1997 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Fun, reliable, long-lasting if maintenance schedule followed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator had to be replaced (but car has 139,000 miles!)
Muffler had to be replaced around 90,000 miles) (My 1990 Accord also needed new muffler around 90,000)
SBS light went on in 2001-was told by dealer it was a computer chip and would cost $600 to fix!!! Just recently, I was looking to buy a used 1998 Honda Civic from a private party and he has the same problem with the SBS light! Has anyone else had this problem? Should this be a recall item?
General comments?
Not the most comfortable ride in the world and parts can be expensive, but all in all, it's a very reliable vehicle and fun to drive!
