1988 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Absolutely the most reliable car on the planet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front engine seal went out at 220,000 miles. Repaired for about $12.00.
General comments?
For the amount of miles that are on this car it is positively the most reliable car on the planet. I haven't changed the oil in 10,000 miles, and it didn't burn any at all. This car is amazing. Before I got it it was treated even worse than I treat it. Still, it performs like it was brand new. Excellent gas mileage is a plus 30 mpg. The car rides nicely and relatively quietly. The steering is exceptional. Everyone should buy this car.
