun in the winter time or if you drive crazy. Good care if you need a get around town and long trips very reliable. Not a stunning car but it aint ugly either

Gas and Durability

Brakes and Air Bags

Accord — A nice little 4-cylinder. It was my mother's. She drove it to work and back on a pretty far commute and it lasted a while. It was in an unfortunate accident, and kept my mother fairly safe only resulting in two fractured bones. The Airbags and brakes are the only downfalls to this purchase.

GREAT gas mileage. Runs on regular.

Cons

Plastic parts break easily.

It Was Worth It Back Then, But It's Crap Now. — Bought it new... in a champagne color. As you can see, it's silver now. 3-4 crashes and it's still not so bad. We left it a month on vacation in freezing weather and came back, and still started perfectly. Wheels are ugly. Plastic parts break easily (headlights, window motor, fake wood trim).

Gas mileage, big trunk for all my sports equipment, and a back seat.

Cons

It blends in with the crowd.

Gets Great Gas Mileage — Started driving it when I realized that I was spending over $500 a month on gas. Now I spend about half that. Its not a car that turns heads, but its a car that gets me to work, school, the bar and back without any problems.

Keeps going and going like the Energizer bunny.

Styling a little dated. Not enough horse power. Crappy brakes.

Liked My Ex-r More. — My wife bought this car before we met. I had a 94 Accord EX-R which ran better and was quicker.

Internal Lasts Forever (can't Say The Same About The Looks) — I love the car. It is one of the best 4 Cylinder cars I have driven or ridden in. Handles great and has good acceleration. Great gas mileage compared to cars and trucks today.
