1991 Honda Accord DX Coupe review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
* Radiator hose has leaked.
* Needed tire camber adjusted.
* Shakes in reverse.
These problems are probably from running it too hard. My Accord has been airborne. It can beat mostly stock Civics, Neons, Cavaliers, Celicas, Jettas, Saturns and runs even with auto V6 Camaros and Firebirds. You just need to leave it in drive 1 when you take off, then move the handle up to drive 2, then 4 when it starts to slow down.
General comments?
The Accord is my first car I've had for about 2 years. Very happy having a model DX coupe, it's rather rare.
Added an intake and Apex exhaust. Added clear headlights,corners and bumpers. Looking for Altezza style lights for the back. Also added carbon fiber "H" emblems on the front, back and steering wheel.
Although, I wish it were stick. The sport button is always on... the Accord is the only car I've seen one on.
Very sporty and reliable. I'm happy.
