1981 Honda Accord LX Hatchback review from North America
"Great first car for us poor kids"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Outer CV joints made click noise when turning- replaced = $35.00 used part.
Old Rack & Pinion leaked - replaced for $50.00 used part.
New Carpet because it was sitting for 4 years.
General comments?
This car was cheap, $200.00 was all I paid. It basically reliable. Even though it's so old, it still can run like some normal cars today and it can run on the freeway just fine. This car is prefect for a teens first car, it can be driven into the ground and will keep on going.
