I beat you because I had the exact same car, but with an automatic. It wasn't even particularly hondalike, as the headliner was peeling down in the back, the drivers' side window regulator barely worked when it was cold out, and the 12v accessory port shorted out somewhere behind the dash and so I could no longer plug my iPod/phone in to charge. So many little gremlins and things failing in the interior, and it had less than 120k; it was crumbling apart like a Cavalier or something.

Are we playing Car Game here? I have a silver 1998 Accord EX sedan with grayish-beige interior and automatic. I actually really like it, it's been reliable and efficient in the three years I've had it. It does have alloys that are corroded as hell from its first ten years in Virginia but otherwise has zero rust. Also has the "urban camo" paint that's falling off like all Hondas of this era do. Don't care, driving it til it dies (184k now, so probably when I'm like 60.) Oddly, this car kind of stands out where I live, it's all <5-year-old European sedans and/or giant domestic SUVs.

This thread has got me wondering what it would have looked like 10, 20, 30 years ago.

2004: Jellybean Escort? (In addition to all the late 90s Japanese sedans posted so far.)
1994: late 80s Japanese econobox or old full size GM barge?
1984: no clue, Vega/Pinto/Chevette?
