2002 Acura 1.7 EL Premium review from North America
"A very nicely dressed up Honda Civic - stylish and fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was a startling amount of work done (under warranty) at the 24k service -
new front struts.
New clutch hydraulics.
Driver's seat mechanism.
Other than that - nothing! I have not had to pay for one single repair - just maintenance.
General comments?
A very refined and reliable car! I enjoy driving it very much - the engine is powerful and flexible and the transmission is very smooth.
I find the interior a little noisy and slightly tight for my 6' self. Long trips can be uncomfortable.
