1988 Honda Accord Grand Prix Edition review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good looking with performance to match"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the clutch 5 times.
Water pump pipes needed replacing every 40,000.
General comments?
Very stylish car, nice looks, pop up head lights. Very good mid range performance provided you have the manual transmission.
However extremely weak clutch, won't last more than 4 months if pushed hard.
