hey guys,
I am looking for a new car most likely within the next 2 days, so if you read this please respond and don't just skip it, thanks. I am deciding between several cars at this point, all with 5-speeds, all 4 bangers. they are 87-90 jettas, 87-89 accords, 87-88 integras, and maybe a 93 elantra. I know the engines on the hondas and jettas are great, so here is a list of questions I need help with for the accords, and if you can the integras too:
- how economic are they? mpg? (this is very important)
- how are the tranny's, bombproof?
- how are the brakes?
- how long do the brakes and clutch typically last?
- what issues should I look for in a florida car?
- are the pop-up headlights easy to fix? also is there a cool looking kit to make them fixed headlights?
thanks guys, I am well versed in cars, but this will be the first frontwheel drive 4 cylinder car I ever had, most of my cars were used for racing (ie. corvettes, mustangs, trans ams, rx-7, fiero....)so I know what typically to look for, but I just need a heads up. knowlege is power! and I am a knowlege whore. thanks to anyone who actually responds.
