1991 Honda Accord DX review from North America
"This is a fine automobile!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a problem with the sport shifter. It comes on inappropriately. When this occurs, the transmission will not shift higher than 2nd gear. It will switch back and forth, sometimes gearing back down to 2nd gear from 4th. I am afraid I will need a transmission computer or if not, the crooked NY/NJ dealers will try to make me believe I need a new transmission.
The antenna is shot. It broke and the motor is finished too.
The automatic seat belt takes my head off sometimes.
The motor mounts had to be replaced.
General comments?
This is a great car when the sports shifter is behaving itself by remaining off.
The handling is good.
The car rides well.
There is enough head room. I can wear a hat in there.
