1997 Honda Accord SE review from North America
"An Excellent Choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger Pwr Window (after 8yrs), Air Conditioning never worked well Died after 3yr. Head Gasket and Transmission Gasket starting to go at 173,000 kms. Car was bulitproof no real problems. The above issues were due if you will execpt for the AC.
General comments?
This was my 1st brand new car, It was extremely reliable never let me down. I drove the car really hard during the 1st 5-6yrs to the point of abusing it. It was great on gas, I can't find anything wrong with the car execpt for the AC. Overall the car was execellent and I would recomend it to anyone who is looking for a reliable troublefree daily driver. Handeling was good after lowering it 2 inches it was execellent, it wasnt the fastest car, but for what it was no complaints. It did everything well espically breaking.
