1989 Honda Accord EX-i review from North America

Not a thing. There are the tiniest spots where rust might form. The paint is old on this 14 year old car and needs to be redone. The sun has taken its toll over the years. Other than that it must have been maintained. It was a rental car, then owned by some guy who fixed up Hondas, and now I own it.

I love it! Its my first car and I believe I made a great selection. The engine seems to run like the day it was new. The floor has water under the driver side mat all the time, though. As well my passenger's feet are always cold with cold air blowing in on the highway. I believe there must be a leak in the ventilation or something near the firewall. The people who owned it before me must have thought it was the windshield because they put tons of black silicone sealant around the windshield. There don't seem to be any leaks around the sunroof. Theres barely any rust up there at all which is a surprise. The electronics all work perfectly. I have the stock stereo driving brand new 180w replacement speakers (JVCs in the front and Sony X-Plods in the back). It sounds great. I've used it on trips to Toronto and Ottawa from Peterborough without a problem other than the cold feet on the passenger's side.

One other thing. When I first got it a sensor or something must have been dirty or faulty. When I go to park the car and its idling after running for a while it would oscillate between 1k and 2k RPMs and never settle down. This seems to have stopped happening, though.
