The downside to that Accord (beside the CCW transmission input shaft) is power steering. Ideally your car will have manual steering in ICE form - which means Metros, some Saturns & older Civics... Not a deal breaker though, depending on how hard it is to steer with the belt off.

That Civic sounds like a junkyard car. Too rusty?
