1986 Honda Accord LXI Hatchback review from North America
"Hondas are made for performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Routine maintenance - 2 oil changes/new spark plugs.
Fuel pump may need to be replaced.
Needs a new head gasket, oil leaks all over the engine.
Muffler clamps are literally crumbling because of rust.
General comments?
It was my first car, bought it off of a private seller for $1,600.
I loved the body style and the flip headlights.
I drive it to and from college everyday, and it performs great and has excellent throttle response for a 23 year old car, and more accurate power steering than most newer cars I've driven.
I've also installed a short ram air intake for more hp and fuel mileage.
The burgundy interior is spacious and clean too.
