My bro bought an accord with 310K on it. started having issues with the alternator and radiator, now fixed. oil leaks, but fix with new gaskets. previous owner re-buitl the tranny. running better now, but the exterior is breaking slowly due to accidents. I feel the cars end is coming soon
My 97 civic has 194,000 miles so far, its running strong, i do all the maintanence and replace everthing slowly. gaskets, hoses, oils, pcv valve, filters,... basically everything if it starts to look old. I have never have any sever engine or tranny issues. Most common issues where related to the axles and driver window. radiator overheated due to poor head gasket. now fixed.
yesterday I calculated the miles per gallon, results 31mph (highway and streets). Normally its 26-27 mpg.
