  Love My Honda - 1990 Honda Accord
  By dmoney - November 12 - 2:00 am

  This Honda was my first car. I have always heard that Hondas are dependable, but now I know for myself. People who have brand new cars say that my car is to fancy, it just says money.

  It was a lemon only a mother could love - 1990 Honda Accord
  By lemon lover - October 18 - 2:00 am

  This car was a nightmare for the first 9 years - back to the dealer for multiple problems under warranty, 5 batteries in 6 years, stuck around 100 times times in 100 degree heat with a car that would not start. But other than that, it was a charm to drive. Was overcharged on repairs several times. Once I left the closest Honda dealer and found an independent or drove across town to the other dealer, the problems were solved and it has run flawlessly ever since. Sears battery is 7 years old and still going strong. Does need need motor mounts. Im hoping to put another 100,000 miles on it. Makes a great second car.

  Simple, reliable machine - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Snowbelt Survivor - October 8 - 2:00 am

  With over 150,000 miles on it, our Hondas still running strong, and the steering is still tight and nimble. Uses zero quarts of oil between changes. Timing belt needs to be changed at regular intervals, and the slightest warping of your rotors will cause your steering wheel to shimmy going down the road. In the rust belt, the rear wheel well area rusts out even if the rest of your Hondas bohdy is in great shape. Water gets trapped in here with no way out. Fortunately, our local body shop cut out the rust and welded in new pre- formed sheet metal on both sides for under $800.

  Best Car Ive Owned - 1990 Honda Accord
  By scampbell - August 3 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car because I liked the way it looked and was impressed with its performance. The 5-speed manual transmission is smooth shifting and fun to drive, even at nearly 14 years old. We replaced the distributor at about 57k miles, then Honda sent us a letter telling us they would reimburse us for the expense. Wow! This is why I will buy another Honda product. When we replaced the timing belt at the recommended 90k intervals, we also replaced the water pump, seals, and had the valves adjusted. So far, almost 200k trouble-free miles in a car that still looks new.

  Honda is good, when it runs - 1990 Honda Accord
  By rubrenbear - May 17 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car from a friend 2 years ago. The first few months of owning the car were not spent driving it. The car needed costly repairs such as timing belts, battery changed 3 times, ignitor switch, starter and alternator. Once fixed it stopped entirely. It was towed to the nearest shop but nothing was wrong. An hour later, we tried starting it and it magically was fine! Arrg! Ive had this car 2 years and it almost feels like Im making monthly payment on this car.

  Man, this car was awful. - 1990 Honda Accord
  By LemonHonda - May 14 - 2:00 am

  I had an immeasurable amount of trouble with this car. I had oil leaks from three seperate spots, a broken resonating thinger (chamber? I forget, but it made a heck of a lot of noise). My muffler broke off a piece and spat it back into the pipe, I had a leaky trunk (compounded by a faulty drain, making a huge puddle), I had to replace the mesh part of the exhaust pipe, had to replace the clutch, had a torn CV boot, improper idling, broken reverse gear, had a blown head gasket, and had a massive problem with the radiator (which I did not fix before getting rid of the car). All this at 115k miles and proper maintenance.

  Reliable Car with CV boot problems - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Thebirdman - May 14 - 2:00 am

  The 1990 Honda Accord is a very reliable car with very little mechanical problems. The only problems you will have with this car are the cv boots and the paint. The CV boots will not last very long and the paint will fade on the hood and around the tires.
