1996 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Great buy and easy to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The window regulator for the driver side door needs to be replaced.
Transmission is slowly starting to fade.
General comments?
I have mostly grown up knowing that hondas' are great performing and long lasting cars, and the Honda Accord is no exception. The accord that I have came with a few nice amenities such as power everything and cruise control. The one thing that I just don't understand is how the original window sticker states that I have a six disc cd changer that is located in the trunk, but first I am supposed to buy one?
Does anybody know where I can find me one without having to go to a Honda Dealership and pay some ridiculous amount of money.
But other than that I really like this car. The previous owner that I bought the car from had all kinds of protection put on the car. Such as an extra clear coat on the paint, sound deafening sprayed on the undercarriage and a protective coating off who knows what on the dashboard. I highly recommend having this done on any car because the paint looks better than it ever has and when you are driving down the freeway at about 80 it is very sound. I also fit very well in this car too. Considering I am 6'3" and about 200 pounds, it is one of the more better rides I have ridden in.
