6: 1986 Honda Accord College Cruiser
How many college students have the Honda Accord been a trusted mode of transportation for? A lot, which is what Reddit user merkidemis told. “My family bought a 1986 Honda Accord for my brother to use in college. It had all the normal traits that old cars come with: manual everything, various rust spots, horrible suspension, and an AC that when turned on did nothing but turn a little light on. After he graduated and got a new car, it passed to me, and after I used it, it passed to my sister.
“Another particularly annoying downside was that the little pulls on the inside for the locks would break. And the external locks would freeze over or get stuck somehow. By the time my sister got it, you had to go in through the passenger side door and crawl over the center console. Also, rear passengers could only enter on the driver’s side: 3 of the 4 lock pulls were broken, and simply pulling on the handle wouldn’t open the door. Plus, no power locks, of course.”
