1987 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Am in tears to see it go"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal brakes, tires, maintenance stuff.
Replaced carburetor. Twice. Still didn't fix problem (which was that the carb was running out of fuel?).
General comments?
Sporty, zippy, comfortable, easy to drive, well-designed, and very reliable.
I was really hoping to get 300,000 miles out of it, but the classic fuel line problems are doing it in.
Would buy another one for reliability alone, but standard transmissions are hard to find in these "family cars."
