1987 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Cheap in-city transport"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wheel supports rusted and failed.
Alternator lazy, not charging the battery well enough. Battery flat in mid-winter.
Front CV joints.
Fuel filler cap area has terrible rust.
General comments?
Cheap, with a reliable engine.
Interior is still perfect.
Recommended to those looking for a car to last 'till you can afford a better one.
