1996 Honda Accord EX coupe 2 door review from North America
"It's only bad if you don't take care of it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing notable.
Replaced door "check strap" the metal bracket that keeps the door from opening all the way.
Replaced emissions system, covered by dealer. Full tune up, also covered my dealer. Renton Honda in Seattle, WA has the best service overall.
Tires and other misc stuff.
General comments?
This is my 5th Honda. I am so happy with this one. I have never been as pleased. I don't really like the 5 speed manual Trans, but it does get up and go. It's a little loud accelerating, but it revs very high with no problems. Honda spells Reliability.
