I used to have an Accord hatch. It was a great car. I say NP for this. You can certainly do a lot worse for $2500.
Side note, never seen that color on this gen Accord before. I wonder if it’s a repaint.

Because reliable, spacious, and economical. Also pop up headlights.

That’s what I was thinking, it’s a hell of a lot of car for 2500. These are 300,000 mile cars if cared for. It is an interesting color, I haven’t seen it either.

Wow that’s nice. The second car I ever drove was my Brother’s 89 LXI sedan. It automatic, but it was still was fun. The 2.2(2.3?) liter 12 valve engine is torquey and has a nice sound to it.

And the fact that this is a 5 speed, I would honestly have no issues in hopping in this car and taking it on a long trip. They’re about as reliable as they get. The biggest weak point was Honda’s automatic. Mine was an automatic and was the one thing I disliked about it. Otherwise, rock solid reliable. Just make sure that the timing belt was done (interference engine).

For a second I agreed with you. Then I noticed it wasn’t a pre-facelift Citroen BX...

I think a better question is why not. The only acceptable answers I can think of are “I don’t have 2500 dollars.” And “I already one at least one awesome old school Honda.”

20 bucks says it’s smaller, but has more cargo space than a current gen Civic hatch.

Even on the original “Golden State” sun plates, nice.

Save the liftbacks, liftback all the things.
(Fun fact, “save the liftbacks” is a tag on here.)

Yeah, I’ll bet this could easily support most of my activities, and if not I take the truck.

I could tell people I have an LX hatch and they’d assume it was.

If they existed here I’d have one, just because.

Wow. I love that.
Part of me wants to do Restomods on these old Accord hatchbacks and coupes... You know, a set of tasteful 16" mesh wheels (perhaps some Enkei 92s), a supercharged K24/6m swap with upgraded suspension, and a semi-quiet, but still kind of menacing exhaust.
Add a tastefully upgraded interior with power leather seats and a decent stereo.
But then I realize I have neither the money or the skills to make that happen.

That’d be slick. I’d just find a set of good springs and shocks for it, maybe some sway bars, a nice set of 15" wheels and a mild exhaust but leave the rest stock and keep the original parts. Nothing irreversible.

I dated a young woman in the 90s who had a red DX auto hatch, and a friend had a gold LXi 5-speed hatch with the sunroof. These were some of the best vehicles made in the late 80s.

In my case, I don’t have $2500 *because* I already own an awesome old school Honda.

I want to, but need to sell others off first. I need to find a cheap, reliable daily and this car is just funky enough to make me happy.

It’s basically a sensible Saab.

That’s a good point, there’s a ‘94 900 Turbo hatch also listed locally for a little less...

That seems a little ridiculous. That is a lot of cars, maybe just on of each model to start ok?

I still wish Honda had sold the Accord Aerodeck here in the US but the hatch will have to do.
