1992 Honda Accord LX review from North America

Left and right upper control arms busted and needed replacing.

Catalytic converter literally fell apart leaving pieces lodged in the exhaust system.

Back dog legs rusting out.

Bad oil leak.

Power steering line broke because it rusted out. (not a pleasant feeling loosing steering come down from an off-ramp).

Coolant hose needed replacing.

Transmission shift cable rusted out making it hard to shift from park.

Distributor went dead.

CV joints popped.

Front windshield severely cracked.

And for the big finisher... 2nd valve in the engine blew. I drove it for another week on 3 cylinders only because I needed transportation to work. Now the piece of junk is sitting in my old man's yard. For a Honda I couldn't believe the problems I had with this car. I don't know if it was abused by previous owners or maybe it had like 8 owners before me, but this car cost me thousands of dollars in repairs. I don't think I could bring myself to buy another Honda again, at least not a used one.

Peppy car from 0-60.

Somewhat lacking power on the highway, but still pretty good.

I like how you sit lower in the car giving it a more lower center of gravity. I hate feeling like I'm driving an SUV when I'm in a car.

The local mechanic that had the privelege to do all this work was very trustworthy and smart. He always diagnosed my problems quickly and his labour was cheap. Very good guy, but I bet he was feeling sorry for me by the end.
