General Comments:

I paid $16,000 for this car back in 1991 and since have recorded 302,000 miles on the odometer. It's still as reliable and tight as it was 14 years ago. This car is simply amazing! I'm a middle-class, hard-working American, and I deserve to get the best value for my money. I wish American cars were as dependable as my Honda, but until they catch up I will continue buying Honda's for my transportation.

Faults:

The muffler fell off. It sounds awful!

The power window fell off track. it took only half an hour to fix by my self.

General Comments:

I never thought I would drive a Honda, I was under the impression that they were not very reliable. So far I am more impressed with this car than any other cars I have driven with a quarter of the amount of mile that this car has.

It has most of the luxuries; power windows, sunroof, driver-side air bag, tilt steering wheel, rear fold-down seats, drivers side arm rest, and lumbar support on the drivers seat. What's great is that they all function properly. Most power windows and sunroofs stop working after 10 years or so.

Performance wise, this car is great. The 5speed transmission shifts easily and feels very smooth.

Although the clutch is worn it doesn't slip horribly, it only chatters a bit in reverse.

The suspension provides the best of both worlds I think. It handles very well, little body roll and responsive steering. Yet, it's a very comfortable ride on most road surfaces.

The engine, even with more than a quarter of a million miles, is very peppy and has good pick up for a four cylinder. Also once I did the first oil change it stopped smelling like burning oil if I brought the car up to higher RPM.

The all around disc brakes can stop this car very quickly and the ABS is great.

The only bad thing about the car is that there was a good amount of rust on the rear quarter panels, above the tires. It also needs a new paint job badly. The car is mostly primer and needs a fair amount of body work, for example the dents and rust.

Faults:

Ignition switch relay $100

New brakes and rotors $350

Oil leak $???

General Comments:

I just know this car will always be there and run for me. That's the problem with reliable cars, you don't want to get rid of them when they are paid for. I wouldn't say I am sick of it, so I guess I will keep it a long long time. Probably run it into the ground. Its my very reliable work car. I just know I can trust it, and I still like its styling.

Faults:

Radiator leak at 136,000 miles, caused from accident with a Jeep Cherokee.

CV joints failed at around 140,000 miles.

Coolant hose needed replacing at about 160,000 miles. (What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas).

Minor repairs are expected at these miles... Great car.

General Comments:

I know I put a lot of faults, but I get great gas mileage, and when it rains it pours, but at the same time once I get it fixed its fixed. I have put a lot of miles on it since I have had it, I drive 80+ miles a day in the Texas heat and the only thing that I have had to really invest in was the transmission.
