1993 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Inferior Japanese junk- never again!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake rotors warped at least once a year.
Head gaskets.
Manifold faskets.
Fuel pump.
Water pump.
Transmission jolted the whole car while downshifting.
Absolutely no power or acceleration whatsoever, compares to the Dodge Onmi/Chevy Chevette.
Weak engine, can't take abuse. Like any Honda, push it a little and it will overheat and fail.
Engine will not stay timed.
Climate controls have failed at least 3 times.
General comments?
Honda's quality is way overrated. The sheet metal on this car is so thin, you could lean on it and dent it. This car was pampered and still couldn't seem to run right.
This is one of the worst performing cars I've ever driven. It's pretty embarrassing to get blown away at the stoplight by a Chevy Celebrity.
Ride and handling were OK. Fairly roomy and comfy interior too.
I've had every sensor possible break on the motor, again and again and again. I'd take my first car, (a '65 Falcon), any day over this rice burning loser-mobile. It was a car that ran well, drove well, put up with abuse and never failed me.
