1990 Honda Ballade 150 review from South Africa
"One of the best vehicles ever produced!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing other than serviceable items and a little rust (I live at the humid, salty Durban coast)
General comments?
These cars were amazing if they didn't rust!
Best cars ever - fuel efficient, super reliable (was in our family from new for nearly 15 years without one substantial problem), amazingly quick for 1990 1.5l (weighed under a ton), revved nicely, comfortable though a little noisy, clear sight of every corner of the car due to large windows, amazing handling and road-holding.
Wish I could buy a new (maybe slightly safer & quieter) one now!!!
