1985 Honda Accord LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good reliable transport continued"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is an update from previous posting of good reliable transport in 2002.
Since then the muffler has been replaced.
More rust has appeared in the areas mentioned previously. Using a rust kill paint has stopped it spreading, but it is very hard to stop in the roof under the rubber strips.
General comments?
This car is very reliable and never has any problems come warranty of fitness time.
It is still running well and I think the body may go before the motor. The car has been rustproofed, but that hasn't stopped it going in the same places. I have noticed other accords to be the same.
