1982 Honda Accord LX Hatchback 1.8l I4 from North America
Summary:
A cheap race car that's great on gas
Faults:
Rust, Rust and more Rust.

A/C doesn't work.
Alternator comes off its mounts frequently.
General Comments:
This is one of the coolest cars I have owned. I drive it as fast as possible 99% of the time and still manage to stay under the speed limit and get 25mpg around town. It feels like a real race car because of it having no muffler and the excellent handling. If the brakes and muffler werent so annoying I would have given it a much higher rating for comfort. I think I will be trading it in soon however for an '82 Prelude, since that car costs as much as it would cost me to fix everything that's wrong with this car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Great car, I agree, but there are no rear calipers, only drums. My Accord is at 252000 and burns no oil, and the engine is perfect, never so much as took off the head (Owned it the entire time) Had a Horrible Rear end situation, had to weld on a new trunk, but was a teenager at the time, and did the work myself, Can't tell at all, I am never getting rid of this car...
