1992 Honda Accord EX-R review from North America
"This is a car made the way a car should be!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS light is on.
Daytime running lights no longer work.
A/C no longer works.
Check Engine light keeps coming on after 5 minutes of driving. (I assume an O2 sensor)
Small exhaust leak due to hole in pipe.
Some surface rust near wheel wells.
General comments?
I had another 1992 Accord previous to this one, but it was an EX with 310000km and I can't believe the difference between the model designations...
EX- Severe rust around wheel wells and rocker panels.
EX-R - Small amounts of surface rust.
EX- Major shake in steering wheel when going 100km+/h.
EX-R - Very responsive steering at all speeds.
EX- Interior falling apart especially on the doors.
EX-R - Interior still like the day it was bought.
EX- Seemed to be struggling to go up hills/ lacked power.
EX-R - Very powerful especially uphill.
