1992 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Best car I have ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All the routine fluid changes have been done per the owners manual and mileage schedule.
I had to replace the radiator at 130,000 miles due to a small crack near the cap. Also replaced the timing belt and drive belts for the AC and power steering.
Replaced plug distributor and rotor at 140.000 miles.
Also have the left side CV joint replaced.
Had a leaking valve cover gasket that I replaced at 150,000. Also had to replace the counter balance shaft seal. Old seal failed and I lost all the engine oil.
Changed the original fuel filter at 150,000, and shortly after had to change the right CV half shaft.
At 165,000 miles I have to replace the exhaust system from the manifold back. The car had the original flex pipe and cat converter.
Replace the power antenna at 170,000.
I drive my car to work each day, distance to and from work is 184 miles per day and the Accord still get 29-30 miles per gallon.
General comments?
The car still gets great gas mileage.
The body and undercarriage are in wonderful shape. The car was undercoated by the original owners.
The interior is a bit loud as some of the window stripping needs replaced.
If I could find another 1992 Accord with 100,000 miles, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
