    I had the LX model 37 years ago, it's just so cool to have a sedan with pop up headlights back in the time. Still love the car with all the good memories in my young age.

    Came up in a Honda family, the mid late 80s early 90s hondas are the best, that engine sounds great man and the car is very clean this video was a treat for me

      @chichibud31 3 года назад +1

      I agree. Build quality yet to be seen in Hondas since. Over engineered in some aspects. My '86 LX sedan had insulation wrapped around the water hoses, as example. Same for the exhaust from the converter on down. Just one example of how far Honda went. Motor hit 300,000 km, no sweat. There were many like that in the video still on the road well into the late 2000's.

    That was nice to see. This car is still an attractive, sporty, useful simple honda style. The dash, the looks, flip up lights💅, & that honda start. It's missing that "ok honda sticker "& if this car had all the accessories ie fog lights, spoiler ( off the coupe, bra etc this car would be really something to see. Lucky ppl who owned this beauty. !!!
    Thank you for showing this. This helps on a cloudy day

    I cannot believe these still exist with only 55k miles in pristine condition. Like finding a needle in a haystack! My dad bought an '88 LX brand new...put 240k on the odometer, then passed it onto me in 2000, in which I put on another 120,000 miles on it until 2004 before donating it to a friend who needed a car. Considering that the original engine and transmission was never replaced, yours is probably going to go on for decades more. Honda engineering FTW!

    • @petescarport
      @petescarport Год назад +1

    Wow look how plush The interior looks compared to the accord interiors of today. Hard flat and black. My mom drove a 89 Camry when I was a kid growing up and I've driven camrys my whole adult life. I came across an old 89 that was like a time capsule much like this accord and I couldn't Believe how soft and squishy Teddy bear fur Covered seats. I missed those burgundy crushed valore seats lol

    This is the car that transitioned Honda from a cheap import car to a company that could compete with the giants like Ford and Chevy. This car beat out the Ford Taurus as the most sold family sedan of the 80s. Huge step up from the 82-85 Accords.

    Very nice! I once had a beater 1988 Accord in the early 2000s. I loved it, and probably would have kept it longer, maybe even forever if it had been in the condition of this sweet ride! Considering it's granny beige, it was probably a little old lady's car who drove it to church or the grocery store once a week and then eventually quit driving or passed away.

    My dad had a 1986 Honda Accord LX and it lasted from 86 to 2002! He traded it in for a 2002 Honda Civic EX and it was driven from 2002 to 2021 when my mom traded it in for a 2018 jeep compass latitude 4 x 4. I had a 2001 accord V6 EX-L and it lasted from 2001 to 2021 when I traded it in for a 2013 Accord EX-L i4!!

    My grandparents had a blue 1989 Honda Accord LX sedan for over two decades. It didn't get used very much because they were using their other car, which was one of three minivans over the course of 20 years. They gave it to my aunt in 2012, and then my aunt sold it to a mechanic in 2016 because a tire had wrapped around the axle. It only had 137,000 miles on it, but I know it still had some life left in it when it was sold, and it was otherwise in pristine condition. I remember that it had a synthetic wrap old school steering wheel cover on it. I miss that little blue Honda, as my grandmother used to call it, and I always wonder where it is or how it's doing. Does the door/seatbelt chime work in your 1989 Honda Accord? I really like those, and I sure wish they were still used on the newer Honda Accords from 2013 onwards. The 1989 Honda Accords that are still in great shape remind me of Jeopardy! announcer Johnny Gilbert in a way.

    I purchased a used 1980 Honda Prelude when I was a senior in high school. My first new car was a 1988 Honda Accord LXi Coupe. I thought I was so cool driving that car around. I became a Honda/Acura fanatic and have driven nothing but Hondas and Acuras ever since. I've had 10 Hondas and 8 Acuras over the years. Currently have a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T that I absolutely love and look forward to driving every single day. Watching this video brought back some very fond memories from the past.

    I’ve got this exact car only difference is mine is manual. 245,000 on the clock and in better condition than this. My dad bought the car brand new in 1989 and it’s been in the family since. I don’t plan to ever get rid of it, the car is incredibly reliable and gets better gas mileage than most newer cars

    I had the same car in 1999. It cannot run beyond a certain speed on freeway because car starts flies in air. You can see other cars are overtaking it on freeway but it didnot overtake any other car. Otherwise car a best car for driving within city limits.

      You know what... I totally agree! This car, among most of the ones that I have on my channel right now, where shot as video to show the details and imperfections as they where up for sale online. Most people selling their car on Cars & Bids or BaT don't want to hear me talk about my honest thoughts on their car, but are paying me to show the car for sale. I will be adding in some additional videos sooner than later talking about what some of these cars are good and/or bad at.
