What is the best Honda auto ever? 86-89 Accords?

I heard that 86-89 Accords were one of the best made Hondas and also one of
the best values. Does anyone agree? What other Hondas were considered good
Hondas?

I know someone who bought a '88 Accord with 200K miles for $900 and drove an
additional 22k miles without a problem.

We had both an '86 and an '88 Lxi. The '86 was purchased new, and the
'88 was used. Both were great little cars, but not even in the same
league as our 2003 EX V-6.

2000-2002 Accords, as long as you stayed away from the 6 cylinder
automatic models. Those transmissions were, um, problematic.

But the 4 cylinder versions, especially with manual transmissions, were
superb cars--better, dare I say, than the current model. Without doubt.

You, no doubt.

Spent the inheritance, did you, Pimp Boy?

 

the generation following that are still very popular. the '95ish era accord
isnt that popular, but the 98ish era is, but the current generation isnt.
hopefully the next gen accord and civic will be back on track.

 

Didn't you say on 3-26 "That's only 187,500 miles.... big deal."? So
I suppose 12500 more miles puts this car in a whole different league,
moron.

 

I am too a defender of the Gen6 model. The format is just right (Gen7 is
big). The chassis is really great. For look alone, my choice goes to the
Accord EX(-R) '94-95. Probably the Gen7 is the best, overall; too bad that
its front-end is a deal breaker for me.

As for '86-89 Accord, its specs in sizes and dimensions could almost compare
to a new Civic

I have a 2002 Accord EX-V6 and have been experiencing jerky behavior
in the tranny.
Do you have any further data on these transmissions, or any links to
more info?
This car was purchased as a "Honda Certified" vehicle, with full
warranty, and a fix would be free.
Thanks.

Ask your Honda dealer to show you Service Bulletin 010402, dated
4-1-2002.

CRX. It was everything a honda is supposed to be- fun to drive cheap to own.

 

Is this an English word?

 

2nd gen Integra, '90 through '93, is my favorite.

Agreed. And some will argue that the CRX started the import craze.

 

Honda seems to have forgotten a key part of what made the CRX desirable
- light weight. I guess it's understandable when the trend among US
drivers is toward ever bigger and heavier vehicles in the name of
"safety" instead of insisting that licensed drivers should actually be
able to demonstrate car control and accident avoidance techniques. But
as someone whose only transportation for several years was a motorcycle
(yes, it was a Honda ;-), I'll always believe lighter is better.

If Honda could build a 2-seater hatch with styling as attractive as the
CRX was, as light as the CRX was, but with 150HP as opposed to the CRX's
108HP (if memory serves, the rating for the US Si), they'd sell like
hotcakes.

In my experience, the 1990 Honda Civic sedan was the best car to drive. Mine
fetched 350,000km without a problem and is still running. I don't have this
1990 Civic any longer, but the lady I sold it to is still driving it. I now
have a 2003 Civic hatch which is an entirely different car - better in some
respects but doesn't provide the overall enjoyment that the 1990 model gave.

If they had another 50 or so HP they would be a much better car. We have
a 88 in the family and it's acceleration is quite leisurely. Gas mileage
is not that great either. We get low 20's in mixed city/highway driving.
