On paper these should have pretty even performance #'s but the Altima beats the Accord soundly when comparing auto trannys, and trounces it when it comes to the 6 speed. Were talking 1/2 second in the quarter and 0-60 in the autos, and a full second for the 6 speed. What gives with the...

Fellow newsgroup citizens, we used to be a (nearly) all Honda family - 3 Hondas and 1 classic VW Beetle (1965). On our earlier Hondas I replaced timing belts, entire engines, and some other parts myself. Now, however, the 2 remaining Honda cars I and my in-laws have seem to reflect a company...

Hello, I recently bought a 1994 Honda Accord LX, with 195,000 miles. As I was walking out to my car this morning, I heard a strange ongoing high-pitched tone, which could best be described as a more faint version of the horn. I panicked, thinking that the horn switch somehow froze in place (I'm in...

Hi, I've just bought a 1997 Civic 1.5 LS. It has full Honda stamped service history up to 60,000 miles but 66,000 mile service was missed (optional service anyway). It's now 70,000 miles and so due for the big 72,000 mile service, and my question is would it be ok to take it to my mechanic who...

Hello, I have a 2008 Accord Auto 4 cyl EX-L. The manual says to use regular 87 octane. The compression ratio in this car is high enough where premium would be required in other car brands with the same compression ratio and almost as high as other Hondas (such as the civic si) that do require...

My wife just mentioned this (and I have seen it happen before). We usually lock the doors using the lock/unlock switches on the doors (and the drivers side door button). This usually works well, and locks the van. The problem we're noticing is that when using the lock/unlock (and sometimes the...

2004 Accord. The headlights are just not bright enough on the car and I'd like to replace them with something brighter. I've looked at the HID bulbs, is that the only option? What has anyone tried and how do they work? Thanks in advance. H-S-F

I've been ready to make my changes to my cig. lighter from ignition to "always on", and I discovered something semi disturbing before I made the changes. Between the positive and negative terminals of the cigarette lighter (pos is center, and ground/neg is shell) I'm expecting 0 resistance. ...

Is there a commonly available antifreeze that's sufficiently aluminum-engine-friendly for a 94 Civic, or is genuine Honda antifreeze the only way to go?
