2001 Honda Accord DX review from North America
"Reliable, just like they say!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes wore out and needed to be replaced.
General comments?
We owned it for about 3 years, it was the newest car we had ever owned.
Very reliable, but the DX had no frills at all. We really started to miss the power windows, locks, cruise control, etc.
The engine gets warm quick, which is a real plus in cold weather!!!
I have a bad back and that car did not sit well with me. My Ford F250 Diesel ('97) is much more comfortable to ride in.
Not as fuel efficient as you might expect from a 4 cylinder, but it made up for it in power. I would have to say that this car had more pep than any other 4 cylinder/auto trans I have driven.
This car handled like a sports car! (Well at least from the perspective of a Truck diver who hasn't even been behind the wheel of a sports car...)
We will miss the reliability, but not the fact that it had no frills, which is what the DX model is; and what we expected it to be.
In the future when we say to each other "well, we can live without that feature" we will remember this experience.
