Power lock on driver door doesn't lock properly. Have to manually lock it with key.
Master cylinder leaks at 170,000km.
Speed sensor went at 170,000km.
Antenna broke off during winter months as it was didn't go down and trunk was inadvertently closed on it.
Transmission shifting gears is harsh at times.
Sometimes have to turn steering wheel to turn ignition on.
Heater went at 165,000km. Needed to replace circuit board.
The car is very reliable, sporty and still trendy looking for being a 1991 model.
The paint job I have is still original and looks great.
Gas mileage is really good on the highway, average for city traffic.
Engine still purrs like a kitten.
I just bought a 1991 Honda Accord Ex yesterday, and I must say that at 175,000 miles, it still drives like a new car. I must agree with the person who wrote the statement about having to manually lock the doors, antenna broken, speedometer sensor out, and sometimes my check engine light comes on too. But knowing that It's a Honda, I feel comfortable about my decision of buying this car.
Your driver side door lock isn't broken. it is some kind of safety feature added to the locks. while the door is opened you have to pull the handle out (inside or out, don't matter) and then press the door lock down. I hope this can help you out. good luck with your accord.
