1984 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Great to drive, but high failure rate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Practically everything has gone wrong. This is the first "bad luck" car I have owned. It was previously my mother's car and she had practically everything replaced over the years. Just last week the head gasket blew. The carburetor was replaced last month. I'm used to cars running with less maintenance.
General comments?
Nice to drive in general. I really like it and it's a pity the repairs have been so extensive. I've owned several Toyotas with more than 200k and practically no problems.
