Most reliable Accord models?

I have a 2005 Accord, and just love it. New tires at 60K, but that's
been it, except for basic maintenance. But I'm not a fan of the new
Accords; they seem cramped to me.

 

I remember when I was in High School (long ago) I had a speech teacher
who said you shouldn't use statistics for your speeches. If I recall,
it was because they can distort the facts. Now it's funny because
that's all you hear from politicians. I wonder if a current speech
teacher would agree with my old speech teacher? Any speech teachers
reading this post?

Stewart, your point is a "good one" but unfortunately those that use
the stats, don't want you to think that way . And yes, it's the
engineer in you that thinks that way. College taught you to think
like that (it did me).

 

I thought the new Accords were less cramped because they are larger??

 

Yes, politicians always seem to talk through a different bodily
orifice then the rest of us.....

 

Agreed. Lately I'm bothered by their loyalty to partisan thinking
rather than who they actually represent or work for. It's so
frustrating to hear how they don't work together. Gosh, if you did
this in the private sector, you'd be outa business fast. I remember
a friend telling me that he worked with some gov't employees who told
him that there was no need to rush because there is always the next
day. Can you imagine why the gov't is so slow at all levels if they
think like this?


Oh well, I know I've strayed off the Accord so forgive me but to get
back closer to topic.....

Have the 2010 Accords corrected their brake problems that many
complained about in the 08 and 09s ?

 

So did I, so imagine my surprise when I sat in a 2009 and felt
claustrophobic in it. Considering how much larger it is on the outside
compared to my 2005, I was also surprised that the trunk wasn't
appreciably larger!

 

Yeah, and they complain about the slow Toyota responses to issues.

Not sure if they did. I hear the Prius 2010 brakes are pretty
good.........

 

mmmm

 

I just couldn't resist.....

 

yep

 

Carol's 96 went 10 1/2 years and 120K with only routine work and
(sigh) replacement of the airbags after "they went off". "yeah, the
went off when I bumped the lady ahead of me" But even after all the
other body work that came with that "love tap" the car never had any
reliabiliyt problems. And gas mileage was great. We sold it to a
friend in Jan of 2007. He still has it, it now as 145K on it and he
thinks he might want to pre-emptively replace the boots because his
previous Accord needed new boots at around 150K.

Hey, turnabout's fair play.

 

Well, you really ought to practice safe sex next time.

 

No, she should quit going to early 80's discos.

You know, I can't think of nothing finer than a fine

fine going on.

Then your speech teacher was dead wrong. Properly used statistics are
the facts. It's a lot easier to distort things without statistics tan
with them.
