Hooray! Just for fun I present a Poll! Background:
Hi 1Geez, so I don't post much as my 1G accord hatch isn't my daily anymore.
This accord has had a chequered history, probably has over a million km on the chassis, the engine is from a paddock and the gear linkage is from one of those washing lines we have down here in STRAYA.
I owned Rusty for over 7 years, dug the rust out, took everything apart and went everywhere in it. Today I made a visit and went for a drive for the first time in a year! Started right up, of course, and rides beautifully on the OEM struts I bought on Ebay for $65.
I acquired a pug 205 and my Dad BOUGHT Rusty from me, and loves driving it because as if you wouldn't? - This car is smooth and quiet, heaps of grip and strong brakes, handling is balanced and steering is light. And it HAULS! Not a fast car, but the needle goes right into the orange without hesitation. I don't know if it has a rev limiter? Probably needs one.
I recently had the opportunity to buy another honda, pictured for comparison - they weigh about the same. Despite being nearly 40 (hard) years old, Rusty is still awesome. The 205 GTi is a monster on the track sure but the accord is still a much better car.
So if you have an old honda, you should hang onto it :)
