Congrats on your new car! I'm psyched about mine. And you got way low miles like mine! Awesome. I look forward to seeing some pix in the forum.

Some of the differences between cars depend on Sedan v. Coupe. I have a Sedan. One of the upgrades I'm aware of is that the '89 Sedan came equipped with a double wishbone rear sports suspension that the '88 didn't have. Also, depending on whether yours is a STD (standard) L or LS trim level, there will be some differences in the audio system, airbag, heating/ac features. The book I have covers STD, L, LS. There's a thread on the forum that talks more fully about the diff between years and model levels.

I don't have a Haynes, so I'm not sure how the two manuals compare, however, there is a haynes v. chilton's manual discussion somewhere on this forum that I read recently. A lot of the respondents (some of whom have ALL THREE manuals) report that they recommend the original Acura Service Manual, or that they like to have a couple of manuals on hand for comparison.

The manual is well organized, it has 23 chapters and several fold-out schematics in the back. It's about 400+ pages long.
