1992 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"For as much as I paid, $3500.00, I would have wanted something more reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car drove and handled fine at first. However, within 12 months of having it the transmission began to fail. The transmission would not shift at all while in drive and was stuck in 2nd gear. While on the Interstate going 70 mph the RPM's go up over 5,000. While stopped at red-lights I have to manually place the car in 1st gear or it takes forever to accelerate. I took it to a car mechanic who said this would take $1,500.00 to repair and I do not have the money right now.
In April of 2003 the turn signals just randomly stopped working. There was no blown fuses and all the bulbs worked as does the hazard light function.
The door upholstery has begun to peal off for no reason.
The door handles interior silver covering has begun to peel off.
General comments?
Not too bad of a unit. I think the previous owner did not take care of this car as well as they should have.
Handles very well. Friends are amazed.
Seats are uncomfortable for trips over one hour.
Trunk is large.
Not much legroom for taller persons.
