Faults:

The only thing that has gone wrong with the car is the radiator started having trouble around 130,000 miles. It never really overheated although the temperature has climbed significantly.

Also, the rear quarter panels started to rust in the wheel well where the bumper and quarter panel meets.

General Comments:

The 1991 Honda Accord LX sedan was by far one of the smartest investments I have ever made with automobiles to date. I would definitely buy another one and never plan to sell the vehicle.

The car handles very nicely, and is fun to drive, especially in curves.

General Comments:

The car is very reliable, sporty and still trendy looking for being a 1991 model.

The paint job I have is still original and looks great.

Gas mileage is really good on the highway, average for city traffic.

Engine still purrs like a kitten.

Faults:

Clutch and right axle had to be replaced at 120000. I also had to replace the oil pan thanks to some idiot at a local lube place because he thought it need to be torqued on.

I have an unexplained rattle coming from the rear passenger side and the antenna makes a lot of noise. The automatic seatbelt has tried to kill my friends on numerous occasions.

General Comments:

The Accord is a good car! I get excellent mileage and above average reliability. How can you beat that! I love how it has some sportiness to it and the fact that it is comfortable at high speeds. I've had mine up to 120 mph (I regularly drive at 90 to 95 mph on a daily basis) and it handled wonderfully. The high resale value helps too. Too bad you can't get this kind of quality in an American made car.
