Besides maintenance, 1 other trick for longevity is to resist the urge to upgrade after 100k+ miles.. At least for me

[MrMrdlegend]

Those 2.2L engines were pretty bulletproof with proper maintenance. What's even more amazing is making it that many miles without being crashed

31 transmission fluid changes. Right there is something most people don't even bother with, or understand its importance. Cool video, and a testament to a quality car being properly cared for and maintained. Way to go Honda.

Japanese cars from the 90s era were pure excellence. Whether it was a Honda, Toyota or Nissan you couldn’t go wrong. The Accord lead the way. Still the 1994 Acura Legend will always be my favorite. It was the car I dreamed about in those times.

I had a 92 Accord. When I sold it, it had 310, 000 miles on it. Everything was original and had never been replaced and still worked. The AC was even original and still worked well in the southern heat.

In a world where everything seems disposable (including people) it's really nice to have a vehicle that's manufactured with QUALITY AND DURABILITY. My 2013 Accord has 245K on it. Excellent cars. ..

This was identical to my first car. I drove it until it had 550k miles on it and was forced to sell it when the transmission had a capacitor fail and take out several resistors on the transmission circuit board. We tried to swap the transmission control board, but it was to late. The transmission got stuck in 2nd and a new board didnt fix it. We let it go in 2014 and saw it driving down the road a few years ago and flagged down the buyer. He has over 776k miles on it and said it was the best car he has ever owned. Let us know the transmission needed to be replaced, but it was perfect after that.

That Accord's carbon footprint is absolutely miniscule! These were truly "green" cars. Build 'em once, and keep them going.

[ChrisParayno]

My friends parents still rocking their 91 accord and it still looks pristine. Best part, it's had over 400K miles and no major malfunctions thanks to meticulous normal maintenance.

I wish we could buy that exact model here in 2023. We need a car with this level of practicality today and I'm surprised there isn't a car sold today that has really captured the essence of what this car had, with its balance of economy, fun and room.
I had a 1992 LX in navy with a gray cloth interior, and I wish I'd kept it longer than the 5 years I had it. It would probably still be running for me today.

Golden era Honda. Super fun cars with great cabin visibility and reliable to go along with a great looking car.

[eoink]

I still own my first car since March 1987. My 1981 Ford Capri 2.8 injection it is still in perfect condition I have put 34, 000 miles on it there is currently 76, 000 miles on it. A long way short of a million miles ! Honda engineering is incredible !

I bought an '89 Accord as a commuter that had well over 200k on it. My wife expected the worst and called the car "Drop Dead Fred" expecting it to be a maintenance nightmare. I sold the car three years later when we moved out of state for the same price I bought it for, and it never failed me, not once.

[kennethjackson]

I had the same 1990 Accord, sold in 2014. 300k plus miles. Same color as car shown. Motor mounts were common since vacuum operated rear. Amazing reliability. The interior on these cars are amazingly durable. The cloth seats never looked severely worn, even in the intense Phoenix heat. The car has an amazing greenhouse with superb visibility and a lightness and that made the car very ‘tossable’ and enjoyable to drive.

Just bought an 09 Accord with 315, 000. Consumes a quart per 5000 miles. Original struts need replacement. Those japanese fellers nailed it.

[billyrock]

A buddies 1994 Honda has 800, 000+ miles. No major issues. Regular maintenance to the exact mile. Incredible.

Zero car payments for over 30 years. He calculated the car payment savings. $3.4 million in his bank account. He always laughed at the narcissist idiots making car payments on new cars giving their money away to the bank every month. He was right. Now a rich multimillionaire. ✅

[andrewsmith]

Maintenance cost are inexpensive compared to a car payment. Let’s give Joe a big “that a boy”! Safe driving is a big part of the equation. Driving that much in one vehicle without a major accident says a lot!!

Early 90s Japanese trio were pinnacle of durability

[Slaktrax]

Frequent and regular fluid changes particularly for the engine has always been the key to longevity. 🙂

The CB Accord was one of those brilliant late 80's, early 90's Hondas produced in their golden era. Well designed, well made, very reliable and very stylish.
