1985 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"It's a lifer if kept up..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Watch out for the seal at the base of the air cleaner housing, where it sits on the carb. A bad seal means very poor performance in damp/rainy weather. Carb is also interesting to repair... needs some babying.
Unfortunately the rear end is a bit on the light side - be aware of how heavy your rear passengers are, you can easily overload the suspension. Rust is another big thing... look out... clean it up as soon as you see it.
General comments?
Wonderful Car.... Love-em...
