I lived /worked in the Caribbean briefly, and the Accord was the car I bought after I returned to Canada -- the first "non-beater" car I'd ever had. (Meaning, even though it was 10 years old, it didn't need body work or mechanical repairs to put it on the road.)

What a scary rats nest of vacuum lines under the hood though! Fortunately never had any problems there.

This was in my pre-modding years -- aside from putting some VX rims on it (because I liked the way they looked), and driving it relatively efficiently, I hadn't yet had that epiphany.
