1985 Honda Accord from North America - Comments

Has 320k miles on it, sounds impressive but it took 5 automatic transmissions to get it there. Cheap body & interior.

Learned the hard way to buy American.

What do you expect with an automatic with such low horsepower.

You probably got a lemon, it happens. Also, the car has extremely high k's! Don't shut the door on Honda for one lemon. Any Honda will outlast any North American car @ any given time.

It's funny for you to say that you'd prefer an American car to a Japanese Honda! Are you crazy? Hmmm... let's see... Accord... Buick (burst out laughing). Have a nice time with your 'American' car. LOL

In, the future, do a better job fixing your transmission; a tranny that has been driven to the moon and back will not last long in an American car either.

I am glad you've seen the light and decided to buy an american car. Yes let's help the japanese economy instead of ours by buying their cars. Any american car will last just as long, if not longer, with the same amount of car and maintenance that people put into their Hondas.

Bad luck on that. My Honda is still glorious at 20. It has a nice, smooth, drive that's easy to maneuver and has a quick acceleration. Power steering fabulous, no matter what speed you're at it still glides. Exterior good as new as well. I guess you got a rotten apple of the bunch. Those Japanese know what they're doing. ^_^

These people make me laugh... hysterically. There are taxes put on these imported auto's that assist our own economy. Regardless, after having personally maintaining all my cars, I will gladly take a Honda over a Chevy any day. I demolished an S10, Camaro, Tracker, Blazer and Sunfire... All twice as fast as I did my old Corolla. Yes, I realize the Corolla is a Toyota, but if its any example of what a Honda can take, in terms of abuse and durability, I will gladly shun the American auto-makers and defect to the land of the Rising Sun for my transportation needs.
