Who Has The Record for Miles?
Question:
I would love to see what the greatest mileage is that someone has got out of their Honda. Please post the year, model, the miles, and whether the engine is original. My local private (that is, non-dealer) Honda shop says they have a customer with a Honda having over 400k miles on it. Dunno the year, but I think they said it was the original engine.
My 1994 Civic DX has 152,000 miles, with only the following replaced: all brake pads (a few times), front discs once, clutch master cylinder (was a preventative, it didn’t go bad, just looked like it might, that was at 151k), three new CV axles, and a water pump with the timing belt at 92k. So, all things considered, I would say 152k with ZERO mechanical failures is a pretty good car. Nate

Drove my 95 accord V6 225,000 miles with few repairs: The brake master cylinder at 175,000 and the A/C compressor under warranty. Both radiator fan and A/C fans ultimately wore out (about 180,000) due to Dallas TX heat requiring 9 mos+ A/C use. Maintenance (timing belt plus belts and water pump at 90k and 180k) and wear items (brake pads, tires). Oil every 3500 miles.

Please post the year, model, the miles, and whether the engine is original. It’s no record, but I have a 1988 Integra with 301,000 miles on it. Original engine, but LOTS of things have been fixed over the years. I drove it to work today (my BMW is in the shop). By the way, my biggest problems have been with aftermarket parts. The original alternator went 177,000 miles, but I’ve been through maybe five replacement alternators. The original distributor seized at 273,000, and I think I’ve had two replacement distributors fail (electrically, not seize) since then. Interestingly, the starter is original, as are the rear brake rotors. Fifth gear needed replacement at just under 200,000 miles, but it still shifts like a dream, much better than most new cars. // Gary

I have a 1989 Acura Legend Coupe with 406,000 (I don’t drive it right now…. it’s limping) on the original engine. It has had a valve job though.

Man, that’s a great car. I always loved the way the first-generation Legend coupes drove. I think it’s one of the best-handling front-wheel-drive cars ever. Still looks good today, too. — http://hiwaay.net/~williams/

Saw a 94 Accord a dealer in Woodbridge Va, that had 1.1 million on it as of last year. They bought the car and gave him a Acura. One of the service people said it had 11 timing belts.

Is it still on display as it was said to be? Strange that there aren’t many stories around the internet about this car, unlike all the hits you get by putting "irv gordon volvo" in a search engine. I did once see a newspaper columnist’s column about this car (on-line version of some paper in the area where the car is), but it seems to no longer be available. — Timothy J.
