Hi everybody I am planning to buy a Honda Accord LX V6 (in December-04) My question is: 1. Should I buy a 2004 or 2005? 2. They say that you should never buy a new car because of the depreciation. Do you think a 2003 or a 2002 LX V6 for 17000$ and 17K miles is worth it?

Car is a 1990 Integra. I live in a cold climate (eastern Canada). After a cold start, engine warms up normally, just idling (a bit slow IMO but it's always been like that). Driving around with the engine warmed, up the heater puts out lots of heat (normal). Problem is after the engine is warmed...

This is the 3rd winter I have owned this 1991 Civic. The first winter I owned it I replaced the OEM thermostat because it took way too long to warm up, and on really cold (-12F) days, the engine temp gauge dipped when I would run the heater wide open. It hasn't been that cold since so I don't know...

I've run into a bit of a snag and perhaps someone here can offer up some advice: So I'm installing a PIE Hon/AUX adapter in my 96 Civic and I removed my dashboard and pulled out both my radio headunit as well as the CD player (which is mounted down near the cupholders) in hopes of finding the port...

Hi, I just bought a new 2005 Accord coupe EX V6 (manual transmission) and noticed that there's rust all over the rims of the brakes as well as a couple of other components in that area (but not on the brake surfaces themselves). Needless to say, I'm not very happy about this. Does anybody have any...

My son has a 92 honda Civic that he was driving and it cut off on him and will not start. His car may have run out of gas or over heated due to a ratiator leak. Poss water problem. I have done the following: 1. New distibutor on 2. New rotor button 3. New plugs 4. Checked Coil OK

I was driving my 2000 Civic on the highway and it slowly ran down and stalled (pressing accelerator didn't give it gas). It was -20 degrees at the time, but the car had been started in a warm garage and was running fine up til then - engine was at proper temperature. The gas tank was just under 1/8...

I have a 2000 Accord EX 6 cyl. with 62,000 miles on it. My SRS light came on a few days ago. I took it to my local Honda shop (not the dealer). Their diagnostics test showed: "Code 09-3 Driver's Seat Belt Switch Failure. Suggest return to dealer for check out under Honda Warranty." Now I...

This question is for a 91 Civic HB with 190K. The first symptoms were engine misfiring and car jerking when I hit the gas, occasionally. Then I started having intermittent starting problems. Engine turns but won't start. It happened when the car was cold or warm. Dash lights work and I can hear the...

For some reason the fuse on my instrument panel lights keep blowing out. I'll replace it and the backlighting for my speedometer and all that good stuff will work for one start and then the next time i try using it i'll check the fuse again and its broken. Any Suggestions?

Searching for an SUV, over the past three weekends my wife and I test drove several models. We haven't come to a final decision yet and would appreciate some input. We want a new small to medium sized SUV below 25k (us dollars) (below 23k is preferable). My wife and I drive aggressively, plus where...

My daughter's 2002 Accord EX V6 Sedan has suddenly dropped down to 12 mpg. Dealer said nothing wrong--of course, car had 35,600 miles on it. It's now over the 36K warranty, but the previous complaint should help keep the issue alive under warranty. Also, the radio control buttons on the steering...

Last week I washed and waxed my 2004 Civic EX for the first time. As I was running the towel over the car near the rear door lock, all 4 locks were triggered closed. Can static electricity cause this to happen? Luckily the keys weren't in the car or I would have been locked out (temporarily...

My girlfriend recently bought a used 1990 Accord and now the driver's side door won't open. It has power locks, but no matter how you unlock/lock it (power, with key, manually) the locking mechanism doesn't seem to disengage on the driver's side door even though the button moves up and down on...

I'm replacing the right low beam bulb on my 98 Accord EX V6 sedan for the first time, which gives rise to two questions: 1) The owner manual says to use a 51 watt HB4 bulb, and that's also stamped right on the plastic near the bulb on the car itself. But most of the HB4 bulbs I see listed by...

Hydraulic connections (e.g. clutch, brakes) are self-sealing, right? No compound for fear of contaminating the hydraulic fluid, and no anti-seize for the same reason?

I know this subject is beaten to death, but my situation is a little different. 2004 Civic LX purchased June 28. Severe driving is 5,000 miles/6 months, but, while my driving is severe (almost all city stop and go), there is very little of it. I am coming up to 6 months and only have 3,000 miles...

I'm thinking of buying a used Honda civic. It has a dealer 2000 miles/2 months warranty. Let's say I want to have my timing belt replaced because it's a used car and I don't know the previous owner's maintenance. Would the warranty cover my request ASAP or would they only replace only if the...
