Rating 5.0

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
Mileage: 965606 km

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

Turns out I did not tighten the bolts enough on the intake cam gear. A couple came very loose or out. Tore up the timing belt, the cam gear and valve cover.

Cons: Tore up timing belt

The belt was definitely original and looked like black bean noodles. It was limping on its last leg.
