1990 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Reliable little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch needs replaced so it can't really be driven right now. (this is typical for a manual car to have to replace the clutch)
My Rear tail light doesn't work, tried a new bulb, but it didn't work. It's probably in the wiring I'll have to get to it later.
Valve Cover Seal leaks fluently (common for a 16 year old car) about a $15 seal.
Timing needs re-adjusted, but again common for a car of its age.
Both Passenger and Driver Door Handles busted.
Rust on one passenger side of car behind the rear fender wells.
All other cosmetic issues were due to previous owner's negligence.
General comments?
ALWAYS STARTS even at -35 degrees!!!
Can't really rate the power yet since the clutch is unresponsive.
It's comfortable and reliable and I can't wait to get it fixed!!!
Very Fuel Efficient.
