I've owned my 2000 Accord for 6 1/2 years now, since it still looks and runs great, I plan on holding on to it until at least the MMC for the 8th gen Accord (model year 2011).
I'll probably hold on to my 2006 Accord until the MMC for the 9th generation (model year 2016), lol.
I also had a used 1981 Accord Hatchback LX that I had in HS/college for 5 yrs until its untimely death from a stop sign runner, and a used 1989 Accord Coupe DX that I drove for 7 years afterward until I bought the 2000.
None of my Accords have ever let me down, and the EX-V6's have all the luxury I require, so it's hard for me to imagine driving anything else but an Accord. (unless, someone else is buying )
