1988 Honda Accord LX 2.0 from North America
Summary:
How do you spell reliability... A-c-c-o-r-d
Faults:
By the time I bought the car, the seats had been well worn, and slight rust had begun to form over the rear wheel well.
The clutch was serviced and adjusted soon after I bought it.
Besides what "came" with the car, regular maintenance was the only time the car was serviced.
General Comments:
Honda Accords are amazing. Especially the models with the manual transmissions. My car handled better than any other car of its age, due to it's four wheel independent double wishbone suspension, had enough power, and consistently showed impressive gas mileage. How long would have my Accord have gone? Due to a deer, I'll never know.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I am the original author of the article. Since I wrote the article in the first place, I have put another 5,000 miles on it with no problems. On a 675-mile round trip, it went 535 miles on a tank of gas, despite being burdened with two passengers and 200 pounds of luggage. The seats were great; we went 6 1/2 hours (425 miles) without stopping.
