CarComplaints.com Notes: 1997 is the last model year in the 5th generation of Accord. Which means it's also the last model year before problems like widespread transmission failure, subframe rust and peeling paint took over.
Does the 1997 have problems? Sure it does. Any car this old will. Some owners say their engine started to cut out around 147,000 miles. That's still not bad, and getting to 200,000+ miles isn't out of the question.
Does anyone believe a newer Accord will reach 200,000 miles?

I bought the car from previous owner at 106K miles. Records and proper vehicle maintenance as required since mile #1. However while the vehicle was with me, problems started right about 120K. CV Joints need replacement, Alignment needed every 4 months or so. Oil leak from engine, need to change oil every 2500 miles instead of every 3K. Starter died at 133K. Maybe more to come.
