1989 Honda Accord LXi review from North America
"Geez, I only paid $5,000 for this?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Axles needed replacing at 100,000 miles.
Factory Radio stinks!
Driver Side seat is very worn.
A/C is mediocre.
Muffler needed replacing at 82,000 miles.
One set of breaks lasted me only 30,000 miles. (Brake manufacturer's fault)
Sunroof leaks.
Slight Rust.
Bottom plastic trim has faded.
Trim is falling apart.
General comments?
Though this car is the white elephant of the parking garage, it gets me where I need to go, and I still get 35 MPG!!
Though the car is falling apart on the outside, I guarantee you I can get at least 250,000 miles out of the engine.
