An excellent first car. - 1997 Honda Accord
By Steve - July 6 - 10:05 amPurchased by my aunt new, I bought this car from her as my first with 80000 miles. I love it! In my aunts care and my own short stint owning the car, its been stone reliable. The car has a much more engaging drive than the later 98-02 Accords.

Still Happy! - 1997 Honda Accord
By Stacie - June 14 - 12:07 pmThis was my first new car purchase and it remains a great decision. I purchased this car due to the distance I would be traveling to college and have always felt safe, had great reliability, and continue to get great gas mileage. With basic maintenance and the purchase of new tires, my Value Package Honda has lived up to every expectation. Ill be purchasing a new vehicle soon, but a family member has already asked to buy my 1997 Honda because of how great it is!!

This is one reliable vehicle - 1997 Honda Accord
By MickC - June 7 - 10:00 amThis is the second Accord I have owned. The first was a 84 that I owned for 14 years; both vehicles have performed flawlessly. I have only spent money on maintenance and tinted windows. After 4 years I still havent even bought new tires or replaced brake pads! I dropped in a K&N filter a couple of years ago and I get 27mpg/400 miles per tank city driving. I have waxed it one time recently and my neighbors told me that they were jealous.

Reliable, basic transport - 1997 Honda Accord
By Hondaowner - May 9 - 10:00 amOur Accord has had very minor repairs done other than regular maintenance. We are very happy with that. You can always be sure that when you turn the key, the engine will start and the car will move. AT 75K miles it shows no signs of trouble. The engine, however, is too weak for a car this size. If you have the AC on, forget about any acceleration even with a manual tranny. Performance and cornering are total afterthoughts.

Heaven Sent - 1997 Honda Accord
By val - April 14 - 10:00 amThis vehicle has been heaven sent. First owner and vehicle now has about 53,000 miles, and never experienced one mechanical problem. Prior, owned a little civic hatchback and same history, never one mechanical problem. As a woman, I thank the heavens for this vehicle, never leaving me stalled, brokedown or anything unexpectedly going out on me especially on the road. I feel safe with my honda. Thanks Honda!

Solid car would buy it again - 1997 Honda Accord
By Kevin S. - March 14 - 6:29 pmBought this car, then put 1,000 miles on it in the first week. Extremely frugal on gas averaged 300 miles on a tank of gas in city driving 400 miles on highway. A/C quit at 150,000 miles repaired by dealer. Replaced brakes and thermostat a few tires, but no major work. Im a Honda driver for life.

Best car Ive ever owned - 1997 Honda Accord
By J.J. - March 2 - 11:45 amI bought my 97 Accord LX 4cyl in 1999 with 23,000 miles. I have since driven the car to 148,000, with no problems what so ever. The only thing I did was perform basic maintaince, such as tires, brakes, timing belt, cv joints, etc. My only concern is that the power windows are very slow, especially in cold weather. Other wise I love this car. It also aged very well, The day I sold it with 148K it looked and drove just as it did when I got it with 23K. Needless to say, I am replacing it with a newer Accord, a 2003 model.

Rock solid - 1997 Honda Accord
By alex - February 17 - 9:15 pmBest car Ive ever owned. Requires no repairs, EVER. I live where there is salt on the roads, hence a new radiator due to rust. 100% reliable, would drive it anywhere in North America. You dont know quality til youve owned a Honda.
