1983 Honda Accord Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
It seems that Honda likes to stick to what it knows and doesn't change much just for the sake of change. The 1983 Honda Accord is just the same as the '82 Accord with one notable exception that people enjoyed.
In '83, the Accord now had a four-speed automatic transmission, instead of the former three-speed. Of course, it still came in manual transmissions as well.
Those still driving it (and yes, there are plenty of '83 Accords running around 23 years later) say "age is just a number," and "it's the best thing I've owned by far. No problems, no hassles, no worries." The biggest complaint seems to be with the analogue clock, which is said to tick quite loudly.

I've had this car for about ten years now, has served me well. Has needed two master cylinder replacements (both from the boneyard) and a head gasket at 190,000 miles, but otherwise a low-maintenance vehicle with decent mileage.
The styling may take a little getting used to, but definitely grows on you.
I'd recommend this rig to any first-time car buyer or someone looking for something easy on the pocketbook.Jul 27, 2008

Bought my '83 Accord hatchback from my parents shortly after graduating from college. It got great mileage and served me fairy well until the radiator rotted out because it had never been flushed. Not a lot of power, but I could fit a lot in it, and it was relatively good in the snow.Mar 13, 2007
