1989 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have fixed the radiator of my car twice since I have had it.
The AC doesn't work.
The low beams don't work and if the switch is on the low beams smoke comes out of my steering column.
The paint is starting to deteriorate.
My car has a bad oil leak that won't stop no matter how much money and work I put into it.
The driver side window won't roll down.
Both driver's and passenger's seat belt buttons have broke due to heat.
Had to fix the power steering hose.
Power steering pump leaks.
General comments?
For the most part this car is a great starter car for teens.
You will probably have to put some money into it, but it's fun to drive when it works.
