1994 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Imported junk buy a chevy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver side ball joint broke shortly after we got it almost causing my wife and kids to wreck $225.00.
The starter went out and needed replaced $120.00.
The water pump leaked at 90,000 miles had it replaced with the timing belt $440.00.
Air Conditioning failed in the middle of July 94,000 miles $357.00.
Driver side power window stopped working 110,100 miles never got it fixed.
The brakes do not seem to last long, rotors are expensive because they are pressed on $475.00.
Fuel pump went out $330.00 repair cost.
General comments?
I bought this car because my friend only buys Honda, he claims they never brake down. It has let me down one too many times. He has an Acura Integra on its fourth transmission, and a 1999 civic that over heats often leaving him on the side of the road.
The car has a nice stance and looks sporty for a family sedan.
It lacks power on the take off, and really the VTEC engine is way over rated.
The dealerships I have taken this car to love it, it helps put their kids through college funded by my repair cost.
It gets really good miles per gallon when it runs!!!
