A 1986 Accord Aerodeck LX (euro) 2,0i 4cyl 120hk. Bought this car 3 years ago, 2011 marks this cars 25th year of service! Around 240,000km on the clock, the car has been really well cared for, immaculate paint, no rust!
November 15, 2011Great 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

September 16, 2009LIKES- 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
July 18, 2008I got my car for super cheap. As with most older model Hondas, the exterior needs improvement but the engine and other major components have alot of life still. With a little work it will be very reliable!
April 18, 2008Great car, get the manual trans because the automatic is too expensive to maintain.
April 2, 2008I 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.
December 29, 2008It is a very good reliable car, it has about 230,000 miles on it and it still runs great. Obviously there are some things that need to be replace just because it is old, but other than that it is a really nice car.
June 19, 2008This car was so comfortable! Loved the performance and the easyness of the car. The brakes weren't wery reliable.
January 10, 2008good quality car. What can you really say about a honda? they last forever, have decent power in smaller engines and the mile per gallon is amazing. This car can do it all. if you ever need to be sold.. remember honda
