2008 Honda Accord LX review from Nigeria
"Overpriced monster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Impact with the ground.
Fractured engine oil sump.
Passenger airbag activated prematurely.
General comments?
The car is not designed to withstand ground impact.
The aluminum engine oil sump is the lowest component that will take the hit. (Steel is a far better option for an exposed sump.)
Dealer service is rustic and overpriced. New oil sump is not in stock. Dealer cannot provide the detailed specification of LX, EX and EX-L. LX came with only 2 airbags (what a shame).
