1997 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"A strong case that a car is a good investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A panel became loose on the underside of the car and other than that, nothing.
General comments?
This car is an exceptional piece of machinery. It always starts, always goes, and shows no signs of stopping.
The suspension of the car is quite capable. It is good for regular commuting, but tight enough to breeze through corners with little effort.
The engine is a bit on the weak side, but rewards the driver with excellent gas mileage.
The interior has a very classy and clean design that's attractive and easy to keep clean.
The exterior of the car has a very clean and attractive look to it (especially the coupes). The paint is excellent and, with a little elbow grease, can retain its shine.
Overall this car boasts excellent reliability, comfort, and ease of use that should be the mark of current automakers today.
