I really miss my Mom's '79 Accord (hatchback). Peppy car and fun to ride in. I just wish I had the pictures to scan and upload here. I'd have to visit Momma's house and find 'em!
My father is a Honda mechanic, and our family was exclusively a Honda family for about 20 years, until my dad got a Subaru Forester. Plainly because Honda doesn't make a wagon we wanted. We were primarily looking for Legacy wagons, but the Forester was being offered for such a nice price that we bought it.

On a side note, I love how many tangents this thread has gone to.

Hondas we've owned or still own.

1979 Civic wagon (we threw that out)
1980 Honda Accord hatchback (given to my uncle, he hit a deer in it)
1983 Honda Accord (that we still own)
1989 Acura Integra 4 door hatchback (we threw that out too)
1995 Acura TL (still own, and my dad just resprayed it)

My extended family owns Hondas too.

1994 Acura Legend (uncle's car, still driven)
1982 Accord sedan (threw that out ages ago, uncle's car)
1987 Civic 4 door hatchback (gone)
1989 Civic Si hatchback (my uncle hydroplaned it and threw it out)
Integra GSi- my uncle owned 2 Integra GSis, both of which was stolen, both of which were red. The first one was a manual.
