"Great value, that's why I also own a 1994 and a 1998!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A few coolant hoses needed replacing.

Low coolant causes the idle to pulsate.

Sun roof leaks in hard rain.

Transmission shudders between first and second (automatic). But it has been doing this since I purchased the car (8000 miles ago).

General comments?

I love this car. She's got 176,000 miles and still runs good as a daily driver (60 miles round trip per day).

I have owned many other makes of automobiles, but have never had as much success as with Honda.

The fuel injection, engine idle has been a mystery to me, but I finally found the right screws to slow her down.

All things considered it has been a good car.

My son owned it the first year and only drove it two miles to school and back. This is hard on a car as it never gets warmed up. She never balked and is now running well for me. If anything major happens to her I will let her die in peace and marvel at Honda's engineering capabilities.

I have the same idle problem, but I can't seem to find the right screw wish you could help me out on that ;)
