Used Honda Accord for Sale in Ottumwa, IA

The electronics component of the car is placed either directly next to or directly beneath the AC unit. This means that when you run the AC during the summer and water condenses on it, water will likely get on the electronics component as well. This may not always cause problems, but when it does the car dashboard lights will start flashing and the car will lag then stall completely. Once the interior of the engine dries the car can usually be started again but if your mechanic doesn't know what's wrong or it happens on a long trip, the repairs can be quite costly. This defect happened to me when I was on a road trip several hours long, and stranded my husband and I almost exactly halfway between the cities in a construction zone. The car WILL decide to completely stop working. The other drawback, depending on your choice of interior color, is that the light colored interior fabric shows dirt and stains incredibly easily and will be almost impossible to clean, even professionally. This car has also had several recall notices, so if you decide to buy one make sure it has been updated for the recall pieces.

It has Bluetooth, but it can only work for calls and not music. This is a major downside, since other cars of the same year are able to play music through Bluetooth. The seats are leather so it gets super hot when the sun is out, and it starts to smell if you leave it out in the sun for too long. Parking can sometimes be difficult because the steering, despite being easy to control while driving, cannot depress very far on either side so you have to give the car a wider angle when parking. Very bad for tight parking. It is also too easy to accelerate and speed in this car since the engine is so smooth.
