1997 Honda Accord SE review from North America
"Eye catching masterpiece"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace entire exhaust, which was possibly caused by road salt damage.
Also had a wheel bearing problem.
General comments?
This is a great car. It is very reliable and gets great gas mileage. It is quick to accelerate, although it would be nice to have more horsepower. It also handles beautifully.
Muffler and brakes cost a bit more to fix than previous vehicles I've owned, but that is all the money I've had to put into it.
The brilliant red color and chrome trim are eye catching and receive many positive comments.
