Honda Accord Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Honda Accord rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Honda Accord reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2009:

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Honda Accord--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

Honda Accord Repair Histories

To supplement our Vehicle Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Honda Accord repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Vehicle Reliability Survey and the Vehicle Repair History Survey are posted here:

Honda Accord Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Honda Accord's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Honda Accord's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Honda Accord Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Honda Accord tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Honda Accord--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
