1985 Honda Accord DX 5MT - Full Vehicle Tour

I actually sold this car in the Spring of 2014, but I completely forgot that I recorded this video, so here it is...

For 1985 This Honda Accord is ahead of it time for the 80’s. As always most Honda/Acura’s usually are.

This the identical car I made my dad buy when I was 18. $10,400. He put 88,000 miles on it in 2 years. Not one issue with it.

[@giberish9]

My father had one just like it. Mother sold it in '98. That was the last I ever saw of any 81-85 accord in the state of Illinois. It's too bad the survival rate is so low

[@SilverScarletSpider]

What a great Honda Accord. Very reliable and affordable.

[@jbeckmann6145]

Love it. I'd pop new rubber seal and trunk on. clean carpet, glove box easy fix and it'd be mint. Beautiful car. Had an 84.

[@MrMonday]

I have a 85 accord hatchback lx lmao, it's my starter, and one of my dream cars lol

[@Flushometer_AirConditionerFan]

What city & state is that car in? I love cars from 1985.

The motor that is in there is not a CVCC, they were discontinued in early '82. It just has 2 intake valves and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder. Cvcc technically only had 8 valves per cylinder, but there was a third auxiliary valve that would open to allow the combustion to escape the pre-ignition chamber. The easiest way to describe compound vortex controlled combustion is to say: There is a pre-ignition chamber which is filled with a very rich air-fuel mixture, whereas the cylinder is filled with a very lean air fuel mixture. The spark plug goes into the pre-ignition chamber, and a valve is opened by the camshaft whenever the explosion is ready to expand into the cylinder. There seems to be a lot of confusion about what motors are and aren't CVCC motors. The easiest way to check if you have CVCC is to pull a sparkplug and stick a camera (with a flashlight on it) into the spark plug hole. If you see a flat piece of metal with a hole going in it, you are looking at a CVCC pre-ignition chamber. If you see the cylinder wall, or a pistol, then your motor does not use compound vortex controlled combustion.

But is this a good car to buy?

[@emmaccode]

@@mirzaumer3467 Hondas are pretty much always good cars to buy, just haggle depending on the mileage and such. I wouldn't pay much over 2k for one of these unless it has less than say 80k, then it's kinda more a collector car anyway. The early 2,000's 7th Gen d17-A civics blew head gaskets, that is just about the only real issue to be aware of. I actually had one of those with 240,000 miles, never did anything but brakes oil and tires so take that with a grain of salt lol

[@mrceleb2006]

I would have been a lot happier if you sounded the horn...I expect it to sound like what you hear in an ancient Volvo 240!

[@prestonikard9221]

Awesome review!

[@Dartman101]

I used to have one of these in highschool. It was my first car. Mine was automatic. Too bad it rusted out due to the salt of a few winters.

[@ashtonburgess9569]

Should of washed it

[@Lukasdw02]

For some reason, the front of this car reminds me of a DeLorean, and believe it or not, the DeLorean is my dream car!

[@cyotacorolla1489]

Look up a 1982 - 1983 Datsun 200sx. They look even more Delorean like from the front. Thats why I own two ;)

[@Lukasdw02]

+Cyota Corolla I looked up some pictures of the Datsun 200sx, and sure enough. But I'm just saying that the front end of the '85 Accord also looks like the one on a DeLorean in my opinion.

[@cyotacorolla1489]

they both do thats what im saying. cavaliers from 1984 to 87 have a delorean esque front clip too.

[@stephenwhite4799]

Wow you still have it. I thought you sold it 6 months ago

[@hendrasutopo5777]

hello, greetings, I'm from Indonesia, I happen to have this type of car.. I'm in need of a steering wheel, is it easy to get there?.

[@banataojozeng6010]

how can i buy this car???

[@herrgolf]

Don't drive it in the salt!!!

[@kiwifrog8878]

This car someday will be my first car

[@robertlaracuente5494]

Too late it's my first car.

[@redmr2na]

You must be a classic 80s car person judging by your profile pick of the GREATEST Toyota Celica they ever made, the notorious 85 and an 85 GTS convertible at that. My family owned 1 85 Honda Accord and 1 85 Celica GTS convertible. Kudos to you.

[@aayazahmed5389]

Honda is never a piece of junk. Chevy is.
