We took an 800km road trip back to my hometown of Mississauga, Ontario to drive my 1990 Honda Accord LX. Read our full review here: goo.gl/WzScAG
In 2012 I bought this 1990 Honda Accord LX from the second owner and kept it for about 3 and a half years before needing to free up some garage space. I was unsuccessful selling it for 6 months so I decided to transfer the ownership to my father, which meant we had the opportunity to feature it on TestDrive.
The CB7 Honda Accord is one of the most popular in my opinion, with plenty of them still on the roads today, and many enthusiasts sticking with this platform nearly 30 years since it was launched. Our Spotlight on the 1990 Honda Accord LX goes over all the features from the 4th generation Accord base model, along with a comprehensive rundown of the features found on the Accord EX, and EX-R models for Canada, as well as the SE and 10th Anniversary Edition models released. We take the Accord on a quick drive and go over the common problems with this generation of mid-size car.
The CB7 Honda Accord came in 3 body styles, the sedan which we're featuring here, a coupe, and the wagon (CB9). We cover some of the OEM upgrades we've done with this LX, such as the front fog lights, rear trunk spoiler, side window sun visors, interior arm rest, factory radio with CD, and painted bumpers & trim.
For more information about the 4th gen Honda Accord we recommend visiting www.cb7tuner.com.
TestDrive is proudly produced in Acton, Québec, Canada. This episode was filmed in Mississauga, Ontario.

I love my 92 accord ex coupe. My dad owned it gave it to me when I was 16 and 10 years later I still have it. The rust in the back sucks and isn't cheap to fix but i do love the car more then my 08 and 14 civic si its like going back into time when I drive the car. My kids always sad to see it get cold because I put it up in the winter but come spring time they get beyond excited. It's an amazing car.

@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад

Tell me about it! This was our #1 fear during ownership of it, especially being part of local/international CB7 groups and hearing about thefts. Ours wasn't special, nothing worth stealing on it really, but since they're so easy too someone could have done so just for a joy ride.

We can certainly appreciate that. We had the graphics built for us about a year ago, we asked for a template to be made based off another spec page we liked, and the designer ended up copying it more than we had liked. Truthfully we feel any of that information is relatively useless since it can be easily found on Wikipedia or other sources. Problem is the graphic was built with that many columns and it's beyond our After Effects skillset to remove them. We're always looking at ways to improve the videos so we'll see what we can do!

Thanks! The thumbnail was the final form of the car before we transferred the ownership. I was pretty proud of that hood protector, bought it from a guy who bought it new and never used it. Ended up selling it for about $200 before I transferred the car. Aside from that it's pretty much in the same condition it was before. I think it's only driven about 2,000km since 2016.

@Tahvyy 6 лет назад

Those fog lights were rare in the states. A friend of mine had a 92 ex with fog lights and the standard tape deck with the single CD player underneath the tape deck. In high school I had a 92 ex coupe manual, black with tan interior. I couldn’t believe I found the exact one I was looking for with 80,000 miles. This was back in 1997. I think these are the best accords especially if they have the 5sp manual. I like how you painted the black bumpers, it really helps it from looking old and cheap.

@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад

They definitely are rare, especially now. Ours are a little beaten up, in fact they weren't working for the video shoot which is why they weren't shown off. We really love this generation Accord, and it's great that you found the exact one you wanted! We're hoping to feature another CB7/CB9 down the road, we're going to do our best to find a manual too!

@Marshal_Dunnik 5 лет назад

A bona fide classic from Honda's Golden Age. That's awesome that you put in an OE audio unit, way to keep it original. Was much more of a driver's car compared to anything in its class or price range. Rust is the only thing that killed them. If somebody is in the market for one, try to find an un-molested SE or EX-R with a 5-speed.

@PRNTestDrive 5 лет назад

Either one I'd jump on. Someone was selling an EX-R wagon in this area a couple months ago but apparently it was really rusted out. I looked at an EX-R wagon about 6 months before buying my 7 Series but it too had a lot of rust problems.

to be fair it's really safe, I had a accident hitting a semi trailer on highway one here in BC. I was going 130kmh and fell asleep, swerved and fish tailed it on the side. the motor shut off turned the key started right away still, pulled to the side. spoke to the truck driver and he was really kind and he didnt report the incident "he felt bad for me and my car". I checked my radio it was all empty so I filled it with water and drove it home lol. I know I was lucky and I will never drive tired again because I was coming home after work.

