My 1988 Accord DX had 221,611 miles on it when 3rd, 4th, 5th and Reverse gears gave up the ghost. We were planning on buying our E in September, but with the old girl crapping her tranny, our plans shifted to the left. I have never been more impressed with any vehicle. I'm definitely not in the age group target, and I never knew there was a target until after I bought one. My wife, daughter, two Boxer dogs and I fit comfortably in our E. Awesome family vehicle. We recently went to Seaside, FL in our E, and didn't see but one other E the whole time. Cleaning out the beach sand was a breeze. I'm sold on Honda quality. We're still planning a September purchase. My wife wants one of her own. 8)
