1989 Honda Accord Coupe User Reviews

If I Knew How To Restore Cars And Had The Money I Would Find One Just Like The One I Owned. — I loved this car, not only because it was my first but because it was the perfect blend of sporty and practical. It was also super reliable and would probablt still be running today if I hadn't rear ended someone in it! Gas mileage was really good and the only major problems I ever recall were in the front axle. I had to have the upper arm joints rebuilt and and still continued to have some problems with uneven tire wear. Despite that rather costly issue (esp. for a young driver) I still miss this car - pop up head lights, moon roof, and all!

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

All In One Accord — The car came with plenty of electronics that were easy to use and never broke. The car had stunning lines and very comfortable interior. It wasn't the best MPG car i ever had, but it was ok for the category...

Primary Use: Commuting to work

They Don't Make 'em Like This Anymore — Still performs admirably at 19yrs old. Its no rocket, but don't let the measly 98hp fool you. It only weighs 2600 (subtract x for rust) and cranks out 110lb-ft @ 3500rpm, so on the highway you've got pretty decent acceleration from 120-140 while staying in 5th. Ride comfort is good, handles quite well minus the body roll.

Cheap, Reliable — Good car for the price. Though it's underpowered and the gas milage isin't amazing in comparison to the horsepower. The Ford Taurus of the same year would be a better bet.

Still outsold Camry in 89 and was outselling camry in 86 nearly 3-1 for good reason. SEI had cup holders hidden until you needed them, disc brakes all four corners, more suspension travel, Boise sound, leather that would ruin you with upscale interior throughout. Sporty and water pump was still separate from timing belt service. You could do them separately. Pop up headlights meant clean when you needed them & glass headlights meant no plastic lens fading. This is the last year of the 3rd generation Honda when some called it the best car at any price for the money. And Honda was called the best car maker in the world. Today they remain the better Honda for a number of reasons. Lastly today cars feels every bump in the road and they call that sporty? This older Honda with double wish bone suspension road more like a crown vic while still handling favorable to the Prelude, and thats saying something. If you can find a better car (and you wont) but it
