1995 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I don't understand the fascination with Hondas?
My wife is high on them too, after this being our third one with all 3 being nothing but problem after problem after problem, I have finally convinced her we will not buy another!
It all started out with brake linings, no problem, I consider that a maintenance item, not really a repair, but after 4K on new linings it needed them again GRRRR! This time the mechanic replaced the calipers and rotors, thinking that will make them last; well it worked, but I could almost buy a used car for the price of having all that replaced, since even the parts seem to priced at a premium over other cars.
Next we have 2) 02 sensors go bad; bam another $300.
Fuel pump; Just under $500.
P/s Pump and rack OUCH $1200.
Idle control valve solenoid $300.
Computer module $1600.
General comments?
I have more in parts than I paid for the car to begin with, AND I'm not even counting the normal stuff like plugs, wires, belts, hoses, struts, shocks, tires, filters.
I hate these cars now!
