1989 Honda Accord EX review from Finland
"A good looking car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes.
Front springs.
General comments?
Reliable, comfortable and economic car. Steering is light and the engine is still running smoothly, giving no hints about getting old. Compression pressures are still at setup value and exhaust gas values are perfect. Starts well in cold wind and weather.
Some rust and oil leakage however. Replaced some consuming parts, windscreen, exhaust pipe, cooler and front springs. Gas tank hatch was frozen once in the gas station, and did not open. By using an hear dryer, it was opened.
