1986 Honda Accord LX-i Hatchback 2.0 inline4 from North America
Summary:
An all around great car
Faults:
Not much has gone wrong with this car, I've replaced the entire exhaust except for the catalytic converter and I've gone through a couple of CV boots, those are the two "major" parts that I've had to replace.
The power windows are getting sluggish, but a little lube should fix that right up, and one of that four tail lamps has gone out.
There was also a tear along the seam on both front seats when I got the car, but that was not a hard thing to fix and has since been repaired.
General Comments:
This is a great car to be your first.
It has never broken down on me and has always gotten me to where I need to go.
It has enough pep to keep me happy and handles great.
I love the look of it and always look forward to driving it again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You're talkin about a car that I owe my life to.
I had her up to 100mph on black ice that I thought was water. Started doing so many 360s on the interstate, smacked into the wall, and then into the grass. That car saved my life - just had whiplash.
It was a 5 speed with lots of acceleration. I miss it a lot, but I've now got a Mazda which I'm in love with, but overall Honda is one of the best.

I also own a 1986 Honda Accord Lxi. I believe it is a great car, very reliable, and how quick acceleration is. I haven't had to replace really anything on it. The transmission is starting to go, but it has 250,000 miles on it. And it gets me where I need to go. I definitely would by another one.
