1982 Honda Accord SY review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great economy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox started to make bad sounds and was replaced ($200).
Electronic Ignition problem had our mechanic trying to figure it out for a week - it was arching the spark inside the distributor!! ($100)
A fair bit of rust through-out when we got it. Fix & Respray (Did it myself) $150.
Rear seat sun deteriorated (normal..)
General comments?
Great little car.
Not much for performance, but its only a 4 cylinder!
Very economic to run and very reliable.
