Does Honda revamp their models on a regular schedule? |

I bought a used '93 Accord SE with 104,000 miles about four and a half years ago, and have just about doubled the mileage on it. This is the longest I've had any used car. Indeed, the two NEW cars I've had--an '87 Toyota FX16, and a '93 Protege--only went about 130,000 miles or so before getting totaled (yikes). My previous car, an '86 Corolla, was a piece of junk at 179,000: unibody rusted out, valves and rings sticking, power steering blown, A/C in pieces, clutch and tranny ruined by a blown rear main seal--AGAIN (the seals, I later discovered, were failing due to worn main bearings)... This is with very rough service (pizza delivery in a hilly college town) It is not rusted, despite the fact the paint job got trashed by some punk with a boxcutter. (I've been told that Version 4.x (1990-93) Accords are infamous for rear quarter rust, so I count myself lucky.) Everything, including the Bose stereo, still works great. The A/C is still cold and the cruise control is still cruisin'. The "check engine" light has never come on, except at startup. It doesn't even burn oil--much (about a quart of 5W30 every 1500 miles). Apart from the usual maintenance items one would expect on a car this age (brakes, front end work, hoses, etc.), and worn upholstery, the only recurring problem I've encountered is an appetite for alternators and plug wires--both of which I can easily replace myself. In other words, HELL YES! I am, however, waiting for the Accord Hybrid: 240 HP V6 and 40+ mpg. Yum. |

How did you know? <lol> In her case it was just one. Which was repaired at great cost and promptly there after she got the Odyssey. Oh did I mention the over heating, or the rear door latch problems, or the fit and finish? Dean |
