1985 Honda Accord review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap and reliable. A great first car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Motor is starting to leak oil.
Starter motor just starting to die now (2003)
Struts on boot are worn out, and will need to be re-gassed shortly.
General comments?
Lovely car to drive.
Cheap and reliable. A good choice for first time car buyers.
Plenty of boot space.
Leg room for backseat passengers limited.
