1998 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Terrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission failed (mfg defect) at 50,000.
Replacement failed last month at 80,000.
Manufacturing defect was clutch plate (1-2 gear) installed backward.
General comments?
Liked the car until it started failing transmissions.
Now I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata; will never buy Honda again.
