1989 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"If I could, I would buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not very much has gone wrong with my car, but I have had bad luck with it.
My tranny blew on me at roughly 280000km.
My clutch also went on me about 5 months ago.
My ball joint is about to fall off and my brakes are done.
It burns oil slightly, maybe one quart per week.
I have holes in the floor and the body rusts easily.
General comments?
First, I am an 18 year old male with a heavy foot.
All the problems encountered above are probably explained by the burn outs and showing off.
I think that the cost was relatively cheap for the amount of driving and stupidities I have done.
Great, reliable car.
I love it and would recommend it to anyone.
