1991 Honda Accord Special Edition review from North America
"The Accord is an excellent vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the Anti-Lock Brake system on the rear end only. Also, the distributor is the only Achilles Heel of the Honda Accord. I had to replace it at 100,000 miles. Luckily they are not very expensive but fairly easy to repair.
General comments?
1991 was the first year that Honda came out with the SE model. This is by far and long one of the best cars I have ever owned. For a 4-cylinder engine, it can go very fast.
I have had very few problems with the car. It's probably the most reliable car I've ever had. Aside from regular maintenance (ie, tires, brakes, oil changes) I have probably only spent a total of 500 dollars in repairs over the course of 4 years.
These vehicles get excellent gas mileage.
The only downfall was that my local Honda dealership were not helpful in anyway and were also extremely expensive, so avoid Honda dealerships if possible. Aside from poor service from the dealership, this is the best vehicle I have ever owned and highly recommend the Accord. You will not be disappointed.
