Honda is so happy with the public response to its product that it has made virtually no changes for 1997. Although it may not be the fanciest car on the road, it just might be the most comfortable automobile in its class. Priced between $6,700 and $8,725, standard features include a large trunk, spacious interior and excellent console design, all along with great gas mileage. What else can one say other than if you simply want a dependable car, why not try this one?
What owners say
"Drivers generally love the 1997 Honda Accord for its reliability, good handling, and fun driving experience. Many appreciate its decent fuel economy and spacious interior. However, some wish for more power and space, noting that it can feel underwhelming on long trips or when compared to sportier vehicles."
I purchased the care used with about 97k, now has 150k. It is sporty yet economical, and fun to drive. It's a 4-dr EX with a sunroof and is just a reliable fun to drive car. I'm hoping it holds up a few more years.
May 23, 2011First off, I <3 my Honda. These are some of the most reliable cars on the road. I haven't had a problem with this car and the odometer reads a scant 225,000 miles. :D The interior is ergonomically designed, everything is in reach and easy to adjust. I would have to say the exterior is one of the best looking cars of it's time, and even now. I have done some cosmetic modifications that really make it look aggressive. But it's a far cry from The Fast And The Furious. (thankfully, I hate those stupid ricers :P) On to performance, this car is not crazy fast (remember is a family sedan) but when it has the 5-speed manual transmission, it's a peppy car. It accepts modifications like it's own, and you really notice a difference when you install just a few bolt-ons. Left stock you will get about 32mpg on the highway, and even with a few mods it still returns the amount or even greater if it's properly tuned. It really just sips the gas. :) Though it's not the fastest car it is certainly one of the most fun to drive. The steering is exact, the brakes are strong and pedal feel is solid, and when you need to get on the highway, there is plenty of power to get you up to speed quickly. All in all this is a great car to have, it's reliable, good looking, and fun to drive.
August 27, 2008my first 4-door and i couldn't be happier about my choice. it gets great gas mileage and is low maintenance. i just kinda wish it had more power. it's also my first automatic and sometimes i miss whole shifting process.

March 21, 2008It handles really well and turns into a beast at 3800rpm. The seats are comfortable and there's a lot of leg room for the driver and front passenger. The car is very aero dynamic and it hugs corners like no other. The low-cut dash also gives the driver a great view.
January 7, 2008My very first car I've owned, and I fell in love with it when I sat in the driver's seat and it took me anywhere I wanted to go without any problems. I miss her so much... Good bye Acco-chan....
January 25, 2013this was the best car overall. no repairs needed on car for 6years---very cheap on parts on this car. can fill up the tank with less than 30 dollars. this car is fun to drive. car has never let me down!
November 15, 2010Only modifications that I did to my car that kept the car in an inspectable state were cat back exhaust and cold air intake system. This made the car sound great. I averaged 0-60 times of about 6.5 - 7 seconds which is not bad for a car that gets over 30 mpg. Although the car had over 160,000 miles, the maintenance costs were minimal. It was very fun to drive and was a great first car for me.
September 8, 2008Its simply awesome.. had no issues with it..
May 5, 2008Plenty of room, plenty of accessories, good smooth running car, no extra noise from the transmission or anything like that. Usually get about 35 mpg in town. No signs of "slowing down".
May 6, 2007Performance: Very, very fast, and accelerates like the devil. Build Quality: It's Honda, so its very reliable... if it has been taking care of, if not, you are going to have lots of time having fun with the front lights. Appearance: Dull on the exterior, and a nice place to be in the interior. It's a grandpa's car, so don't expect nothing "stylish", nice, but conservative. Cost of ownership: The car almost runs by itself, Gas mileage is very, very good (drove it with emergency lights for hours). Maintenance is very cheap. Fun Factor: Fast, Accelerates well, the steering is super precise and super sharp, the stereo is remarkable, and it has a sunroof. Yeah, you'll have fun. Lots of.
