  Big Upgrade from my 2001 Sebring - 2000 Honda Accord
  By kovacic_frank - January 23 - 1:37 pm

  Ive had the car for about a week now after going through tooth and nail failure with the 2001 Chryslar Sebring. The seats are very comfortable in the EX and the controls make sense where their placed. The back bar in the seat for extra support where you need it is great and the handling is very smooth if you drive considerate. My car has 140k miles on it when i got it and some where and tear are showing with the looseness of the accelerator, and the dashboard lights are flickering on and off from time to time. Gas is alright but im not getting what I thought id get from a Honda. Still a much bigger upgrade from other Sedans of that era. Also no Transmissions issues so far unlike 2002s.

  Supercommuter! - 2000 Honda Accord
  By aimgargiulo - November 15 - 11:05 pm

  I purchased my 2000 Honda with 133,000 miles from a man who commuted about 100 miles round trip to work. He took really good care of it, and I purchased it for a steal price of $3,300. Three years later, I have a 150 mile round trip commute to school, and shes up to 216,000 miles with no signs of slowing down! Its passed inspection every time (I do regular maintenance), and its never left me stranded at all except for when the clutch master cylinder went at 200,000-ish miles... but am I really going to complain about that?! I just get in and go with nothing but gas and a monthly oil change... its also a beast in the snow with studded snow tires! What more could a northern commuter want?

  after 12 years, still running great! - 2000 Honda Accord
  By nolimitt168 - July 7 - 11:42 pm

  I bought this car in 2000 when I went away to college. 12 years later, I am still driving it everyday without any problems. The odometer is closing in on 120,000 with no mechanical problems at all. I keep up to date with the maintenance. The light behind the clock and odometer went out a couple of years back, but all else is running fine. I will keep this car for another 1-2 years then give it to my sister. Very reliable car. What more can I say!

  150K and still drives like new - 2000 Honda Accord
  By gjken - June 25 - 9:13 am

  I purchased this car new in 2000 and it is definately without question the best car that I have ever owned. The most expensive part of owning this car is tire replacement. I am currently on my 4th set. I do oil changes at 3K, changed out the O2 sensors at 100K, replaced the battery twice, timing belt and F/R brakes at 105K, had refrigerant added at 105K, flushed the antifreeze twice, brake fluid changed three times, transmission oil changed 3 times (manual 5 speed), recently had a ball joint replaced. Replaced the wires/plugs at 105K. Currently have 150K on this car and expect that it will easily go another 150K without any major problems.

  2000 Honda Accord -- Dependable? :/ - 2000 Honda Accord
  By danielmchick - February 3 - 4:28 pm

  The transmission is terrible in this car. I mean, absolutely terrible. Hondas claim at reliability is totally false-especially with this year model range. I purchased the car two years ago, and Im very lucky I got that much out of it. I had the standard transmission failure that most experience: first gear shifts hard when going to second. Finally, the car went into fourth gear and stayed there it wouldnt shift down unless I used the gear shifter even then I only had access to first and second gear. Cost to fix it? $1500. Even then the repairman said the car would go through the same process three or so years from then because of an inherent defect in the design. Dont buy this car.

  Rebuilt Transmission at 93K - 2000 Honda Accord
  By Kelly - November 23 - 2:00 am

  Like so many others on this website, last month, I had to rebuild the transmission with only 93K to the tune of $1800. The CPU is also a little fluky. When the trans went, it sent a code that I needed a new Oxygen Sensor ($400 to replace). After a little research, this code is a common problem with the Y2K Accords CPU ($800 to fix). Rebuilt the tran and the code went away. Im so glad I didnt replace that part. I hope it lasts me another 3 years without any more major repairs, but Im not counting on it. Pity Hondas are supposed to be SO reliable.

  93K and a New Transmission - 2000 Honda Accord
  By Kelly - October 20 - 2:00 am

  After my 04 Civic was totaled I needed a cheap car reliable car. I found my hail damaged Y2K Accord with only 89K. Three months and 4K miles later, I need a new transmission. I called Honda Customer Service and they said that I was out of luck but I could TRY to get financial assistance IF I take it to a Honda dealership. Pay $3500 for a new transmission and MAYBE youll pay me some back? No Thanks! Also another code was thrown with the bad transmission code (P1164 bad oxygen sensor) due to some research online it could mean that the ECM needs to be replaced (the cars computer which would cost $800). Good car other than that (haha). Hope it makes it to 150K.

  Overall great vehicle - 2000 Honda Accord
  By Erik Olson - September 12 - 2:00 am

  I bought my accord in my second year of college. I was replacing my 00 GMC Sonoma due to lots of traveling. When purchased Honda replaced its cursed transmission at the dealership for free. I have had no problems with this car but basic maintenance such as tires, timing belt, oil, adding 134-a, and brakes. I am currently at 142,XXX miles and the car still runs like new. The car is a blast to drive and can keep up with almost any current v6 car. The vTec system engages flawlessly and still impresses me for a 2.3 L SOHC motor. As for comfort, I am 250lbs and I am very comfortable for 500 mile road trips. Plenty of power for passing. Gas mileage 55 mph 34 mpg, 65 mph 28 mpg, 75 mph 22 mpg, 100+ 12- mpg

  This car screams reliability, not style - 2000 Honda Accord
  By moparfan1790 - April 13 - 3:32 pm

  I bought this car from my uncle with 89k. Have had absolutely zero problems the only maintenance Ive done is a routine timing belt change (along with the water pump, which I figured I might as well replace w/ belt). Have not had the major transmission issue that seems to be common in the Honda V6 however, the tranny does hesitate between 1st and 2nd. The V6 is very quick, but I do not get very good gas mileage (20 in the city, 27 on highway) for a car of this size. Is not a head turner, but gets me from point A to point B in comfort and without problems.
