1985 Honda Accord LXi review from North America
"Good first car for teen"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vacuum Leak at 250,000
Other than that, all regular maintenance.
General comments?
This car is awesome. Bought it for $900, and it is incredible. Never replaced clutch or had any major problems with it. It still has enough power to burn out, and the assisted variable power steering is also very technologically advanced for an 86. One bad thing- 86 was the first year Accords had Electronic Fuel Injection, so the engine has a few rough edges, so examine carefully.
