1990 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"A stylish, highly reliable, long term car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My master cylinder blew on the clutch at 174,000 miles.
I replaced the brake rotors at 176 thousand miles because they were too thin to re-grind.
General comments?
My Honda Accord LX is a dream.
I purchased it for about 4 grand and it's been more reliable than many new cars out there.
The Accord is more than competent in all respects.
I love the low look of the older models and find the new Accords to be a bit too pedestrian.
I sometimes wish it had a V-6, but the 4 cylinder works well when revved hard.
