1984 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"A reliable bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Steering went out at about 210,000 miles.
One front lamp doesn't work on low beam.
Cruise control doesn't work. It hasn't worked since I bought the car.
General comments?
This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. For the most part, it has been a great asset to my family.
My Honda is easy on gas and I have not had to put any money into repairs.
Now listen to this statement. "It has Never Not started!" That is fantastic considering that it is 19 years old!
I bought this car for $700 from someone I didn't know. I didn't even take the time to check the car's background. This is not the way to buy a car. I took a chance at it. It has paid off. I needed a car to get me to work which was about 2 miles from my home. I wasn't looking for a fast or flashy vehicle. My Honda is neither of these. I was looking for a very cheap car that was reliable. That's what this car is!
This car has little "get up" ,but lots of "go". That is to say, it has very little acceleration but it does get you where you are going.
You can tell I love this car. You might enjoy getting one also. Please check the car's backgroud, though.
