1994 Honda Accord VT-i review from Australia and New Zealand
"Will buy again, but a newer model"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It is 2nd hand car with very low km. Very clean.
* Blown muffler. (middle section) - cheap to fix it.
* Front and back shock absorber is bit soft. (Thinking about changing it - how is the stock shock? Are they expensive?)
* Transmission bit jerks... when I change from 2nd to 3rd. Mechanic told me that might be bad transmission oil. Honda only uses genuine oil... transmission is very sensitive... will see after we change the oil.
* From back I heard some noise... that might be from bad shock or something. Don't know what it is. I could only hear it when I drive on rough roads. It sounds like some kind of rattling sound.
Anyone know what this could be?
General comments?
At the moment, there are few things I need to change, but all the things are working.
I don't think it is quick car, but good enough for me to drive around.
Very clean car. No oil leaks.
No water leak from the sunroof yet.
