This Honda Accord Has Over 1 Million Miles! Here’s The Secret To Getting It There!

Exactly like my first car I had. ‘91 LX Laurel Blue Metallic. So much fun to drive and made countless memories. Sold it in 2014. Only had 250k miles. Still drove solid.

I just bought a 2001 Civic with 220,000 on it. The interior and body are immaculate and as far as the engine and transmission. It's a manual and previous owner had the clutch replaced not too long ago and it shifts perfectly, no grinding or slips. The engine was having some idling issues, which she told me about. I discovered that the valve cover gasket has been replaced not long ago while I was changing the spark plugs and I found that when they installed the valve cover back on, the gaskets that seal the spark plugs tubes on the inside of the cover got pinched between the metal and all 4 of them were soaked in oil where the coils connect to the plugs so in fixing that and needs an EGR valve. Pretty soon it will need struts and pads and rotors probably but all normal stuff as far as I'm concerned except the gasket, honest mistake probably but Honda makes the best cars on the road in my honest opinion. I had a 91 Integra years back. That's been my favorite car I've owned ever

This is not a car anymore, more like aeroplane.

How far can 1.5L turbo CVT go?

Handa's last a long time!, And Handa's are very reliable cars!

My daily is a 2004 Subaru Outback. H6 engine with awd its a beast in the snow. 220,000 miles and still going.

All the accords if driven and maintained like this should ALL be capable of 1 Million and above miles.
These cars predates planned obsolescence and aggressive DIY lock out tactics.
Fun fact is virtually all of the 80's and 90's Honda will last as long as this.
All the F, J, H, B and D series are seriously built honestly and fit for purpose with many examples out living their owners interest, driving career or the owner themselves.
Not over engineered or over designed (convoluted parts removal, locked un-serviceable parts etc) like today's cars that keep lights on or unnecessarily go to limp mode to annoy and make you go to the dealer.

Nice review about this long lasting car I wonder about 72 tires or tire set if it is tire set will be much costly but I think tires each time probably 2 tires total of 36 tire set of 2 tires make since as tires recommended to be changed either complete set or two tires in each axile which make since

Such a touching story. My '97 is at about 355,000 miles (I make a vid every 25k miles if you want to see). I have some people that think I am crazy for taking it cross country all the time, but it hasn't really let me down! (I did have a sensor go, but overall pretty good)

I had a 90 that needed a new transmission at 14K. I kept it to about 70k.

The 86'-89 Accord had way better quality than the 90'-93' Accords.

Easy to steal too! No key immobilizer for Accords before 1997. Probably most of this generation been gone in 60 seconds....

I had driven long distances with the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 9th. The 4th with fabric seat was the most comfortable in my opinion.

my 01 accord has 350k original miles 5 speed

1 million is that all. Way low.

That’s roughly 5.5k miles a oil change

I had that car as my first the odometer stopped at 400,000km god only knows how many km were on it. I drove it everyday until I sold it to some idiot who used it as a race car. The body rusts out before the engine will die

No transmission issues?

thats more miles than there are view on this video right now

Back when cars were built to last

1995 Corolla wagon with 302,649 miles. It’s my daily to work and I hope to reach 1mil miles one day. Still same motor and trans!

That honda was designed when honda want to be the best, they were ruling Formula 1 with Aryton Senna .after that era honda went downhill.

any car can get to a million miles, 1st step is you have to drive a lot like 1000 miles a week at least, change the oil every 3K miles and change all the other fluids when they are supposed to be changed, most importantly trans fluid and filter. and just fix stuff when it breaks and replace worn parts when needed. theres no secret to hitting a million miles its common sense

My friends father-in-law has a late 80’s Toyota Land Cruiser with close to a million miles. Straight-six diesel engine. Bought new by him here in northern Finland!

.."if you want a free car or truck, it seems the way to do it is to put it on jack stands, and let it run in run at speed in drive for a few years, and just change the fluids and belts when need be until it reaches a ridiculous amount of miles" This dude actually says the brake calipers are all original, at over 1,000,000 miles. Seems legit! Just kidding, this is obviously total bullshit. I think those miles are real...3,440. If not, it was absolutely ran on jack stands in a garage to achieve such mileage with such little wear on the interior.

if you tell me it is 150 K miles , I would believe that .

1 million miles and not stolen once?

I love my Accord and so tempted to trade it in. I have a 2018 sport with turbo. I bought it CPO in 2021 with 37,000 miles and I’ve drove a lot and now have 113,000 miles. It still drives and rides like the day I took it off the lot. I do all oil changes and just did a tranny flush and it helps a lot. My opinion is the Honda engine and their proven CVT a Honda engine will last longer than a Camry. Only issue with it is it does through tires fast and I don’t speed, however in all fairness I am in the hottest city in the country “Phoenix “

the fuel point makes no sense cause no matter what car you have you have to put fuel in it if its not electric

This was the first family car we had when I was a kid and it was also blue. I distinctly remember the sound it made when driving in reverse. Apparently all hondas at the time made that same sound when backing up quickly.

So like a scale model...the best cars come from the get go due to moulding.....thanks

That's no 1M mile car. I'm not buying it.

WOW that is amazing to run car a that long My 2007 Honda Accord is sitting on 440k I trying to get to 500k. Its running strong.

I have a 2017 accord coupe ex just recently reached 101K miles. Have never had it stall on me. Keep io with maintenance and never forcing it or racing it 💯💯

1 million miles at 23mpg combined at $2 a gallon is about $87,000 in fuel costs.

1 million miles without tinted windows, no thanks.

so you mean to tell me you could've drove this car around the entire world 41 times 🤔

I wonder how many potholes he went over

Wow. That's amazing

I have a 2001 Acura CL. Runs like a clock. Take that, American auto makers!! Don’t buy American anything if possible ✌️

He should have mentioned it’s probably on its 9th water pump as well.

Lol at the dodge dash comment

My CB7 is currently at 282k, hopefully I'll join the million mile club someday!

Mine was 1990 Honda Accord LX - the same color. I had over 300k miles when a friend (truck driver) borrowed it and ruined it. He rotated the ignition key 360 degrees and engaged the engine and started simultaneously unable to turn it all off. He drove back like that and we disconnected the battery and unplugged some wiring but engine died soon after having developed leaks and other issues; sold it to junk yard! God - I miss my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. Beside driving across the US I drove it to Canada and Mexico as well - the car NEVER BROKE DOWN!!!

honda = accord in proper gematria ... = snapon ... material / physical quality

My Accord 7th 460000km😅
Accord is nice car

had a 93 Prelude . one of best cars i have ever owned. My last Honda was a 2007 it was ok but had issues even when new and I switched to Toyota / Lexus now and have to say been super solid.

Literally every Toyota Innova used as a taxi in India
