1996 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Nice riding great gas mileage lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission started slipping terribly at 60,000 miles.
A/C leaks water all over passenger carpet.
Driver side power window goes down, but not up in cold weather.
General comments?
I really thought this car was going to last longer considering Honda's reputation. I could not afford a new transmission so I got rid it. It occurs to me that the only two cars I've owned that had major problems was this Honda and a Nissan (cracked head).I've owned a Grand Prix, two Camaros, a Corvette, and an Olds Intrigue. The American cars have never cost me a dime except for routine maintenance.
