1997 Honda Accord review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
EVERYTHING! THIS CAR BLOWS CHUNKS!
My engine overheated because of a bad hose and the head cracked. I went to dealer and crazy people charge me 7,200.00 to fix this thing. OMG! I never had a worse vehicle because that wasn't the only thing. It couldn't move out of it's own way and made too many noises that it made me nervous. oh sheesh... don't buy this.
General comments?
Pretty much everything is bad, ripped seats, my exhast broke off at 100,00 mls when I hit a bump, mirror broke and I put it back on with zip ties. I just don't know sighhhhh. OK, one rim bent, engine blew, radio was stolen and didn't work anyway, blow speakers, 2 windows would now go down, hit bumps and the car makes really scary noises, someone told me that it was prolly a bad motor mount I don't know. well I could've made it futher with a shopping cart...
