   The Accord will get you better mileage than the Taurus by a long shot. Hondas can go almost 1500 miles on one tank of gas. Fords can barely do 1000-1100.

   Both cars are subject to breakdowns but Hondas will outlast Fords by several years. Ford = Found On the Road Dead or F***ed Over Rebuilt Dodge. Honda parts can be found faster than Ford parts. Not all Taurus parts are like adult Legos, interchangeable. Some years don’t match with others. Hondas usually match almost all years.

   Take the Honda on your trip. You’ll worry less, go farther on a tank of gas & spend less too.

   Depends a lot on the mileage and how well the car has been taken care of. In general Hondas are more reliable that Fords, but if the Ford has lower mileage it might be the better bet.

   Look I am a ford man and have an 1970 mustang but seriously buy the honda. usually unstoppable but i do live in Australia where parts are easy to come buy don’t know about how you would go in th states but over here you may pay say 10 - 15% extra for the part but it will last twice as long
   hope this help
   also just read a little advice from a motoring website ensure the only common problems listed with that model over here are electrical - starter motors and alternators so maybe just check these out and get a good service done on the motor b4 you leave
