1996 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"It's a Honda; Enough said"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing went wrong with the car for the entire time I had it.
General comments?
I loved this car. It was indestructible. I was once rear-ended by a Buick Roadmaster going 25 MPH and it only damaged the bumper!
It was very comfortable to drive and was great for my 100 mile daily commute.
I traded it in for a Nissan Maxima in 2002 when it had 188,000 miles. It never gave me any trouble, and the only money I spent on it was basic maintenance (oil changes, gas, etc.)
