1976 Honda Accord 2 door hatch review from North America

Absolutely nothing. Just gave it to my grandson (who loves it so far) after 27 trouble free years with this car. Bought an 03 accord last fall, and so far have 10000 miles on it (My wife & I do a lot of traveling. We spend most of our retirement time vacationing all over the country). So far that one has been just as trouble free. Routine maintenance is all that ever had to be done with my 76. I will say this though, many of them had problems with rusting out bodies. The only reason mine stayed decent was because I have a climate controlled garage to keep it in.

Though it was mostly highway miles, I am very surprised at the way this car held up. My 72 civic was a good car, but was a little too small for my needs, but the Accord was just right. However, since the accord didn't come out until 1976, the civic was pretty much my only choice for a Honda in 72. The CVCC 4 cylinder (basically what the VTEC was in the 70s, of course with a lot less technology in it than the VTEC of today) was a good engine on the highway, & around town. Acceleration was adequate, but good fuel economy & reliability more than made up for that fault.
