1986 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Worst car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This by far has been the worst car I have ever owned. The Buick Park Ave. bought at about the same mileage went 256,000 miles with only $600 of non maintenance repairs. (I do all my own repairs thus these are parts only charges). I spent over $2,000 in parts for this car and seemed like as soon as I repaired one thing another went wrong. (CV Joints, Seat Belts, Fuel Intake, Fuel Pump, Head Light Wiring, Fuel Injectors, Etc, Etc, Etc) If you had a dealer or garage do the above repairs you would be looking at least $6,000 in repairs. It was a money pit. The Chevy Impala I had prior went close to 254,000 miles before retiring. Another great car with few and inexpensive repairs.
