1989 Honda Accord LXi Coupe review from North America
"Good $400 car for a 17 year-old"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to get new steering suspension when I got it, new upper left ball-joint and control and both outer tie-rod ends. Cost about $400.
Constant oil leak, add in about a quart a month.
Does not like working well while it is warm out: idles badly & Compact Disc Player cuts out when I accelerate, like it loses power.
General comments?
Car accelerates and responds very well, handles like a dream. Can beat my friends in 0-60 test.
Plenty of room, air conditioner & heater works well.
Don't like how my CD player always cuts out.
