1991 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Perfect used car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since buying this car, I have replaced the PCV valve, the alternator, the distributor cap and rotor, and the valve cover gaskets set. I have also replaced the rear defroster dash switch, and have a few minor missing pieces inside that I am slowly replacing from junk yards. The most important thing I have replaced, and many other people will benefit from this knowledge, I hope, is the gaskets surrounding the rear tail-lights. This gasket is neoprene, and fails after a period of time. This is what causes ninety percent of all trunk leaks in this car. You can get replacements at your local dealer, but the best pricing is where I got mine, www.hondaautoparts.com. My local dealership quoted me 22 dollars EACH, while the on-line cost me less than 20 bucks with shipping for a set. I also get the little spring clip for the gas door at the same time. I also need to repair my cruise control system. I'm thinking switch, but I haven't been able to find one (used) locally.
General comments?
This is a great car. I am primarily a Toyota fan, but I wouldn't trade my Honda-Car for anything less than another Honda or a Toyota.
