#1
My old dependable 1988 Honda Accord.
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I bought it for $500 from my brother, who had the car for four years.
It has good acceleration and a good clutch, still.
It has a manual transmission so I get more power when I need it.
Cons: Cassette player doesn't work. A/C doesn't work.
No muffler is kind of both: good for sound effects, powerful; sometimes loud isn't good.
Overall: I like the car. It is dependable and I have had no major problems with it yet. It should last me until I graduate high school in 2005...

#2
Great Purchase
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Handling, MPG, style (both interior and exterior) quality ride, Cons: Road Noise could be reduced.
Overall: Ive had this Accord Coupe for about 1 week now and it am very satisfied with the purchase.
I drove about 500 miles this past weekend and I have no complains. It does get a lot of attention because of the stylish exterior...

Reliable, Fast, Family Friendly - Accord that Rocks
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I have 150,000 Miles on my 98 Accord and it has been the best car I have ever owned.
I frequently get 500 Miles on a tank of gas. I am sure having a stick shift 4 cyl.
is the reason for such great GAS mileage. Cons: The seats could be more comfortable for an hour drive to work everyday.
However the gas mileage makes up for it. Overall: I would recommend this car to anyone who commutes to work or wants a fun family car...

great car
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: been very reliable, never any major work had to be done.
lot of extra money spent to make car better Cons: no leg room in the back seat Overall: this car is awesome for a 1989, only 115,500 miles...

#5
Transmission Failure
Source: MSN Autos

...but not the 1998 & 1999, although they are the same transmissions. Go figure. If you experience the same problem skip the dealer and go straight Honda headquarters with your complaint. If you are buying this car used be sure and ask if the Transmission has been replaced. If it hasn't, that could be why they are selling it. Overall: It is too bad Honda was not forthcoming with the transmission failures and issued a recall. The dealers in my area are denying there is a problem, however in talking to local transmission shops, the issue is well known in the industry. This will certainly make me...

THE ULTIMATE CAR !
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: It is a GREAT comfortable luxurious vehicle. It is reasonablely priced and very good gas miles on the trips & in town.
This is the only car I will ever own, since I met owners last year, who had over 500,000 miles on their car ! Cons: NOTHING ! Overall: I ADORE THIS CAR !...

#7
good car, but problematic
Source: MSN Autos

...Gas mileage is decent as well, I've calculated it at being around 30 miles to the gallon on the highway. Overall, I am very pleased with its performance, especially its acceleration. It's great for standard travel. Also, the back is roomy. Cons: I bought the car used less than a year ago, now with about 60,000 miles, and have already run into some problems. I had a $500 problem with my power steering, which required purchasing new parts. Lightbulbs for the interior in the clock and odometer already have burned out and the AC temperature knob has already broken off. Overall: I am pleased...

Upper middle class Mercedes

...Overall: keep away 500-1000$/ year on some sort of maintenance...

#9
Hoda 4cyl EX leather
Source: MSN Autos

...We needed something that would last till retirement in 5 years and a car that would run 150K without to many problems. I have owned German cars for the last 30 years and no more. 10K in 3 months Perfect! Cons: Wish the radio was a little better Overall: This car is a 4cyl ex with leather and auto. After 10K and 3 months not a single rattle or problem,it has aways gotten 33-36 mpg driving at the speed limit plus 10 max. Using synthetic oil every 7,500. $38.00 at local dealer(cheap) Though not the most exciting it os excellent for what it was made to do, be 100% reliable with good mph. 4 cyl...

Don't be hate'n my Honda...player.
Source: MSN Autos

...Not bad for a car that has over 500K miles! Cons: Unfortunatley the style is less than to be desired. I had to make my own lowering kit to make it look half way decent. Like the exterior, the interior needed some love as well. I had my wife knit some way cool tribal seat covers to keep those gear heads at check. I let them know the big dog was in town with my 600 lbs bass system. Overall: Considering what I had....it wasn't too bad. But now?!?! If you see my ride at the car show.....don't be hating. One day you too will acheive greatness. As for me, the wife and I are living in my mom's...
