Honda 480 vs Volvo Aerodeck

levensnevel · Post by **levensnevel** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 3:55 am

I've never driven an Aerodeck because I never was interested in this Japanese clone of our pride and joy. But now I'am supposed to know that a Aerodeck isn't a 480 I wondered whether or not anyone on this messageboard has ever driven a 1986-1987 Honda Aerodeck back to back with his/her Cheese Wedge

What actual differences did you notice.

I don't recall seeing one for years, and I'm always looking at cars

So al of them are the scrappies or they don't drive when and where I drive...

I have seen a few on the net, not as great a following as the 480...which I suppose speaks for itself!!

havent seen one since "bassie and adriaan" (not to be translated)

honda's are good cars. I wish they could aford to buy volvo instead of ford (as there is no worst match) The tech in a honda is suberb, as it comes to progressiveness.

but its a japoneese, in ergonomics for instance they are better, and also worst. in general the seats are worst, but the gear change is better. so this is "lood om oud ijzer" (not able to translate too).

I don't feel a aero deck resembles a 480 at all. its just the basic line of hatchback and the popups

Found one aerodeck enthousiast from Russia.
Very nice website though

Bassie en Adriaan drove a Accord coupe, not an Aerodeck.
this model, but in red

Yes, it's a nice site.

And the topic has been moved...

I raced against two of those accord coupe 2.0litres on the track this year, but my 1.7i ES was quicker

, and it definitely outhandled them too!

sorry, well what the fuzz. I still get to be sweared at as "bassie" or "adriaan" as I am driving

what an insult, comparing my car to a janoneese grey mouse

(for the non dutch: bassie and adriaan were dutch kidds tv stars, bassie was a clown and adriaan, his friend, was an circus arcobat. they all lived silly adventures in a honda with popup lams, fitted with whiscars (!)

Bassie and Adriaan drove a Prelude which was made till 1988

Yessss,

I saw an Aerodeck yesterday afternoon on the Volvolane of the A4 (direction The Hague). 1st one I saw in years which was actually driving

What on earth was she doing there

Gimle · Post by **Gimle** » Mon Nov 10, 2003 2:51 pm

Perhaps she couldn't afford a 480

:D

I see quite a few over here in the UK, they tend to get in my way.......
so does everything else

The Honda owners would no doubt retort "At least they made our car a lot longer" - there was a 2000 (W reg?) registered one on a advertising card in the supermarket last week - had all the toys aparently. 20k on the clock and wanted just under Â£7k for it...

Gimle · Post by **Gimle** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 6:50 am

That's a lot of money for a Honda...

Well Gaz,

think you refer to a later version of the Aerodeck.
The one I have in mind was produced between 1985 and 1989 and looked like this:

Found just 1 Aerodeck 4sale on the Dutch Autotrader website, a my '88. Askingprice EUR 1,250.00 which equals GBP 870.00 give or take a few pence.
