I've got a Dx Hatchback, with 97xxx miles, yep, thats right. She has been reliable, well cared for, as long as you do the oil changes frequently. AND I can work on her with ease! and I'm a girl who knows nothing of cars! I have myself a Carsons repair manual and Ive been able to figure it out so far. I highly recommend this car, for anyone wanting great gas mileage and dependability... if your willing to spend, like 30 minutes a week making sure all the fluids are good and nothings leaking... yet. If you can, I would recommend never getting a carburated vehicle, always always go for fuel injected! not many mechanics I go to work on carburated cars! and of course with older cars problems arise, but with age means more parts at junk yards for cheaper, cheaper parts in general, and everyone knows how to work on them... for the most part you can figure it out!Nov 21, 2012

Great car, superior Japanese reliabilty, awesome hatchback, fun to drive, zippy engine, and good gas mileage. Rolling on 13" wheels and there's a lot of rust due to northeast weather. Many of my parts will be purchased at a local salvage yard. It's old and what more can you ask from it. The car does not ask anything from me. It just goes where I want it to go. Thank you Honda Jan 18, 2010

well see i do like the honda its self but what i do not like is the fact that when tweakers get ahold of it then the car is almost imposible to fix back to normal with out droppin hella cash at it and when you just need a car that runs good for a commuter not caring what the car looks like then your screwed i bout a 86 honda accord of these dudes out in the boonies and the car was wonderful for a week then my CD player went out and since that everything that has to do with electrical besides my lights and gages has been retarted like my alternator went out I put a new one in but my battery light keeps coming on when ever the car is ran and the my fuel dicided to go out to for a couple days so now that happened i had to re conect some wire that aint even posed to be there according to the wiring diagram but aw well ok so i get that going and my carb starts acting Awire so im dont know what the hell is going on with this car but on a good note if i would have bout the car brand new i would probably love it Apr 04, 2009

I have a 1986 accord hatchback. bought it for $924.00 Can on a car lot taxes and all. It needs a muffler. I drive a car with 350,000km on it and it burns no oil. goes like a bat out of hell and sounds great doing it. I would buy another if I could find one but they are very rare here. It's built like a tank and has handling that makes many newer cars look like a joke. it's stock. I won my last three races based on the little bit of power and the insane handling. passengers rave about how ere it corners even on ice and how easy I can throw it around. I can't say enough about it. the only stock car I ever liked better for handling is my Rx7, but the savings in gas with my accord s make it the better car hands down.Dec 29, 2008

LIKES- 22 mpg in the city, 28 on the highway. good gas mileage, has the "FLIP" headlights, zippy acceleration, spacious interior, fog lights, sporty hatchback body style, very accurate power steering and brakes, engine is in great condition; for an old car, very dependable, runs like it could go another 100,000 miles DISLIKES- has a dent on the right passenger door (I WAS IN MY FIRST ACCIDENT ONE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR. SEEMS LIKE AN OMEN... RIGHT?). the trim above the back left wheel well is peeling off, a little bit of paint rush. sometimes when my car idles, it feels like it might stall out. all these things just come of age obviously... i would still recommend this car to any teens or adults. i personally like the sporty, 80's classic Hondas. Price- $1,600 Jul 18, 2008

My first real investment in a car. Paid $3000 for it in 1995. Kept it until 1999 when I sold it and moved back to Barbados. Sold it to a friend who had it impounded. Damn shame. Treated her better than i treated my g/f and she took care of me. Never left me stranded. 2 1/4 cat-back exhaust w/ Flowmaster muffler used to rattle windows and set off car alarms in Kings Plaza parking garage.May 28, 2008
