Look for an older Honda accord with a manual transmission (MT). MT cars were made in Japan and last forever. I had a 1999 MT Accord and put over 600,000 miles on it. I changed the timing belt every 100K and kept newer tires on it.

Pros: last forever, newer tires

Vehicle: Honda Accord

Mileage: 965606 km

def go through and do the timing belt, and all the oil seals behind it. They're so happy once they're not leaking anymore

Pros: no leaks

Check with the Honda dealer, you might be surprised to find out that the timing belt, water pump, tensioner etc (105,000 mile maintenance) job costs less than $2000. My dealer here charges like $1600 last I checked (though that was a few years ago) Upside to having the Honda dealer do it is you’ll guaranteed get OEM parts and they probably have a lot more experience because they do those jobs all the time.

Pros: OEM parts, experienced dealer

Cons: dealer prices can be high

Mileage: 105000 km

Timing belt seems cheap,im guessing aftermarket parts? Id ask for honda genuine parts if i were you- honda tech here,seen cheap aftermarket timing belt components fail and cause engine damage. Valve adjustment seems a lil high,it is tedious to perform. Reason for adjustment? We only adjust if the valves are noisy or run into misfire issues. Rest of parts are within the timing belt work procedure,ask if they can do better since they’re already there. Id skip the valve adjust

Pros: Honda genuine parts

Cons: cheap aftermarket parts fail, valve adjustment tedious

Bare in mind that this car uses a "wet belt" timing belt, where the timing belt runs inside the engine within the oil. This means that unless oil changes are carried out frequently, small parts of the belt break off and clock up the oil pickups, starving the engine and killing it.

Cons: parts break off

Regardless of servicing etc, that wet belt is still deteriorating as it is soaked in the hot engine oil.

Cons: belt deteriorates in oil

If it has been done they are actually a good engine when working fine. Plenty of torque and good on fuel. It’s just the reliability of them that’s the major issue. They switched to a timing chain from the wet belt from 2018 for a good reason. The 1.2 turbo engines from PSA are also wet belts and also switched to a chain around 2023. They are a terrible design and simply not going to be economical to maintain properly as the car ages.

Pros: plenty of torque, good on fuel

Cons: major reliability issue, terrible design, not economical to maintain

Vehicle: Ford Focus
