I have always owned Hondas. They are great cars because they're so extremely reliable. Make sure the one you buy has been well-maintained, and all you'll ever need to worry about is basic car maintenance. My first car was my mom's '91 Accord, which had 180,000-something miles on it when I got it. I put another 100,000 miles on it over the five years I owned it and never had a single problem with the car. All I ever had to do was keep up the scheduled maintenance. I only sold it because I wanted a pretty new Civic, not because there was anything wrong with it. I've had my Civic for 5 years and put about 85,000 miles on it, and have never had so much as a dead battery. Buy a Honda!

Honda's are very reliable cars and don't need a lot of maintenance. The oil has to be change every 3 months and just keep the specific maintenance checkups

If it was maintained well not much u have to do. Like others said regular fluids changes, tune ups, and around every 60k miles change the timing belt ur good to go.

Not hard to maintain a Honda they are very reliable. Like the other people said change the oil and perform routine maintenance. The problem with Hondas is when something goes really wrong they are very expensive to repair at a professional shop. I suggest you have the vehicle checked out by a professional before you purchase it. That way you know you wont have to drop a tranny in or end up replacing a head gasket soon. Good Luck

The Hondas are great cars, and not difficult to maintain. The question you need to ask is what condition the car is in now. How did the previous owner maintan the car. What maintenance records are available? If the car is not well maintained before you buy it, it will be expesive to upkeep after you buy it. If you are buying from a private party, ask if you can take the car to a mechanic for an inspection. If they say NO, move on. Good luck!!

Go for it kid. Easy to maintain, reliable and don't need a lot of repairs. Nice to see a young person concerned about maintenance and reliability instead of cold air intakes and bling for a change!
