1992 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"A very reliable little tank. Decided to sell because needs service and front suspension"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distributor failed at 95,000 miles or about 3½ yrs. I submitted claim to American Honda. Was reimbursed me for the cost of repairs.
Poor handling from original rims and tires which seems to still be an issue with many Hondas even today.
Replaced both front axles which was cheaper than replacing CV joints.
Motor/Clutch still original! Even though shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear is funny, it's only a minor inconvenience. Could easily get an additional 100K or more out of it!
Braking system is the best in it's class. Got 80,000+ miles out of each set of set of pads, never had to replace the rear drums.
General comments?
The car still still gets up and goes;
Recently Replaced stock rims with 15" rims which resulted in major improvement with braking and handling, like it's on rails.
Gas mileage: averaged 31MPG.
Excellent bad weather/winter car.
Could use a little more low end torque, but still handles and accelerates better than my wifes 2001 Civic EX.
