1991 Honda Accord EX-R 2.3 from North America
Summary:
The marathon winner
Faults:
Recently replaced the exhaust from the front flex pipe to the muffler. (never had been done)
Replaced the engine head gasket and the oil pan gasket.
Replaced the starter.
All repairs on this car were regular maintenance due to wear & tear.
General Comments:
This is definitely one of the most reliable car ever made! All you need to do it change the oil regularly and do a tune-up once a year and the car will you a life time.
This car is very comfortable and reliable.
The model stil looks good after 16 years.
Mechanicaly, it is very sound. Parts are easy to find.
However, the one considerable problem with this car is the rust. Especially on the rear quarter panels and belows the doors.
Also, there are minor electrical problems with some fuses and interior lighting, but what do you expect after 15 years!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had the same problem with leaking roof... it's in the drain tubes from the back of the moon roof... There are tubes that run down and come out over the rear wheel wells. You have to remove the trunk side panels to access them. My mechanic used compressed air from the holes at moon roof and blew debris out. I've read you can cut the bottom of tubes if this doesn't work... If you don't fix... the water will get into your computer under the front passenger floor mat. I was lucky to get away with just drying it out with a fan... works fine now. My EX R has over 440,000 km and runs like a champ!!
