I’ve got a 1989 Honda Accord, I paid $ 900.00 for it , I didn’t even know what it was , it’s close to immaculate condition, inside is beautiful blue , and its loaded with electric sunroof, cruise and the dash and steering wheel feels amazing, I can’t believe I got it ... funny thing is that was the cheapest car I could afford , I met an Asian lady uni student and she saw my Honda she went nuts over it , started taking photos and made a movie of me popping the headlights.... awesome car
My main driver is an 89 Accord, 5 speed lxi in Monterrey green with 423000 miles. Still runs great. I'll be driving it to Pennsylvania tomorrow from Atlanta and Lord willing, returning with it in two weeks.
My 1989 Accord LXi Coupe saved my life 19yrs ago when an elderly woman fell asleep behind the wheel of her Buick and rear ended me at 40+mph. I have now been driving Hondas for 23yrs. Honda for life. Even my lawnmower is a Honda.
This review is exactly what all reviews should be. About the car itself, it's chassis, it's place in the market, it's ethos. Not it's stupid infotainment system and other superfluous details.
What a beautiful car. This was Honda at its absolute best. I will always remember the growl of my dad's 87 Accord with the wonderful 2.0 A-series engine.
Boy this brings back memories. My very first car. I was proud of my little Honda. Took my girl to the prom in it. Got me through college. This month we've been married for 19 yrs. Wow! Time flies. Used to fill her up for $10 and ride all week.
Ahhh the golden years for the Japanese. They made the very best in the 80's and 90's then took a page from the big 3 and got complacent. Live and learn...
My parents bought black '88 LX-i sedan automatic when my sister and I were born. We moved to VT in '94 and had the car until the winter of '98. The car had a very tough life with us, especially in VT where the road salt was taking it's tole. But it was a great car, and as many have said, they don't build them like this anymore. This will always be my favorite generation of Accord, and I'd like to have one of my own some day.
My 93ex coupe was hands down the best car I've ever owned. Love what Honda was doing from mid 80's to the mid 90's. You just cannot get the build quality, features and RELIABILITY for anywhere near the value today that you could get from them then. From my 85 accord SEi onward I became as big of a fan of that brand as there is without becoming a "boy racer" with the fart can exhaust and primer paint jobs hahaha
Just received my grandmothers 1988 Accord LXI in blue with the silver metal side paneling, it was garage kept for 30 plus years. Only 54,000 miles!
Good lord....the American's and Europeans must have hated this car. Even from this old video, you can tell how well made it is.

Such a good looking car... nearly 30 years later it still appears modern.

Those competitors lol. How many 80s MX6s or Probes do you see on the road anymore? NONE.
Back then, Japanese cars were the top notch best. Late 80s accord was one of those legendaries.

One of the best dash and interior designs ever
Some of the greatest Hondas ever made.

I miss these 80's Hondas. Such fantastic cars.

Mom had this Accord in red. I still see so many of these Accords in the South, sea foam blues, browns, reds...

The last Accord to have a carburetor on its standard engine.

I miss my 1988 Honda Accord sedan DX 5 speed manual! I did everything in that car. I even took it hunting since I didn't have a truck.
