1989 Honda Accord LXI review from North America
"A real sporty family sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lower ball joints seem to wear out easily.
The brakes seem undersized for the performance of the car.
Oil pan leaks a little, along with the rear seal.
General comments?
At 193,000 plus miles, the engine and transmission seem to be in perfect running condition.
The power steering that self adjusts to road speed, takes awhile to get used to.
Seats are somewhat firm, but OK, lot's of visibility in general. And a great highway high speed cruiser.
