Get in-depth info on the 2024 Honda Accord including prices, specs, reviews, options, safety and reliability ratings.
Honda is now on the 11th generation of Accord since the first ones hit our shores as 1976 models. Those introductory cars were all hatchbacks, but the first-generation Accord sedan appeared here for the 1978 model year. When the bigger second-generation Accord showed up as a 1982 model, a four-door sedan version remained part of the lineup.
The 12-valve head design wasn't about making screaming horsepower; four of those valves were tiny ones that fed a rich mixture into preliminary combustion chambers as part of Honda's revolutionary CVCC system. The problem was more related to carburetion rather than the CVCC system, because it's a nightmare to get a technology invented in 1887 to keep levels of internal-combustion hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides at very low levels under every conceivable combination of environmental conditions and driving situation, especially when you have separate rich/lean circuits in your carbs.
Amazingly, the LX Accord came with what would have been considered an excellent audio system by mid-1980s standards. AM, FM and cassette with track sensing, Dolby and metal capability, plus a three-band equalizer and digital tuning.
