1992 Honda Accord EX Coupe review from North America
"A fun, smart and good looking car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power windows "sticking" a bit when rolled down. Problem solved with dry Teflon spray along the seals.
Concerned about the transmission.
Appears to be a slight leak at valve cover. Not major, expected for a vehicle with 125,000 miles!
General comments?
I bought this car to get me through college. It is an attractive car, and fun to drive. Fairly comfortable considering my 6'3" height.
The mileage was a little high for my taste, but it was very well taken care of. I had it inspected by a Honda dealership, as well as a private mechanic. Both gave me the thumbs up, so I bought her!
So far, I am very pleased, but I have only owned it a week or so. I do have some concern about the automatic transmission. It does feel jerky at times. It is less jerky if I give it more gas. I'm not sure whether it is a problem, or just a characteristic of front wheel drive cars. If this is a problem, I would appreciate any feedback as to how much a replacement transmission or rebuild costs.
I got a good deal, and would like to keep the car. Again, it is very clean and looks great.
