1990 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Maurice is his name and I'd never get rid of him"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side view mirror is held by duct tape.
Rear view mirror is unable to maintain its position. Currently held in place with gaffer's tape.
Radio antennae does not go all the way down. Instead, it makes a grinding noise that sounds like a mechanical fart when it's retracting.
Glove compartment is misaligned so the light is always on.
Passenger side seat does not slide all the way back.
Sideview mirrors must be adjusted by hand.
Ignition timing is off especially in hot weather. Eventually, the car will start, but it's a matter of patience.
Rims are cracked.
General comments?
Hugs turns extremely well.
Seats are very comfortable.
Power steering is responsive and accurate.
Survived major accident sliding down an icy hill and T-boning a car at 35 mph.
The car doesn't look like a 13-year old car, especially after a good thorough washing.
Acceleration is quite decent.
