1994 Honda Concerto review from UK and Ireland
"Good, reliable, cheap car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof occasionally didn't shut - just kept retrying till it did.
ABS light constantly on - common fault due to ABS sensor failure.
Drivers electric window gave up the ghost - taped it up and kept going.
Exhaust back box developed a large hole.
Couple of bulbs.
2 tyre's due to punctures.
Windscreen due to fight with stone.
General comments?
For the age and price, the Concerto is a very well spec'd car. How many other cars of this age and class had toys like electric sunroof, 4 electric windows, electric heated mirrors, ABS, alloy wheels, spoiler etc?
Very comfy car to drive, and I'd know as I've had many Friday night jaunts up the M5 and back down again on a Sunday (spent 6 months working in Cornwall on site).
Reliability wise it never let me down, and it handled well enough. The power was there if needed for overtaking, and it wasn't too slow getting there either.
