1989 Honda Accord DX review from North America
"Best $150 spent on a vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator top cracked at 264,000 miles.
Needed struts when purchased.
Needed upper and lower ball joints when purchased.
General comments?
Carb idle adjust likes to change on it's own. Set idle, then applied Lok-Tite to screw threads. No more problem!
Transmission grinds a little when going into 3rd gear with clutch all the way in.
