2013 accord ex-l

[drakon543]

so it was time to get rid of our 08 civic it wasn't fitting well with the addition of my son to the family. its not a gm product yes i know but having a friend in a gm garage and hearing all the stories has me gun shy on gm cars. plus the lack of anything aftermarket for gm 4 door cars anymore. so anyway only has 66k on it and its got pretty close to every option available without actually being one of the sport variations. v6 rated for 278hp or something so its pretty snappy. so anyway thats my new vehicle addition and i haven't posted in a few weeks i think so figured id post up something.

My 08 has 335k ... good luck

the 08 civic we did have was at 182k and never gave us any problems. we bought it at 80k and the only thing i ever did was maintenance and replaced the battery. but even for a 4 door it was too small for a stroller 2 kids and all the other stuff you drag along with that. i did decide to do a 4 wheel alignment around 150k but thats it.

Meant to write 4 door accord. Its my work car, does 140 miles round trip a day. Ashamed to say it but all i do is change oil every 9-12k, brakes, tires and i just did rear hubs because 1 side was screaming at me. Bought it new in 08 and i think i checked trans fluid once. Oh and i did both front bearing and halfshafts at about 175k. But other than that i get in start it drive to work and drive home. A/c is still ice cold and heat works great. There is a hole in the floor board under the passenger seat but nobody sits there so im not worried about it. Off the line its a dog for a 4 cylinder but top end of this motor is no joke.....thing moves for a 4cyl. Lol

14’ Sport here. Just turned 37k on her. Practical daily driver. No complaints here. Just wish i could give it forced induction.

We have a 15' exl 4 banger. My wife loves it. I'm not a big fan of the cvt trans but I believe the v6 gets a regular 6 speed auto. We had an 03' before that and put 200k on her before saying goodbye. Great cars.

i had an older car rotted out rear passenger floor. i just hacked out the bad rust riveted a blank piece of sheer metal over the whole and coated the underside there with that thick tar undercoating. that was a 91 escorti picked up for free if i believe. another store but ya free fixed it as cheap as possible drove it for a year and sold it for 500 bucks.

 

[Derick]

Honda owner here too:

06 Accord EXL, Purchased new > 150k miles. Traded it in when the AC went out, for a Taurus.. BLAAHH!!
13 Accord Sport, Purchased at 26k > 60k. Got it after having that Awful Taurus for 6 months.
Current: 17 Accord Sport SE, Purchased new > currently like 17k miles. Love this car, plan on handing it down to my kid in 7 years time.

All with the I4, manual transmission. Never replaced a clutch.

 

[drakon543]

hope you dont have any issues with that mt. page im on for the accords i hear more about problems with the mt than the automatic.

 

[Derick]

Really? Well my 06 I put every one of those 150k miles on that car.... And never had an issue with the 5 spd trans. The 13 and the 17 have a 6 sp... The service guy did say the clutch would likely be due around 80-100k which surprised and concerned me.... :/

 

[drakon543]

ya they were pretty decent prior to 2013. apparently there are issues with the new ones im definitely seeing alot of people with the need to replace the clutch. however fyi there is supposedly a better aftermarket clutch out there. mines an auto so ive never looked into it but i see it mentioned regularly.

We had three V6 Accords at work. I was “testing” the blue one by sprinting from one cluster of cars to the next. Came over a hill and there was a radar trap. I was flying.

Ahead of me in the right lane was a blue Accord. Ahead of me in the left lane was a third blue Accord! No ticket. I decided then a V6 Accord (still available wi5h a manual, though rare) might be the best sleeper ever.
