1982 Honda Accord Hatchback review from North America
"Mine was a one-payment wonder!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump needed to be replaced.
Car needed a new clutch, but gave me 5 months warning.
General comments?
I paid $500 for my car, and I love it. It is quieter than most new cars, gets 35-40 mpg, and is as smooth and quiet at 80mph, as it is at 45mph. I live in Savannah, GA, and have driven this car to Detroit MI and back, Key West, FL and back, Miami, FL (seperate trip) and back, as well as many trips to Atlanta. I drive 83+mph on the interstate. I never have to worry how I'll get where I'm going. This car works 365 days a year. I have even delivered pizzas in it. It is the best thing I have ever bought.
