obviously, I'm slightly biased, but I have had virtually no problems with my car, I own a 1993 Honda Accord 10th Annivers. Edition (basically an LX with larger wheels and ABS, from that generation). The car has always be driven in Michigan (rough winters, bad roads, and tons of salt to keep the roads ice free.) The car now has 170,000 miles on it, and I have had no problems. Recently I had to change some springs on the front suspension and struts, but those were all original OEM, so all things considered, not bad after 12 years of use. So, after 12 years of great quality, I had to spend $400 to replace those parts in the front suspension. Everything has held up great, no engine, tranny, or interior problems at all. I ahve been very happy with this car, it's been great. Being that I am a college student, I see tons and tons of 4th Generation Accords on campus (1990-1993). I went to get an oil change the other day and the guy in front of me was driving a 1989 Accord with 290,000 miles on it...yeah, i think that speaks longevity and quality. I have no intentions of buying a new car right now, and I know this one will keep on going. I plan to use it for at least 2-3 yrs until I graduate, and after 14-15 years of quality life, I will retire it when I buy a new honda.
