1998 Honda Accord DX review from North America
"A expensive failure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine block replace due to high oil consumpion at 20,000 miles. Catalytic converter replaced at 60,000 miles. Front brakes replaced at 100,000 miles.
Timing belt and pump at 90,000. Rings did not break in. New block, 4K for an new engine. Disappointed in this Accord.
Get one made in Japan is my advice, not Ohio, where the workers are...
