1995 Honda Accord EXi-S review from Australia and New Zealand
"Nice, but I like it more than I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much, had a cracked engine mount when I bought it.
The headlights keep blowing bulbs.
Leather is extremely low quality and cracks easily.
Heater core is leaking.
Intermittent ABS fault.
Drivers window is creaky when it goes down.
Remote locking is broken.
General comments?
Generally reliable for its' age, fit and finish is excellent. Car started first time after being left in a blizzard.
The car is very economical on long trips (Auckland -> Wellington has been done on one tank before), but around town it drinks too much.
Performance is decent, but it's hardly a drivers car.
Well equipped car, but the seats hurt my back after a few hours.
Ultimately a bland car though that I have no emotional attachment to.
NB: This is the US-shape model.
