Curious for those who drive a current gen Accord Hybrid what kind of real-world MPG you’re seeing on the highway. I have a 70-mile round trip daily commute, most of which is at freeway speed (75-80 mph). Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I want to start by saying that I really have heard amazing things about Honda, but because this is my first Honda vehicle, I want to know what I’m getting into.

So, I’ve been looking for used cars, sedans specifically, for a little bit and think that I will land on a Civic or Accord from their previous generations. Due to all the recalls coming out about Hondas, however, I wanted to make sure that I don’t end up buying a shitty car that screws up after a year or two of use, as I plan to keep it for at least 5 years or so.

For insight, pun intended, I am looking around 2019 for the two and only plan on buying one of them, basically whichever one I get better value out of. Feel free to let me know if there are specific model years I should go with for each car, and which ones I should avoid from those generations.

Also, regarding recalls, do you guys believe that these should be deal breakers? I understand that recalls are great because it shows the company cares, but I’m also worried to have a car stall on me, or even worse, injure me or any passengers with me in the event of an accident, due to the airbag recalls on some of these cars.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: another question I have is whether these cars are actually as great as people make them out to be. Yes, I see plenty of previous gen Accords, and definitely a lot of Civics, but I would like to know whether they are truly reliable or not. I would also appreciate if I could get a bit of info on some common issues, and whether I should worry about them or not. Just wanted to add this in case it seemed like I diverted from my title’s point :)

Windshield has a crack and I spoke to my insurance and the deductible for a replacement is $100. This is the first time this happened so I scheduled an appointment with them on Friday to come to me and replace it. Should I look into OEM options since the deductible is $100? Not sure how good safelite is and what would is the right choice in this scenario. I still have time to cancel or reschedule. Thanks.

I got a 2002 CRV Honda with a IAC problem. P0505, I used my scanner to fresh reset the ECU settings and tried the 10 minute procedure but it still is idling weird And/or surging, at times. Jumping between 1100 and 1300 I.A.C. has been replaced twice with "brand new" It's for a good customer of mine

i have a gen x touring and i love it so much. but, just recently, i saw a sport touring, and i didn’t even know that existed.

is it just the trim? or is the turbo/engine different? i love the look of it, it’s like a gen 10 type r’s little brother. but i can’t find a clear answer for what the difference is between a touring and a sports touring for this specific generation. maybe i’m not looking hard enough, maybe i’m blind. lmk.

My door wasn't locking and Honda says it's the door lock cylinder. I ordered the part and installed it myself. Now my door locks using the fob but it won't manually lock and unlock using the physical key they gave me with the new door lock cylinder. Any idea why that might be? Honda says the key needs to be reprogramed or the cylinder needs to be retumbled (they weren't very clear) but I don't understand. It's a physical key that matches the cylinder. Why won't it unlock the door manually? What does this additional step proposed by Honda actually do?

Had this problem with a CR-V before but now it's happening with my element...on the freeway of if I try to give it too much gas it will cut off and. It give any gas at all and I have to wait for it to slow down a little before I'm allowed to give it gas and it engages again..

I think I had a sensor replaced in the past to fix it...anyone else experienced this or know what it is?

Thank you

As the title says my wife/I purchased this yesterday in black & pick up later this wk. Not sure if it’s buyers remorse mixed with nerves but I am feeling already nervous about it, specifically getting stolen or dinged up in a parking lot.

Here in Ontario, Canada & we are having huge issues with thefts esp the CR-V - they are stealing them, driving them to the port in Montreal & shipped to South Africa. I am going to get the TAG system installed in the next 2 wks but even that still makes me scared: what if it gets stolen & they can’t track it, etc.

This is my first post on this page. I have a budget of $12k and I’m looking for something reliable, somewhat quick, and modding capabilities. I was looking at a 06 civic si but then I found a 06 rsx type s, both are clean under 150k miles. I’m just wondering if there’s any better options that would be better for my budget. Any recommendations and comments would be helpful.

