1991 Honda Accord LX Sedan review from North America
"Almost 180,000 miles and still rolling!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The CV axles, radiator, and clutch had to be replaced at around 140,000 miles.
I have been constantly battling with the front brakes. I have yet to get them back to original feel.
A/C causes clutch to overheat. Cannot use Max A/C without problems.
General comments?
This car is a masterpiece of automotive engineering. It's comfortable, simple, reliable, efficient, and elegant. It is definitely my favorite generation Accord.
Overall it has been a very reliable daily driver. It is definitely starting to show its age, but it still runs strong. The 91 feels more solid than my girlfriend's 96 Accord.
It is rather sporty for a family sedan (especially with the 5-speed), and it gets excellent gas mileage. I average about 31 mpg.
The interior is very comfortable making it an excellent trip car. The controls are very simple and driver oriented.
