I currently own an 07 with 239k bought it last year at 227k…. I bought my first 2006 accord 4 yrs ago with 225k as a beater and boy was I wrong… my dumb ass ended up trading it for a motorcycle (dumbest thing I ever did) I learned that 200k in a Honda accord really means 50,000k and they just run , I love this car!!! the most solid ride I have ever had and this k24 motor I know I can just rely on… it’s just a solid car
we have a 2006 Accord EX (top of the line with V6 and Navigation) we bought it new in 2006. It's decently quick and gets good gas mileage and we are at 160K miles. Original A/C system, though I did have to charge it myself once with those cans a few years back. I have replaced the mounts myself. I've also replaced the starter at relatively low miles - 80,000 IIRC. I just changed the power steering pump this past November. I also replaced the lower control arm bushings a few years back. I drive the car hard, but I've replaced the transmission in line filter a few times as well as draining and replacing the fluid in the trans.
A 2003 Honda accord was my very first car, I inherited from my mom back when I graduated high school, it had about 200k miles on it at the time, I didn't take care of it, I barely changed the oil, I never changed the coolant or or transmission fluid , I fell asleep on the highway, hit the median and still drove it home, I did less than the bare minimum, mainly because i didn't know any better. And that car still kept going, by the time I got rid of it, it had 346000 miles on it and the engine and transmission were still relatively solid. Everything else was falling apart though, the guy I sold it to apparently took the engine out and put it in another accord and kept driving it.
I had a 2003 accord LX with 500k miles, I replaced the ac compressor, power steering pump and lines, 2 alternators, 1 starter it was hard to get to, completely re did the suspension and brake system, water pump and 3 serpentine belts! It was an awesome vehicle automatic transmission! 2 fuel pumps. I sold it on September 2023 for $3k still got money for it! The only reason I sold it for a 2010 Camry LX with 105k miles at an unbelievable price $3500! I couldn't pass it up!
It might’ve been for an “unbelievable price” for a reason. Those cars with the 4 cylinder are notorious for burning oil. I hope yours doesn’t but keep us posted hopefully
Around 2005/2006 was the era where Honda’s transmission debacle started to turn the page and they built reliable transmissions afterwards. Between 1998-2005 was the time where Honda did several trial/error with their transmissions but finally solved it. Lots of people aren’t aware that Honda is one of the only car brands that build their own transmissions where others get theirs supplied.
I agree 100 % I have the v6 but I’m now looking to get a 4 cylinder Corolla from about the same year just to save more money on everything but the 4 cylinder accord is a good car. Roomy and great on gas 4 cylinder accord is definitely the way to go at the end of the day I’m never using more than 1/3 throttle anyway
Got a 2004 accord in late 2023 and it is still going. Had to change de CV axles, front suspension and tires and soon will have to change the motor mounts. The AC is not bad for the year, it takes about 10 minutes to get cool inside btw i live in Florida. 160k miles and still rolling. Bought it for 3k and in 8 months have cost me around 800 including 4 new Godyear tires. I think if you are on a budget it is a great deal and if you like to work on cars even better. Does not matter if had experience or not it is easy an cheap to fix most of the problems. Happy happy with the Accord
I got a 2007 Honda accord v6 awesome car. I did replace the motor mounts and I learned that if you do this you have to get Honda oem. I got two different aftermarket ones before I put the Honda OEM both aftermarkets within a month had failed. but overall very fun. Great car.
Yup the mounts too weak for the engine IMO. I had to do the fuel pump too. And the CV axles are known to snap too. And the steering pump failed on mine too but not bcz of the pump but bcz of the hose too it cracked in a hidden spot and it would suck air cavitating the pump. I had to replace the I think front pre-cat. Headliner is prob bcz of a leaking sunroof. Yup had to do the ignition switch and starter. The resistors for the stereo HVAC lighting become an issue. Had to replace the alternator (Hate doing on this engine) but that's not atypical for the mileage. I guess I got lucky on the AC. Still running strong 21 yrs later. I love the V6 tho. Nice linear pull in all gears. My car does great Hwy mileage. City meh. Oh and I like one thing tho abt this car. Most of the aftermarket parts are cheap compared to other cars IMO. Abt to go replace the front struts on mine later this evening...
