1983 Honda Accord review from North America

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Needed a new clutch and carburettor at 309000 miles, but besides maintenance items, nothing.

317,000 miles, enough said!

I love this car. My mom bought this car new and drove it when she went to college. Then I went to college 19 years later and she gave me the car. I wouldn't be surprised if my daughter goes to college driving this car. It will be in another 18 years, but this car seems like it can do it.

Driving this car makes me wonder what is happening to the new cars now days. This car is really quick and gets really good gas mileage. 34 average, still! It has A/C, and all the power stuff minus the seats and sunroof. They still work, all of them. From what I can tell, this car is better than anything new out there. I'd like to see Hyundai with a 20 year/300K warranty. This car is indestructible and still fits in nicely with other cars on the street. Sure it has had a repaint or two in it's life, but heck, it's older than I am by a year and older than my wife by two.

The car is the best thing I've owned by far. No problems, no hassles, no worries, not selling.

There is one thing that I do not like about this car though. That analog clock in the dashboard. Not that I don't like analog clocks, but it ticks really loud. Not a good car to sleep in on long road trips. Other than that, great! Incredible piece of machinery.
