1982 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"A zippy reliable car"

Water pump failed
Alternator failed
Various electrical bugs (due to overcharging alternator)
Rear Brake hoses replaced
Carburetor replaced.
General comments?
This has been an execllent car for throughout it's entire life. I love driving it. It's not as refined as some of the newer Hondas, but it is still a great car. Very reliable, always starts right up. Very quick off the line, for it's configuration. Not a sports car, but it sure wants to be. Not fast, but feels like a rocket. I've driven much faster cars, but none convey the speed like this one does. Good throttle response and great gas mileage
