  • awesome/dependable car - 1997 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought this car in february after months of searching for it after my 1990 LX was totalled. I love this car even better than the first one i owned. It performs very well, as I have won every race ive ever been in it with. Its also very stylish and i would recommend it to anyone, youll have fun driving it, and theres plenty of stuff out there u can buy to make it a little more fun if you want.

  • Good car for that year - 1997 Honda Accord

    Overall the car is good for what it is designed for. A cheaply priced car with good gas mileage. Wish I would have bought the V6 model, but thought they didnt come out until 98. A couple of weeks ago just turned over 50k and had 4 recals taken care of free of charge.

  • Great car, but... - 1997 Honda Accord
    By -

    Ive driven my Accord for 3 years and been very happy. the only regret is that the power gadgets are cheapo. The power mirrors have failed and the motors for the power windows are flimsy; Ive had to replace both. Otherwise, the comfort, design and engine reliability have been superb.

  • THE BEST CAR ON THE ROAD - 1997 Honda Accord
    By -

    MY HONDA ACCORD LX IS THE BEST CAR I HAVE OWN. IT HAS A 2.3 ENGINE. I GOT IT MAY OF 1999 WITH 29920 MILES ON IT AND NOW I HAVE 110,000 MILES ON IT. AND I DID NOT TUNE IT UP UNTIL 100,000 MILES ON IT. AND IT DOES NOT USE OIL AND I DO NOT CHANGE OIL BUT EVERY 7500 MILES.IT HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS.

  • Almost 20 years of complete satisfaction - 1997 Honda Accord

    This car was so reliable until about year 15, when original parts needed replacement regularly. Unfortunately, exhaust seems to have the shortest life on Hondas, but replaced it around year 10 or 11 and nothing since.

  • 4 ever Honda - 1997 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought this car for my wife, After allready selling a 1986 accord with 209,000 miles on it (trouble free) only its routine timing belts when needed, The 86 Was a great car, Now the 1997 has aprox 159,000 on the speedo (trouble free) it will be a cold day in He** before i ever own anything else.This could explain why i also own a 98 crv,a 91 crx,honda generator, honda weed eater, and a Honda generator.I never ever thought id stay GM for a long while, But then Honda proved to be Bullet proof.Id incourage anyone to purchase a Accord.

  • Accord Wagons Rule! - 1997 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have loved this car since the day I drove it off the lot! Its stylish, sporty and best of all, its a station wagon. My two dogs fit great in the back. Honda makes a great car. Spirited performance, tight suspension, rock solid reliability. With close to 90k miles now my "eucalyptus green pearl" LX 5 speed is great! No major problems other than a d/s window actuator and the airbag sensor both of which were covered under warranty... I am up to change the timing belt which might be $$$$! The cheapest Honda dealer wins!
