1986 Honda Accord LX review from Chile
"A very dependable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has a pulsating brake pedal when the brakes are applied, but this started after a visit to a brake shop, so I think it's their fault.
General comments?
The car is very well built, everything looks fine, the upholstery looks like new.
I recently hit a 1.5 feet high rock that I didn't see, the car went through over it, the oil pan was seriously damaged as was the exhaust pipe, the engine hit the hood making a dent on it, also the engine mounts were bent. But the engine kept running allowing me to return safely home. I wonder if another car would have survived in an accident like this.
