I love the hybrid of smooth and boxy the late 80s and early 90s brought to the table.

I absolutely adore cars like the Delta 88 from this era.

my thoughts exactly. plus the popups are super nice imo. the next question if you guys say it's a good idea would be what about for a first car in the UK? would the insurance on a newly passed driver be obscene or reasonable to keep on the road combined with any other costs an old car might entail

Late 80s foreign cars were great
Skyline GT-R
BMW E30
BMW E34
Honda CRX SiR
AW11 MR2
the list goes on, American cars were majority trash though, considering I'm from it I would know

Not sure about Europe, but older cars are much cheaper to ensure here in Burgerland.

I own a third-gen Accord coupe. Car is slow but ok to drive, and immortal. Pic related.

Look for one with the five-speed and fuel injection- the carb'd examples supposedly don't last quite as long. I'm not sure if the trims were the same in the European market, but here in the US the ones to get were LX-i and SE-i. I believe the latter had rear disc brakes and a sunroof.

one of the ones I've got my eye on local to me has the 5-speed and fuel injection and it's an EX2.0-i so here's hoping. my dad's kinda sceptical on getting an older car because he thinks it'll either be expensive to insure or repair but you guys saying it's cheaper to insure older cars in the usa and that it's immortal are pretty hopeful

??? of course it's a good idea, provided it isn't a hunk of shit
I'd buy one if I could find them... Where are you finding a Aerodeck in the states? Pretty sure they weren't sold here but I could be wrong.

I bought one with 136k on the clock, drove it for a while, turned around and sold it to my brother. Wish i hadnt, but i needed the money, and he needed a reliable vehicle. That thing was the perfect shitbox.
