1990 Honda Accord LX review from North America

"The most reliable car I've known"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The exhaust system failed twice, both times at the muffler. There needs to be a bracket behind the muffler, because the weight snaps it off.

Ignition coil failed in extreme cold and possibly the ignitor, since both were replaced at the same time ($180)

CV joints have gone once ($400)

EGR system clogged with carbon and head needed cleaned. Caused car to stutter at mid RPMs ($100)

Factory stereo has a lot of static at times. Haven't replaced it... yet.

Looks like my radiator just started leaking. The part is $130 and I'll probably put it in myself.

Power locks weren't working when I bought the car.

Front coils broke and I replaced them with performance springs from H&R ($350 with labor)

General comments?

I do absolutely no maintenance on this car at all, other than oil changes and the timing belt/water pump change. I drive it hard and abuse it, and it never fails me.

The car could use more torque or something to get it up to speed, but it keeps me out of trouble.

I added lowering springs which helped the handling and look of the car.

I have all the confidence in the world this car will make it another 100,000 at least.

Out of six Hondas I have owned, this has been a lemon and I advise to avoid automatic transmissions!
