2000 Honda Accord LX SEDAN review from North America
"A sad and sorry excuse for a modern car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's more like what HASN'T gone wrong with the car.
Transmission went out at 20,000 miles.
Both CV joints broke, leaked, and burnt up at 18,000 miles.
Head gasket at 15,500 miles.
Slow acceleration for a V6.
Replacement transmission shuddered and jerked when down-shifting.
This car built like a soda can, it dents very easily.
General comments?
Overall, I am very dissatisfied with the quality, performance, fit and finish and especially the dealer service. My Cadillac Fleetwood went 120,000 miles with hardly a peep of trouble. Cadillac, now that's a real automaker. I will never be fooled into buying a Honda again.
