1988 Honda Accord LX-i review from North America
"Accords never break"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shocks were replaced two times.
Ball joints were replaced.
Control arms were replaced.
Brakes were replaced two times.
A few other suspension problems.
General comments?
Most of the problems I had with this car were strictly related to the suspension.
This is contributed by the broken Michigan roads. If the roads were good, I was never going to have any problem with this car.
Acceleration is adequate.
This car will never die.
Even at 288k miles, it burns a millimeter of oil on the dipstick every 3000 miles. Amazing isn't it?
