1986 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Great reliable fun car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My seats started to wear out and rip so I ripped them out myself and put nice newer style of seats in. Stereo was ripped out the second I bought it and put an Alpine mp3 player in with 2 Alpine subs and 4 really nice 6 1/2" infinity speakers. There is a little rust gathering under the rear wheel wells, but I am guessing that this is expected from an 86. I mean come on it's an 86 right? Besides that never really had any problems with it. Great little car to get to and from school/work.
General comments?
This car has never steered me wrong yet and I recommend it for a first car to anyone looking to buy cheap yet reliable. Have some fun with it too you can make it look nice even being an 86 model. Put new seats or seat covers in and paint your dash or trim different colors.
