Used For Driver's Ed — I used this car for driver's ed, so my use was very limited. I didn't take the car above 50, 55, however, the acceleration was for the most part good (5 people in the car), braking was good, handling was very sluggish, perhaps because of the 5 people in the car, but even on the road test it felt that way. The car had around 130,000 miles so even though it was only a '96 it was built well. I cannot comment on maintence or any other problems etc.

AC problem towards the end.

Very Reliable. — I didn't have any problems with my Accord, until the AC quit working 8 years after I bought it. I'd say that's a pretty good track record.
