Accords simply hold their value much better than any comparable domestic car and most other foriegn manufacturers
I heard great things about Honda covering defective items and parts even when the standard 3 yr warranty was over
I have read many stories of Hondas holding up well over time. Every domestic car I have owned in the past broke down repeatedly as it neared 5 years old. While the problems were rarely major, the numerous small issues added up in price and stress
I needed a car with a bit of muscle and 240hp in an Accord Coupe has been more than I ever expected from a Honda
I chose the more powerful engine so I could be getting better MPG if I went witha smaller motor but my fuel economy is still very good
