1996 Honda Accord LX Sedan review from North America
"A great car to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just had the driver's side CV joint replaced when the boot broke open. Other items were replaced as normal wear. Tires, timing belt, battery, oil and filter, air filter, etc..
General comments?
The only thing I would change about my car would be to have more horse power. It gets great gas mileage on trips.
I am impressed with the with how the car had survived in a frontal crash I had. It was about 5500 dollars worth of damage and I had no injuries. The hood buckled as it should. The inside of the car was untouched in the crash.
