1989 Honda Accord LXi review from North America
"Reliable, quick, economical - Great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced oil filter O-Ring.
Slight coolant leak, possible cracked head gasket.
General comments?
I love this car. The engine is peppy and has great pull, and the handling is spectacular. It's a very comfortable ride, though not as comfortable as my previous car (1986 Camry). The engine note is utterly beautiful, has a much more aggressive growl than your normal 120 horsepower engine. The fact that it's still running beautifully after 213,000+ miles of abuse is a testament to the amazing quality of these cars. You simply can't go wrong with any Accord, especially a 3rd-generation fuel injected one.
