"Comfortable, but loud and underpowered"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Burns too much oil.

Car too heavy for a 4 cylinder engine.

5 speed struggles to pull the car along, constant downshifting while going up hills,

Rides very rough and stiff.

Paint chipping quickly on the front hood causing the hood to appear grey in some spots

Too much engine noise.

Brakes don't work to their potential, ABS light stays on after repeat visits back to the dealer.

Very difficult for the car to turn on in the morning.

General comments?

The car is overall too heavy for its engine size.

I have a Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan 1996 Auto Trans, and it suffers from all of that. Also because of the burning oil, my crank bearings are now bad, so my car is gone/dead. It is very comfortable, but IT SUCKS!!!
