1987 Honda Accord LX-i from North America - Comments

Muffler fell off at 157450 Miles.

Power windows need adjusting.

Passenger side door handle busted and no longer opens the door.

I thought the tilt steering didn't work, but I just didn't know how to operate it.

Driver side front fender is dented in, also the headlight next to it is not facing as forward as the other headlight.

This wonderful car gets excellent gas mileage. We took it on a 632 mile journey and only used a tank of gas. It has a 16 gallon tank so that means that the car got about 39.5 miles to the gallon. I did a full tune up on the car just before we went on this trip. It only costed around $30 to go 632 miles with gas prices at an average price of $1.84 /gallon. It didn't do too great climbing over to mountain passes as far as speed. But it never came close to overheating. I have written a review about this car before, but I don't know how to update it so this is the update on that review. If you find an accord like this one with less than 150,000 miles on it buy it you'll be glad you did.

How did you get the tilt wheel to work?

Please e-mail me at dmstudley1 at aol.

I just purchased a 1987 2D hatchback, with 105000 miles on it.

The car does not have an owners manual, and I would love to adjust the steering wheel.

Thanks.. DD.

I would make sure you didn't forget to reset your odometer or something because 87 Accords (manual or automatic) only get 30 MPG tops... mine (in the summer when the carburetor kicks down faster) averages 27 MPG.

I would have to disagree... I believe that they can get up to 41 miles per gallon depending on the use. Do you live in California with the strict emissions control? In Minnesota we do not have so strict of emissions laws. My friend could get 40 MPG out of his 89 Accord and oddly enough with 244,000 miles on my 94 Accord I can get up to 41 if I do highway driving. It is possible, probably made possible by how old the engine is and how loose it is.
