1991 Honda Accord SE review from North America
"This car is kicking butt and taking names"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distributor is the "Achilles Heal" of the Accord, however it only cost about 40$ and a half our of my time to replace. I also replaced the both front CV joints at 110,000. Although new CV joints are only about 100$ total, they take forever to install. Except for those, only regular maintenance.
General comments?
This is an absolutey amazing car. I bought it with 75000 miles and have put another 100000 miles on it about 4 years. Although it only has a 4 banger I have smoked many cars with 6 cylinder engines. The se model is nice because it is loaded with a leather interior, power moonroof, windows, mirrors etc. I would recommend this car to anyone. I have only upgraded a couple of things: Racing Computer Booster, HO Exhaust and New Acura rims. Most people always recommend accords for a "good first car", but the truth of the matter is even if I had a million dollars I would still buy another 91'Accord with no questions asked. The only other car that I have ever owned that is as high quality as this is my 96VW Jetta Trek Edtion. The only thing I would change about it is the lower hp. It could use a little extra horse power for the fast and the curious. This is the best car ever.
