1990 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Quick, well priced, hidden sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
* Right window doesn't completely roll up in one spot and makes whistling noise.
* Glove box is misaligned and the light stays on.
* A few rattling noises.
* Trunk doesn't really leak, but allows water to get in through condensation. It makes the trunk smell moldy.
General comments?
* The 5 speed transmission is actually quite quick. Can take lots of other cars.
* Tight handling, feels real sporty.
* Amazing room in the back seats. Feel like you're in the front (2 door).
* Engine has very nice sound.
* Axle bearing went though. Makes a clunking noise when you turn.
