1988 Honda Accord Reviews, Pricing & Specs

88 accord lxi hatch. 2.0 single cam 12 valve. acceleration is alot better than most might beleive and goes hand in hand with the cars top speed of 130-140mph.not bad for an 88 accord. the car is relatively light at 2450lb. (only 600lb. heavier than the mazda miata). due to this fact the car handles and respondes only slightly under the miata`s standards. with aftermarket upgrades the car has true potential in the tuner scene.Sep 28, 2012

This car bailed me out when i was down and out! literally saved my a$$. back in 2003 my recently paid off jeep grand cherokee blew a transmision out of the blue and i was stuck with no car.(wife had a brand new saturn mini van for her and the baby...didnt want/could not afford 2 car payments) we had a new baby & recently moved to a new house in the burbs and we were financially strapped! things were bad. a colleague of mine sold me the car for $500 and there was 88k on the clock. car was originally from TX and has not been driven in 2 years! this car was ultra reliable! i never had any problems with it! never left me(or my wife)stranded. was used as a commuter car for roughly 5 years. not for a race can or what ever those 20 something kids try to do with them!!worked out nice when gas was hovering around $4 a gallon. i got around 33MPG im 6'4" 250 and it was just fine for me. things got better finacially and i still kept the car..why not? but i recently sold it with 160,000 on the odometer for $1500 and quickly bought a 1997 accord wagon! im no import fan,im from a UAW ford family that grew up in inner city Detroit,MI. and would never buy any NEW import vehicle period! but if your on a tight budget you cant go wrong with one of these cars! wold make a great first car or a car to rack up the miles on..Jul 02, 2009

My favorite Honda so far-My Accord LXi hatch. (the drop down doesn't show LXi hatch only LX). I LOVED this car and only got rid of her because I had to pay rent and hadn't worked in a few months-didn't want to get a job so I sold my second car-I sold my CRX Si a few months earlier to stock up some rent $, but not before putting the CRX Si wheels on my Accord. Oddly enough, I was driving my Accord more often than my 94 Mazda Protege. I bought my Accord LXi hatch for $500 with 225k on the clock in 2000. I sold her with 293k for double what i paid. I loved the pop up headlights, the smooth shifting 5 speed, the cool hatchback cargo cover, the ginormous truck, the power crap and how she handled in corners on exit ramps. Did I mention the cool pop up lights and sleek fastback design? I actually liked this more than my 93 Accord EX sedan which was my baby... If money was no object and I could restore a car, this Accord would be in my garage again...Dec 13, 2008

I bought the car when I turned 15 with a little over 145k on it. I sat in the driveway until I turned 16. At the time I thought it was the best thing on the planet! Then it started to leak and the trans started to go (loud crunch going from park to drive). So I changed the trans from auto to stick. Overall it is not the best car on the road but it was a great first car.Sep 08, 2008
