1983 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"One amazing vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing was changed on this car prior to 150,000 except Brake pads changed 3 times
timing belt (per manual)
General comments?
This was an amazing car. Wish now I had undercoated it prior to moving to NY otherwise I may still have it. For a car with 67 hp to be loaded with 4 people and pull a 16 ft Boston whaler up into the Adirondacks all the time I could not ask any more from a car. Doing all that and still getting over 30 MPG. I have had Hondas after this car and none have even come close to what that car could do. If Honda want to give Americans a car that really does everything the should bring this car back just as it was. I pounded this car and it never gave up.
