1989 Honda Accord DX review from North America
"Very Reliable Car at a cheap cost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the car it needed a carburetor. I bought a used one for $16.00! Transmission has a leak, but I just keep fluid in the thing and its fine. I had to replace the fuel filters because I was only getting 15MPg. I think I fixed that part. Other than that nothing has gone wrong. I have to do a timing belt here in the next few weeks.
General comments?
Very reliable car. As someone who used to buy Nissan's, I think I am converted to Honda's for now on. Fun car to drive with the 5 Speed. Lacks power when climbing hills, but other than that its fine. Handling it like nothing I have ever driven. I love the steering. I'm not going to complain because I bought it for $500 and you can't go wrong. Runs like a dream.
