1995 Honda Accord LS review from North America
"Cheap for a first car, but get rid of it soon!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The drivers side window regulator destroyed itself one morning. There was no evidence leading up to it either. While putting up the window (they are electric) the back end suddenly started rising while the front part of the window dropped. Took off the door panel and all the metal supporting the window was destroyed and completely unrepairable.
The passengers interior door handle broke off one day, a small problem, but a very distressing one as there is no way out of that door now.
Drivers side door sensor went one day and I have gone through 3 of them the past 2 months. Checked clearance from the sensor to the door and is within allowable limits.
General comments?
Overall it's not a bad car, just don't want to stick around and see what happens later with it.
It's not very quick, but it'll cruise on the highway and a single gear down-shift is sufficient for overtaking, unless your on a 2 lane road.
Seats are nice for short trips. After you hit the 2 hour mark you start getting sore and loose feeling in your back... it's that bad!
