I love this car, would hate to see it go out of my life. I plan to do my best to keep it running but I need more time to get used to working on this thing! Keep watching for updates to my debacles!Feb 05, 2012

This car was just funny. I traded my first car (the Maverick) for it + $200, and I took that $200 straight to Autozone. With spinning hubcaps, seat covers, steering wheel cover, and "racing" pedals and shifter knob, I was set! Not to mention I put a full aftermarket sound system in, so it was "ballin"! Aug 18, 2010

Very cool car... Weighs as much as my SAAB's door and handled very well..... I had it for 6 years and wished it wasn't an automatic for everyone of them. IMHO it's the best Accord ever made. Sold it with almost 200K and it had tons of miles left. If only GM, Ford, and Chrysler built cars that well.Jan 02, 2010

The car sucked! Anytime I drove the car after dark, the headlights would go off when I turned on the left turn signal! It ate gas like a fat kid eats Twinkies, and any time I tried to accelerate to pass another car, the overdrive would kick in and it sounded like the engine was going to shoot out of the hood!Sep 16, 2009

I didnt like the fact that mine was had a carb. I dont like that fact that parts where hard to find. But it was a tough lil honda like most are. So it was a good lil car to go out and abuse.Aug 19, 2009

Good acceleration, and good looking exterior with plenty of space inside. It's wide and not very high, so it has good handling. I got to 100 km/h with a good load, and it was so relaxing.
Got some problems with hand brake(mechanism at the wheel, I heard it's a common problem). It's quiet old, so some has to be changed: rubber at doors, seats( would like sportier ones), some interior and exterior details. Also the transmission has some problems (sometimes doesn't want to engage 1st gear or any other when you want to pull out, or disengage the reverse).
It's an European version and it's a EX2.0i with manual transmission. Sometimes it looks like box to me, but still a mean and good looking car.
I didn't got the chance to drive it fast because I still drive with my parents, and roads are terrible.
Still a good car, but I decided to pay respect to its age and let my father drive as he thinks it's better(I tend to go over 3000 revs, and this makes me think either I'll blow the engine or the gearbox will fall apart).May 01, 2009

This was my sisters car. I used it alot eventhough it was her car. I drove it to school and I had it when I was in the Navy until she died on me. Acceleration has ok. Handling was ok. It was a very fun car to drive. I love HondasAug 29, 2008

my car has 180,000 miles and is kinda falling apart but it understandable when the car spent most of its life up in fairbanks alaska. these cars are hard to kill and fairly simple to fix.Jul 09, 2007

My car is great on gas. Not much frills, but usually realiable. Works very well for my family unless it is hot outside.

Love my 87 Accord LX, except two design challenges. (1) It has a complex web of vacuum hoses that took me two days to replace one by one. (2) I've heard one reliable mechanic and an Internet source both stating that if you begin having carbeurator troubles on this model, there's almost no fixing it (time to move on).
Update in 2012: Still driving this oldie at almost 250,000 miles with no major issues other than typical repairs as the miles pile up. The AC died on this vehicle before I bought it, and my Honda mechanic says the compressor on this vehicle was a piece of junk not worth replacing. Apr 18, 2007

I have seen plenty of reviews on cars that are great and i get a little tirersome of the pages people write so i'll keep it short. I have a 1987 accord one of the plainest cars they made with only a/c and cruise. I have to say though it runs great and only has minor problems but that only started when it hit the 200,000 mile mark. It now has 215,857 and runs fine. So parents looking to get there kids a first car this is a great one or just as a low salary car.Apr 09, 2007

I really have enjoyed rebuilding my 1987 Honda Accord. I had a little trouble with the intake manifold, but other than that, it's a great car to drive. Great handling and wonderful gas mileage.Mar 18, 2007

325,000 plus miles, and drive it about 50 miles every day. Never have a problem taking it on road trips either. I love this car. I paid $150 for it almost 3 years ago, and it just keeps getting better!Nov 01, 2006
