1989 Honda Accord DX review from North America

New front brake pads once a year.

Parking lights come on when I use the brakes, so do the dash lights.

Front passenger safety belt doesn't always lock into place.

Re-manufactured alternator at 175000 miles.

New tie rods, CV joints, and another re-manufactured alternator at 190,000miles.

Occasionally grinds going into 3rd gear with clutch all the way down.

Replaced all radiator/heater hoses at 195,000 miles.

I bought this car May 2004. They wanted $1,800 for her. I saw her & fell in love. She was in great shape, and it was evident that she was well maintained. I talked them down to $1,200 cash, and in the past (almost) 2 years I feel I got every dollars worth out of her.

I've, since purchase, put 30,000-40,000 miles on her. Drove her from Nebraska to Florida and back without incident. Drove her back and forth through NE, IA, and MO. We've gone driving and camping all over these 3 states together, and I can always count on her. I was also surprised at how comfortable the back seat was when I forgot my tent!

My Honda is fun to drive! I like the way she handles. She's got enough power to get the job done, and I love shifting those gears!

Overall, she's a great car! She's going to hit 200,000 miles by the end of the month, and I'm expecting to drive her at least 100,00 more!!
