1985 Honda Accord LX Hatchback review from North America

Replaced seat-belt under Warranty Recall.

Car feels small after gaining weight and compared to the larger 89 Accord 4-door, the extra car.

Had to replace R/P power steering, had fluid leak.

Air Conditioner worked until three years ago just after refilling fluid, can't determine whether a/c actually died or if it's just the fan unit. Too much to pay to check, have to pull up complete dash.

After California sun the velour seat are slightly faded and the corners of the front seats are loosing stitches (easy fix).

Plastic housing around headrest have cracked.

Hatchback "trunk" piece still functions, but had to recover material deteriorated.

Stereo worked great until kids broke antenna last year and learned radio/cassette player doesn't work without it which costs $80 plus labor to reinstall.

Clutch/brakes replaced.

Timing belt went out years ago while sitting at a read light which saved the engine from being totally ruined and was an expensive repair.

Clutch is easy to work even with sciatica down clutch leg.

Love the Hatch, ran Multi-Level Marketing Cosmetic Company out of my car! Love the 50/50 split seats.

Paint (blue) still in good shape other than some scratches. Purchased coating originally.

Moved from Silicon Valley to Oregon with car full and with five cats, we all made it comfortably. Of course, they were contained for safety.

This car hasn't been driven much since a back problem over past few years, now I am disabled. But it still wants to get up 'n go!

Still have complete records, original owner, no accidents.

Getty-up! I love the choice I made purchasing a Honda instead of Mazda competitive model. Spent more for a better quality car and look it's still great. I still love this car even though if I had more income (SSI) I would really have it looking and running great.
