1988 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"A wolf in sheepskin"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The doors stick in the winter and sometimes freeze totally. I'm sure this would happen with any car.
The body is starting to form rust above the rear wheels and around the gas tank. Also, this happens with every car.
General comments?
The Honda Accord was one of the best models that Honda ever created. The S2000 and the new Prelude are, however, the best.
The handling is insanely good for a car so old. Although my suspension is very loose, the car responds instantly to every movement of the wheel.
My next car will probably be a brand new Prelude or Accord. The guys at Honda must really know what they are doing.
