I'd add Celica and Prelude! Man, I miss the days of cool sporty coupes.

Back In the Day Mitsubishi actually made a desirable car! How the mighty have fallen

THANK YOU for not cutting into or molesting that RX-7!

I had a '87 Integra and drove it for about 120K miles before selling it to my sister in order to get an Eclipse GSX. She drove the Integra for another 8 years or so before salt damage finally forced her to get rid of it. But that was a great driving car and for it's day looked pretty cool.

I had a blast with my mid 80's Isuzu Impulse. The engine lasted forever. Mine hit over 250k. It was prone to some electrical problems (3 window motors and a few switches) but the engine ran perfect with proper maintainance...when my front axle broke, I put mine out to pasture in 1997...but 13 yrs and over 250k...and I loved it.

Oh and by the way, an awesome 80s car (And into the early 90s) was the Toyota Celica alltrac turbo... ST165 = 80s .... ST185 = 90s (Speaking of pop-up lights of course)

Eunos Roadster, Toyota SOARER, Nissan FAIRLADY Z, Mazda SAVANNA RX-7, Toyota CELICA XX, Honda BALLADE SPORTS CR-X, Honda QUINT INTEGRA, Subaru ALCYONE XT and ALCYONE SVX

The 88 to 91 Honda Prelude (3rd gen, the last gen with popup headlights) with fuel injection, 4 wheel steering and a 5 speed was very fun to drive for a front wheel drive vehicle. Its the only Honda ever to come standard with a power moonroof and had steering so light you could steer with your pinky finger. Its amazing!

Great job guys. I grew up in the 80s and I know these cars. I always knew these cars would make a comeback and that is great.

[brianaustin]

Another cool car from the '80s (but rare these days) was the Mazda 323 GTX. AWD, turbo, and manual - most have been commissioned to rally racing by now.

I had an 89 HF CRX that got 50mpg during high school. I loved that 69hp car. Taught me how to momentum drive and use the most of the power. Tough to find an unmolested one now

[luzovich]

Wow, I owned 2 cars on your list. I had an Eagle Talon TSX AWD Turbo and an Acura Integra RS. Both were tons of fun in totally different ways. The Talon was fast and had amazing grip with the AWD and the Integra was nimble and quick and had great gas mileage.

[Kiss__Kiss]

Oh man, I miss my 1989 Starion ESI-R ... 1st Gen Eclipse gsx was also an awesome car. Will always love the SVX (boxer, not Boxter, Roman )... Also some of these cars you featured were from the early 90s not 80s.. Cool video nonetheless.

Regarding the integra, I was surprised the 1992 integra GSR was not mentioned.this car was rare for its time and had a DOHC vtec engine called the b17a. This car had a 160hp that handled amazing.

[solarflare]

By far the best episode from this channel. Congratulations.

[EliBTR.]

My cousin had an '88 Acura Integra with a 5 Speed, he would burn the tires off that little car! It wasnt very powerful and it was FWD but it was such an awesome car! That car hands down made me love cars.

[adrianjamesNEWS]

A clean CRX is probably the hardest of this list to find. Every single one I’ve ever seen since 2000 has been mangled to death.

[stevenjames]

I loved my old Honda CRX Si! Still the best car I ever had!

[justindavis]

The Acura Integra and 1998-1991 Accord look AMAZING.

I bought an ‘87 Integra 5-door new and kept it for 13 years. That was such a great car. It handled well, was reasonably quick, had a wonderfully low cowl height, and that big hatch made it very practical. The 1.6 was a smooth little jewel and the manual transmission was as good as a front-wheel-drive, cable shifter can be.
