I bought this car new in March, 1988. I chose the LXi model because I wanted fuel injection. I've owned Honda's with carburetor's, and they never ran smoothly until they warmed up.
The car has performed flawlessly since new, and is a pleasure to drive with the manual transmission.
Because the car is so reliable, I will buy another Accord to replace this one if and when that day comes. I wouldn't consider any other make of automobile.
The car handles just as well on dry pavement as it does on wet or snow covered roads.
The car gets very good gas mileage in the city and the highway.
If you can find a low mileage Accord, I recommend a 1988 or 1989 Accord LXi.
I own a 1988 Honda Accord LXI hatchback. This car is one heck of a car.
When I got the car, I was not aware of all the problems, but I drove it hard and the car performed very well. But I found out that the wiring is screwed, the linkage for the 5th gear was zip tied to the car, and yet the car would beat most newer model cars, and I find that a lot of people say the car is not worth it.
I say this; if you can find one that runs good, get it, it is worth it. I mean wow, I love this car, it is old with high miles, but runs like a champ.
