1991 Honda Accord DX review from North America
"The Honda Accord is a dependable, economic, and fuel efficient everyday vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong except for the regular wear and tear. I replaced the rear muffler, timing belt, drive belts, balance shafts belt, and water pump. I replaced the other items only because they must be removed to change the timing belt. Other than what is listed above, flawless.
General comments?
The Accord is an excellent everyday driver. There is no luxury and no prestige about driving this car. But, it gets good gas mileage (27mpg city, 31mpg highway), has very low maintenance costs, and is built soundly. Handling is average as is acceleration for a small car. The seats can become uncomfortable after a long trip. The radio in the base model is less than to be desired. The manual transmission shifts very smooth. I am very pleased with the Honda brand. I own two other Nissans and would only buy Japanese vehicles in the future.