EX 2007, the best car I ever had, until I bought a Lexus. I love the 7th generation Accord, almost as much as the 4th. I don't love the V6, I love the 2.4 L K24A8, if I want to compete, I'll stick with a 300Z. I love it for its comfort, reliability, fuel consumption, stability on the road. Greetings from Chile.
Definitely agree , I am on my second accord (2007 model) first was an 06… I would still have the 06 if I did not trade it , it still runs to this day with over 300k on it , my 07 is just as reliable as the 06 and its a 4 banger and I know I can just count on it and it does not concern me in anyway shape or form… definitely the most reliable cheapest to maintain and operate car ever in the world
In California the Honda Accord 2007 catalytic converter will cost you $2500 in California and you can't use the cheaper ones that are like $100 California will not allow it and in California the Honda Accord is one of the most targeted catalytic converter stolen item on cars.
bought a 2007 se 4cyl in 2022 with 150k , I did buy it with steer pump issues I didn’t have to fix it but I did for 500 while I could just kept replacing the liquid, definitely check. Otherwise, great car for the price drove about 20k praying I get to 200k
Buy and replace the front ball joints if they aren't recently done. Other than rust, you'll be good. The V6 moves much better, just do the timing belt.
Hi I have a 2005 honda accord 3.0. You are correct about the AC. My car is black and black leather. Yes definitely my car paint is peeling. I have had my alternator starter, power steering pump replaced. I've had all the underneath of my car. Replaced. I'm going to get my serpentine belt replaced. I had my spark plugs replaced. Now I need my hood struts replaced. I will do that myself it's a pretty easy job. One more thing I have to replace my power window switch. I here thats pretty common for honda as well.
I keep getting a p1009 and p2646 parts being replaced time and been done and I'm still getting the codes reset the computer and it comes back off and on do anybody know what's wrong with it All parts being replaced

Just picked up a clean '06 V6 6MT coupe with 193k. Silver with grey leather. Loving it so far!
bought a 2007 se 4cyl in 2022 with 150k , I did buy it with steer pump issues I didn’t have to fix it but I did for 500 while I could just kept replacing the liquid, definitely check. Otherwise, great car for the price drove about 20k praying I get to 200k

My 2004 4 cylinder burns a quart of oil every 2500 miles something to look out for if you get one
My nephew has one of these (2006 I think), & he does a transmission filter change every year. I think that might be a bit much, but whatever!
My '07 V6 EX-L has 206K and I plan on getting it to 300K with no problem.
07' 194k miles hope to get to 300k at least runs like new.
Buy,
These things are great cars.
I'd drive one.
Hi I have a 2005 honda accord 3.0.
You are correct about the AC. My car is black and black leather.
Yes definitely my car paint is peeling.
I have had my alternator starter, power steering pump replaced.
I've had all the underneath of my car.
Replaced.
I'm going to get my serpentine belt replaced.
I had my spark plugs replaced.
Now I need my hood struts replaced.
I will do that myself it's a pretty easy job.
One more thing I have to replace my power window switch.
I here thats pretty common for honda as well.
My driver power window started flaking out once or twice this spring too! Gonna have to look into it.
I keep getting a p1009 and p2646 parts being replaced time and been done and I'm still getting the codes reset the computer and it comes back off and on do anybody know what's wrong with it All parts being replaced
Try changing oil and filter, take out battery to reset the system and see if that does anything~ something I read on Reddit
I have one and it’s a piece of shit
Jaaaa por dice una mierda?
I used to love watching your channel. Stop with the car/truck reviews. No one cares guys. Get back to posting y’all’s original stuff please?!
Don’t really like Hondas. Really like Toyota cars..
