These are pretty solid cars except for the transmissions. It may not affect every single car but its very detrimental and expensive when it happens. It affects a lot of the automatic 98-02 accords and even some 03+ accords as well. Search over on 6thgenaccord.com and you'll see multiple threads on the subject. For the record, I had a 2000 auto and had the tranny go out at 50k and again twice soon afterwards under warranty. If out of warranty it can easily be 3-4k to repair/replace

Haha I just found that site. They are saying the same with the trannys. I guess it's all the V6 Honda/Acuras trannys, I know the CL V6 have major problems with there's as well.