Took a wrong trail and ended up crunching over a pothole way too deep for my little car. I got home okay, checking my oil level super frequently and topped it off once with a quart that was gone after 30 minutes. No serious drips, but the oil pan is definitely wet when it shouldn’t be. Haven’t really had the chance to have it looked at; I’m no mechanic but I’ve got friends. Where is the speed sensor located? What else could I have fucked up that I need to check? Obviously we’ll be looking over the entire underside, just wanting to get ahead and know any potential issues. Was told that if I broke both the speed sensor and the oil pan there very well could be more and worse wrong with it, kind of want a heads up on what that may be. Tyia!

I race at a oval track in my 2000 honda accord 3.0 v6 and i bought a camber kit and can max it out at -3/3 degrees but i need to get it closer to -6 any help?

So I want to manual swap my accord but I can’t find any videos on it at all anywhere I look online an everybody says it’s to hard to do or if you’re going to do it yourself you need to replace the ecu along something else but I don’t get it why would it be so hard to do because I just got done manual swapping my prelude 97 and I didn’t have to change the ecu all I did was cut like 4 wires off the neutral safety switch to make it think it’s in neutral and she starts right up so can’t I just do the same thing to my accord ?

holy fuck

Cool picture my dad took of our pilot with the background of the aurora. Seen from northeastern Wisconsin

Do you think it would make sense to sell the Passport and Pilot in other countries as the Pilot and Pilot L?

I am starting as a Honda salesmen at a dealership soon. Any advice? Thanks!

I have a Jazz 2005 automatic CVT with 43k miles on it, bought it 8 months ago and only 2 months ago it developed judder when accelerating from a stop, when you cold start the car, the judder is barely there but as the car warm up for 3-5 min it gets worse. The judder is only at the start of take off after that it's all smooth.

I don't know if it had CVT oil changed, the color of the fluid looks light brownish. I read online and only thing i could try seem to be an oil change and if that doesn't help or much then i could use some Xado EX120.

Does anyone have experience with Xado EX120? Does it really work? My Honda dealership also recommended an oil change as a start and would charge me 230$ here in EU for an oil change only, no flush.

We are heart broken for this, used automatic cars are expensive here and we spent a year saving for this beautiful Honda with working ac and everything and barely got driven and now might end up in the junkyard since no one works on CVT or says it's worth changing, and fixing it is a nono here.

While I was driving I lost thrust for a brief moment, and heard clunking noises like there is a loose part innside the bike.

Any known issues? Cb500x 40 000 km.

Hi I was using my backup camera on a sunny day and then the video feed turned black and white. I tried googling and youtubing the situation but didn't see anything related to the situation.

Should I just take it to the dealership and have them fix it? Or is this just a small problem I can fix myself? I'm not car literate or knowledgeable :(

so the loud part started making hella dookie noises (like a banging dookie sound yk?) and then i was stuck on the freeway for like 2 hours ughhh . i have a honda cord but not sure when year it was made . i took it into the shop.. ... freaking 500$ dollars of money

the pic is the machine area of the car whear the noise was

So I have a 95 civic hatch that I just swapped an engine and manual transmission out of a 94 integra. The 94 integra was my buddies old car, and it’s been probably a year in the making because we just rebuilt the engine with all new racing spec parts. Anyways, I’ve got maybe 100 miles on all this stuff all new parts and fluids and when I have the transmission in gear especially the lower gears like first and second, if I let off the gas and use the transmission to brake(engine braking), it makes a loud grinding sound. Push the clutch it goes away, push the gas it goes away. It does this in all the gears but only really does it if I have the weight being put into the drivetrain. I thought maybe it was leaking oil, but I drained the fluid and it still had the right amount of fluid needed, and the leak that I did find was from the distributor. The fluid was also not very sparkly, although it was a bit and it has only been a week since I’ve put this car together. Any ideas on what I could do to fix this would be great. New OEM Honda manual transmission fluid by the way.

Im looking into buying another b16a2 for my em1 that I blew up, the engine and tranny im looking at is rebuilt it has 10k miles and on 200psi compression, the guy that rebuilt it Ive heard of him before so seems pretty legit. So im just wondering if $3,500 is fair for the engine, transmission, and v3 hondata ecu that he’s including? Also I assume i wont be needing additional parts since I already have the em1 with its old parts?
