1996 Honda Accord EXR review from North America
"This car will clean out your bank account"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings constantly wearing.
Oil pan.
Boots.
ABS sensor.
Brake lights.
Brake Lines (all of them).
Interior light.
Door switch always on.
Power windows quit.
Hood latch broke.
AC stopped working.
Interior heat control ceased.
General comments?
Maybe I'm just unlucky... but I'm very disappointed in this car. I'm reconsidering ever buying a Honda ever again. Toyota is looking very tempting. This is my first Honda and probably my last. I had better reliability with American cars (believe it or not).
Not much room in the car overall. Handles the corners great for what it is. Lots of speed. The brakes are not very good.
This car will clean out your bank account.
