1989 Honda Accord LX-i review from North America

Radiator issues - had over heating issues

cracked the plastic piece on top and replaced it

recently replaced a bunch of hoses that would spring leaks one after another

thermometer still doesn't work right.

Lost 5th gear, then a year later lost 4th

had a new (old) tranny and clutch installed with a strange, by chance, lucky deal the following day.

CV joints, axle, batteries.

After sitting 6 months the fuel filter was bunk

a little cleaning and it worked.

Alternator replaced twice now I think

starter twice as well.

Driver window - electric - stripped, fixed, and now not quite perfect, but goes most of the way up.

Head light flip up fixtures broke, fairly easy rig up.

Shocks and struts are pretty shot.

A/C pump is no good

vent fans work sometimes.

Various electric issues with radio not working at times.

Still gets 30-35 mpg

sounds good, runs good

pretty fast.

Made many long trips

across the country 5 or 6 times

without problems (except one bunk-alternator trip)

"Beast" is very reliable.
