1981 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"A reliable econobox"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The carburetor died soon after I b ought it. The seats were torn.
General comments?
The three speed auto really blunted performance. 70 m.p.h. required 4500 r.p.m. Top speed was about 100 m.p.h. at 5900 r.p.m. It was noisy. There wasn't enough headroom. Fuel economy was o.k. at 24 m.p.g.
