I have a 2003 Honda product with low mileage. It has been very reliable.
The Accord is their most popular model. I have heard from mechanics that 80's thru late 90's Honda's were more reliable than later model years. Issues related to brakes and automatic transmission are known problem areas starting around the 2000+ models years. I have not seen any quantifiable evidence that newer model years were more problematic.
Here is some evidence that this may be true with some quantifiable evidence at least number of complaints to the NHSTA.
