I drive an Accord and like it a lot.
My previous car was a Grand Am, and before I totalled it, it was always in the shop. It had to have a new tranny put in at 75k and numerous other repairs during the time I had it.
The Accord has been in the shop a few times, but always for something small.. I think the only "repair" that was over $100 was getting it re-aligned, but nothing has really gone wrong with it yet.
It's an older model ('96), and just a 4 banger, but I like it a lot and ideally would like to get a V6 EX when I'm settled down an able to afford a nicer car.
My car is by no means a race car, but I drive fast and find it to be very reponsive and stable.. It's acceleration leaves something to be desired, but that's to be expected from a 4 cylinder I guess. That and I don't like to punch it for fear of damaging the engine..
Very neat car though. The Grand-Am was all kinds of trouble, but the Accord has pretty much made me a Honda customer from here on out. I've heard about their reliability and life for awhile, but after driving and owning one for over a year, I can honestly say that so far things are looking good.
