Once upon a time I had a 91 Honda Accord, an unbearable plain device, but 
mine own.  Most everything worked boringly as advertised, if sometimes not 
too well (minor things such as steering and brakes felt questionable form 
new).  But the one thing even Honda admitted was a slight error in design had 
to do with the A/C, which builds up a reservoir of condensed water in a place 
from which it is too slow to evaporate.  This water is an ideal breeding 
ground for rather smelly microscopic organisms, and the Accords with this 
system are known to develop a certain unmistakable odor a day or so after the 
A/C has been run.

Alfa content: I have now had 3 Alfas w/ A/C which, while never quite as 
frigid as the Honda's have never left me wondering if I should drive to the 
ER for some inhalation therapy.
