1988 Honda Accord LXi review from North America
"Excellent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leak in the truck and in the sunroof. The driver side front power window motor is sluggish sometimes. The driver side headlight is dimmer than the other one even though they were replaced on the same day. Could use new tires, but it's no hurry. The lock on the glove box is broken and falls on the floor if you open the glove box.
General comments?
The manual transmission of this model car is really zippy and handles well. The car has a lot of room and is very sporty. It is an great first car even after 14 years. The car also has a pretty good stero system when used with a CD player.
