1988 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"A great inexpensive car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My alternator went out at 154,000.
The thermostat stuck at 155,000.
The starter went out at 158,000.
The power antenna has never worked.
Cruise control quit at 145,000.
General comments?
This car is quick yet comfortable.
No problems you wouldn't expect from a car with 150K+.
Most reliable car ever owned.
