1981 Honda Accord review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where do I begin! This was undoubtedly the worst car I have ever had in terms of maintenance. There were so many problems with it. On the 1st cold day of the year, it would never start. We had to call the tow-truck at least once a year. Also, the side doors would never open when it was cold outside. We had to change the clutch on it when we first got it. Finally, the metal on the body began to rust so badly that the car began to shake when we tried to brake. The only choice we had was to get rid of it. It was definitely a piece of junk.
General comments?
Just one sentence, buying that Accord was a waste of my time and money!
