1992 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Superb reliability at a reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front CV joints were bad when I purchased the car - $250.
The power antenna was bent, so I had to buy a whole new unit - $50.
Oil is dripping (minor) from the rear main seal, according to the local auto shop - $500 they're not getting.
The automatic transmission shifts kind of hard - $??
The car has unreasonably slow acceleration under 2,000 RPMs. I don't know if it is because of the fuel injectors or the engine timing. It is also the reason I get poor gas mileage. I only get about 250 miles per tank, but the tank is 17.9 gallons! According to other reviews at 30miles per gallon, I should be getting 500 miles per tank! It WILL be getting fixed this Christmas.
General comments?
For a car that is 10 years old, I think that I am very lucky to have such a reliable car. These problems are minor when you consider the age.
Even though I have only had this car for four months, I am extremely pleased with this automobile and I would buy another one in a heartbeat!
Honda's are probably the most reliable cars on the road today, and they will be receiving my business in the future.
