1990 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"It is the best transportation value in the history of automobiles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have ever had is a failing alternator. I recognized the problem and replaced it before it broke down on me. Accords of that year had no dashboard voltmeter so I installed my own parts-store voltmeter below the steering wheel near my right knee. Now I can monitor my charging system and never fear another failed alternator.
General comments?
It is the best production car ever built for reliability and longevity categories. If you take care of them, they will run for hundreds of thousands of trouble free miles.
