Good 'ol Accord!
Well with 203,000 miles I decided to do a compression check before I change the timing belt/water pump tomorrow. With a Nominal of 178psi it tested out at 190-195-192-195! It also got 35.7mpg on its last tank of 526 miles! What a great little car, it keeps going and going and going... :thumbup:

There are a couple Accords (a 4th gen and a 5th gen) that have over 1 million miles. The 5th gen (1994 EX) is on display at a Honda dealership, not sure where the other one is (it was featured on a Boston news channel a few years back) The owner of the 4th gen recieved a free brand new car from Honda.

Goes to prove that when you take care of your car, it will take care of you and literaly last forever.
