2004 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Best car I ever owned, period"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has failed on the car, other than normal wear items, ie: windshield wiper blades, replaced both headlight bulbs and a new set of tires.
Very low maintenance car. Basically all I do is change the oil and rotate the tires every 10-12000km. I use Castrol Syntec. Lower maintenance than a Civic.
I changed the front brake pads at around 160000km and the rotors looked like new. Didn't require the usual turning of the rotors.
General comments?
Great car. Wonderful engine. The manual tranny makes all the difference.
