2002 Acura 1.7 EL review from North America
"Perfect... up to 70, 000 km"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- The back hatch stopped working
- The automatic switch broke
- The heat shield rested off at 80,000 km
- Ball bearings are already gone
- Rev's at 4000rpm when doing 130km
General comments?
I am eager to sell this car. At about 70,000 km the problems started, and have kept on getting worse.
Unless you do anything to the motor, it is somewhat quick, but not fast.
It is not a reliable car. You are better off buying a Civic... it is just like it, but with an A instead of an H on the front.
