1988 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"How do you spell reliability... A-c-c-o-r-d"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
By the time I bought the car, the seats had been well worn, and slight rust had begun to form over the rear wheel well.
The clutch was serviced and adjusted soon after I bought it.
Besides what "came" with the car, regular maintenance was the only time the car was serviced.
General comments?
Honda Accords are amazing. Especially the models with the manual transmissions. My car handled better than any other car of its age, due to it's four wheel independent double wishbone suspension, had enough power, and consistently showed impressive gas mileage. How long would have my Accord have gone? Due to a deer, I'll never know.
