1996 Honda Accord EX/EXR review from North America
"Quality beyond re-approach!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've only had this car for about a month now, but I've put more miles in this car than I thought. In the first week of ownership, I've put a total of 1255 miles in the car. I've been up and down the Washington coast with it and it's proven itself to be a typical Honda, which pretty much means no big problems. None at all with this car. I've only had to change the oil & filter, but that's typical. Great car!
General comments?
To begin with, I've always driven Honda products such as Honda cars, and Acura cars. Their reliability is beyond re-approach. Their track record is one of the best in the industry and therefore, I willl continue to purchase Honda products. I bought this 96 Accord EX-L about some 260 miles away from where I live. The ride is outstanding especially since it has leather upholstery. It's quiet and the engine can at times be noisy, but it gets the job done and it does it very well.
