What should I look for in a used Honda Accord?

Honda always does well in customer satisfaction and reliability surveys, and the Accord upholds this tradition. It topped the family car category of the 2010 JD Power survey, and came fifth overall.

However, there is the odd grumble from owners, with the cabin the most problematic. Stereo issues and temperamental Bluetooth phone systems have all been mentioned, but the biggest reported concern is cabin trim and build quality. Squeaks, rattles and poor resistance to everyday wear and tear are common complaints.
