1994 Honda Accord EX review from North America

Leather seats on driver's side are pretty badly torn.

Back-lit lights for the dash instruments (ex: Clock, Fan control, temperature control, cruise control) do not light up.

Front left speakers have blown. (Most probably due to the need for more bass)

Pistons began to misfire at 158000 miles. Entire ignition system was replaced. (Approx. $150 for rotor, cap, plugs, wires)

Starter motor died around 159000. Motor replaced for $155.

This was the first car that I have owned entirely. Being that it had enough miles to put most cars in the junkyard (152000) I was somewhat concerned about what problems I might have to face. For the 9000 miles that I've owned this car, it has only made me appreciate Honda's more and more. Though I have had some not so minor problems, the cost and time to fix them were minimal. I don't drive with a lead foot, but I do know how to push a car close to it's limits. And this car can all the abuse and greed of a speed hungry racer. I am the third owner of this car and though the clutch has never been replaced it is still tight and has extremely limited slip at high revs. This car is reliable, has ample power, and completes the package with feature such as all power features and leather seats that makes it extremely out of the norm.
