1982 Honda Accord LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great car for teens starting out!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A tiny bit of rust on roof only.
Water pump needed to be replaced.
Speakers blew, but I soon replaced the whole sound system with a $400 one.
General comments?
This is my first car, I'm 18 and just finished high school. My uncle gave it to me looking like rubbish, I fixed it up and now it looks great. The car has great fuel economy so running costs are low.
Great little zippy car, gets around pretty quick. I don't think its wise to pull a trailer with it, but it sure is powerful enough to carry 5 people safely and comfortably.
The car has never really broken down or has it been on a tow truck.
