I would recommend Mopar for this application. I had a car quest starter fail after 1 week. Spent the money on the Mopar unit and it’s been fine for 30k miles since. Original lasted 100k miles and nearly a decade.
Pros: fine for 30k miles
Cons: car quest starter fail
Mileage: 48280 km
For those who are experiencing this one click issue and are frustrated as all hell, replace the starter. One week later, haven’t had any issues starting the car at all. In fact, the startup sounds even more powerful than it did before.
Pros: powerful startup sounds
Cons: one click issue

I submitted the VIN # to the dealer and he said it is the Bosch starter...$591...
Nedavno sam kupio dvije stvari isto za Mazdu - anlaser za 50€ (kod nas po oglasnicima rabljeni 250€, zamjenski novi 150-200€ ali trgovci na daju garanciju jer su loše kvalitete) i rail za 30€ (kojeg su mi prije narudžbe zamijenili u jednom poznatom Hr servisu i samo komad koji je nabavljen rabljen su mi naplatili 400€). Obje stvari što sam naručio su sad ugrađene u auto, rade bez problema. Naručeno stiglo poštom za 4 dana. Imaš i 14 dana povrat besplatno ako slučajno naručeni komad nije ispravan.
Pros: radi bez problema, brza dostava

Mazda

I bought this at a very low price from a store that was closing down. Shortly after installing it, the car started having intermittent long cranks. I spent weeks replacing other parts, but the issue persisted.
After researching on a Honda forum, I learned that the Honda Accord doesn't like aftermarket starters—many others had the same problem.
For Honda starters, it's best to buy a new OEM one or a good remanufactured one(from Denso). I wish I had known this beforehand.
Cons: intermittent long cranks
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
