1979 Honda Accord Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1979 Honda Accord remains little changed from earlier Accord models. The wheelbase is still slightly better than 93 inches, the engine is still a 4 cylinder, 1.6 liter 12 valve SOHC.
A new trim became available this year, appealing to more families: the four-door sedan that increased overall length and competed with the Corono by Toyota.
Fuel efficiency is still the Accord's biggest draw — along with its passenger room. That said though, the Civic was still outselling the Accord and people were having more fun with their Civics as well.

hi i owed a 1979 accord hatchback for about 5 years found it a joy to drive
nippy great handling round bends, and ultra reliable,good room with the seats down at the back,
probable still my favorite all time car for reliability comfort and handling,
even against some german cars i have owed,
the ex were more refined for there day with electric roof window and ariel,big chucky chrome buttons, no compromising
in build qulity,
its a shame about the rust as im sure it would have still be running today,
would gladly trade my audi a4 tdi in for another one no computer ecu issues that can be expensive just good straight car that did not show compromise when first,
built,
a truely great car like no other that i,ve owed in over 20 years driving
