1991 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"I will never buy anything other than honda ever again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had very little problems with this car. I have replaced the distributor at about 158,000 miles ($400), which as from what I understand is one of the only downfalls to the 4th generation accord. I replaced the break master cylinder at around 164,000 miles ($58). I had to replace the inside door handle on the drivers door ($24) due to cracking which is one of the other weak links in these cars. everything else that had been done to this car is regular maintenance like breaks ($48 for life time replacement), oil changes (about every 6,000 miles), tires (approximately $250) and a driver side c.v. shaft ($63). in the total of 4 years I have owned this car the maintenance total is around $900 total. which comes down to about $225 per year. not bad for maintenance record on a 12 year old car?
General comments?
I bought this car for my girlfriend and loved it so much that I bought myself another 91 lx 5 speed which got totaled in 2002 so I replaced it with yet again another accord, 93 dx 5 speed this time.
This car has nice performance and handles better than any other family sedan I have ever seen.
I wouldn't trade this car for anything else that I have ever driven.
If you ever have the need for a great car that's reliable and have the chance to buy a 90 - 93 accord, do it, you won't regret it.
