Default Who has the most miles?

Who has the most miles on their 94-97 accord? What were some common problems? Are they extremely reliable cars? How do the clutches hold up? what kinda gas mileage should I expect from an lx with I/H/E? I would like to know some common problems.Any other important info when buying an accord would be extremely helpful. Thanks alot for your help.

My friend has a 94 EX with around 245,000 miles on it. He bought it used with 130,000 on it about 4-5 years ago. He has had no problems on it at all, except for an alternator that went bad. Tranny is still crisp (auto) and engine purrs.

I have a 95 Accord EX with 153,000 miles. My car didn't pass smog and I need to replace the o2 sensor. Other than that, I replaced the CV boots and axles when I first got it over 2 years ago. Reliable as a ************, I love her.

385,000 miles on my 95. I changed just about everything, but among the first things to go bad was the A/C and the ABS. I'm selling it tomorrow, and it is gone!

I drove my first 94 Accord EX upto 105,000 miles before it was totaled. Other than the clutch that I changed because of burnouts, I had no problems with it. The second 94 Accord EX which I have now had 170,000 on it. I did swap the engine but the rest of the car is fine.
