1992 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Lean, mean driving machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belts have gone. If it goes wrong in a Honda, it's the timing belts. This model unfortunately has TWO.
Not much else has any wear or tear.
No rust on the body despite constant exposure to the outside.
After two years of driving this car, it is now with two options for heat: hot, or whatever temperature it is outside.
General comments?
The car handles supremely well. The faster it goes, the better it drives. Cruise control is nice to have, and the brakes are very responsive.
The interior is extremely roomy compared to the Corolla, and despite the two doors, it carries five passengers much more comfortably than a Toyota.
Air conditioning and cup holders would be nice, but they are not a must.
The quality of the stock speakers leave something to be desired as the deck produces great sound, but unfortunately the speakers were very easily blown. The remedy will be very expensive as there are four speakers to replace.
No road noise.
Great on gas, and it wonderfully has a huge gas tank so it is not constantly needing to be refueled.
