1987 Honda Accord LXi Hatchback review from North America
"Will ALWAYS buy Honda!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission oil seals aged (100,000+) and began leaking-were easily repaired.
Drivers door handle broke at 160,000-$45 for new factory painted replacement.
All other parts have been "consumables"-tires, batteries, struts, filters, etc.
General comments?
BEST vehicle I have ever owned. Purchased new Jan '88, and still use as daily driver. Has never let me down.
Still enjoy driving it everyday. Honda mechanics-dealer & independent-state that the '86-89 Accords are the best ever built. 300k out of the engine is reasonable if maintained (a friend has 325k on his '87 Accord 4dr).
'87 Accord Hatchback has classic looks--still looks stylish.
