1996 Honda Accord 25th Anniversary Edition review from North America
"I wish Detroit made cars of this reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The lock that allows the rear seat to flop down stopped working.
The plastic piece that adjusts one of the exterior mirrors shattered on a cold winter day. (I glued it back together.)
When the timing belt is replaced. the dealership advises/pressures you to replace the water pump. (Because the pump must be removed to get to the timing belt!)
General comments?
On average, I keep my cars about 14 years. Though none of them are driven a lot, old cars with low mileage have still cost me plenty of money. This Accord is the most reliable car that I have ever owned.
The glove compartment is too small if more than one person uses the car.
