I have a 2002 Accord that I bought in '04 with ~60k miles. It now has close to 250k and is still rolling. I use it as my get around car when I don't want to drive the bigger SUV or truck. Same with any Honda, if you keep them up, they will keep rolling.
We have a 2016 Honda CRV as well. Only complaint is a squeaky glovebox that we fixed with an old receipt.

How’s the 2016 paint holding up?

Are the new models still having paint issues?
After 3 or 4 times to have the car repainted, I wrecked the car and didn't replace it with another Honda.
Google is your friend
Edited to add: Scroll down to the end of the article for comments.
The article is paint color specific (white), but my car was the dark grey and the whole car had paint issues.

Better than the '02 Accord did. It is black, and I think every black Accord from '02 faded terribly, no matter how you took care of them. Honda refused to admit they fricked that paint up.
Haven't had any issues with the CRV, but I've taken better care of it. Their lighter colors seem to be a good bit better than darker colors and black. I don't know what they did, but it wasn't right.

I have a 2017 and it has been great for me. I do think it’s a little loud on the highway compared to others but the ride is smooth. Great gas mileage and car still looks brand new with a good bath.

I’m actually getting a bigger car from family and will be selling a really good condition 2013 exl black Honda Accord with 43k miles on it shortly. If you’re at all interested let me know.

i replaced my '02 black accord with a 2018 civic a few months ago.
the paint on the '02 was fricked but i didnt care and it was outside its entire life. i love hondas, but im not a car guy at all. give me good mileage, low maintenance, and shite that i can drive for 10-15 years.

I was a car guy, then priorities changed when I started looking at houses. Lol

Very nice. Smooth ride, spacious interior and huge trunk, lots of features even at base.
I just found it ultimately boring and lacking quick acceleration (even compared to a Civic) so I got something else. Great car though.

I always thought the 2016-17 Accord Sports were really good looking cars. If I get T-boned tomorrow, I’d probably just by a low mileage ‘17 Sport. Newer models are meh.

Damn good little car for navigating heavy city traffic. Has more power than u expect. The transmission is crap if you dont change the fluid by 60k and the rotors are cheap too.

Check out the Hyundai

No. I drive An Acura.

4 cylinder sounds like a Briggs & Stratton.

I’m curious about crash ratings. There is so much scum driving around impaired without a care in the world crash test ratings are important.

Accord is a great car. It’s only shortcomings are a loud inferior and crappy paint job.
The latest version addressed both of those problems.

I totaled my 2006 Accord EXL with 275K miles in November 2019. Bought a 2018 Accord 2.0T Touring in December.
A fantastic car to drive. I get about 35mpg on the highway and it's a breeze to maintain. Frankly, I'd still be driving the '06 Accord had I not hit a deer. It was running like it was brand new.
Before I bought the '18, I test drove the Camry, the Sonata and the Optima. My '06 had a V6 and Honda no longer offers it; that was a real sticking point with me. Well, now Hyundai no longer offers a V6 for the Sonata; I don't know if Kia offers a V6 option for the Optima. I can tell you none of those drove as well as the Honda Accord. So I bought another one. I'll probably get 300K miles out of it as well.

Best car ever owned, by a long long stretch.
2000 Honda Accord- kept 9 years, changed clock light bulb once.
2009 Honda Accord- kept 11 years, changed interior dome light bulb 4 times.
2020 Honda Accord, just bought this summer. So far, love it.
Can’t say enough about Honda. Repair and maintenance costs mean the most to me. Besides tires, oils changes and brake pads, the above listed issues were all I’ve had.