Perpetual Radio Networks Two things have helped Honda make such an awesome Accord. 1 The fight against the SUV craze and 2 their heavy involvement in Formula 1 just like in the early 90’s with McLaren. I think Honda will also start doing well against Mercedes and Ferrari in F1 for next years season. Honda makes Their own engines always have and currently making turbo engines for F1 and Indy car. The Type R FWD world record at the Nurburgring was no coincidence. Honda is on Fire right now. Awesome I feel sorry for the competition. 😆. I am not really a Honda fanboy.

I’ve had two of these myself, a 90 EX and a 93 SE, and both suffered sad endings. My 90 EX was all tricked out with 15” Fittipaldis, Yakima roof racks, and 2 15’s in the trunk but was unfortunately stolen just a couple months after I bought it. I was 16 years old and I cried. My 93 SE was all stock but I had it for longer and it even made the cross-country move with me from GA to CA back in 2002 (and then back to GA in 2003 lol), but I later sold it to a buddy who proceeded to total it (he didn’t die however, lol).

Awesome video. Did you never have any problems with the automatic transmission? I am about to buy a 91 Accord and it shifts kind of hard.

Never any transmission problems, but I did do a couple fluid flushes during the time I owned it. Hopefully you can sort yours out!

I had a two door cb7. It was super reliable. How is ur 7 series. I love your bimmer. I think its the best 7 series style. What is the gas mileage and cost of maintenance please.

@PRNTestDrive 5 лет назад

We've done some comprehensive videos on the 7 Series' maintenance costs over the 3 years, but I believe we averaged about $6,000 worth of maintenance costs per year. Fuel econ for us was around 11L/100km on premium fuel.

@louisjames1062 6 лет назад

Why do you call it e brake?? I’m from uk, why not p brake, as in parking brake, what’s the e stand for

@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад

I'm not sure if there's a real rule here, but I always refer to the hand brake as an E-Brake, or emergency brake, since you can pull it if your brake pedal locks up/fails and have no other option. The new electronic brakes like the one on the 2017 Mazda6 6MT we're reviewing right now, or even the push pedal ones found on a lot of SUVs are what I call parking brakes, since they really shouldn't be used when the car is being driven. That's just me though!

@louisjames1062 6 лет назад

PRN - Perpetual Radio Networks interesting, on my Range Rover sport the hand brake is electronic so not sure if it would let you engage it whilst moving or in drive. Here we call it hand brake or parking brake. E brake suggests electronic, on my car it’s called epb electronic parking brake,

@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад

Good to know! I miss being able to pull the hand brake manually, the new electronic ones certainly do the job well but don't feel as satisfying.

Even if it's 60,000 mi that's basically nothing. These cars will last forever. My father still has this car though it rarely gets driven. Biggest problem for him these days is finding a mechanic that can get parts for it. The car itself will last forever.

@gtgodbear6320 4 года назад

I never liked the pop-up headlights. That model looks better with standard headlights.

The previous generation Accord had the pop-up lights, overall the design is similar enough to this, more of an improvement & evolution in design over a complete revolution.

That's not an LX model LX came with power Windows but they didn't have a Sunroof like the EX models you have a DX model it was the lowest trim level they came with Manual windows and no Sunroof the climate controls also were different on the DX models your Accord is a DX not an LX

@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад

I believe we mentioned this at the beginning, however the Ontario license plates should have been the dead giveaway that the two vehicles we featured here are Canadian models. As a CB7 enthusiast you should know the trim models had different letters up here than in the US.

@static_Tricolor_camry 6 лет назад

Perpetual Radio Networks I used to have a 91Accord LX it had power windows but it didn't have a Sunroof I'm telling you that Honda didn't place the correct badge on their Accords I even own a Dark Blue 92 Accord LX with an EX Badge on the back it is a true LX model but yours came with Manual windows and no Sunroof manual door locks meaning it's a true DX base model not an LX I want you to look up your vin number and go to your local DMV and tell me if the vin number isn't coming back as a DX base model cause the vin number doesn't lie

@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад

I'd check out CB7Tuner to look into it. In Canada, we had 3 trims. The LX, EX, and EX-R, which translated to the DX, LX, and EX. The Canadian LX (American DX) is what we have here, I don't have the VIN handy but you can ask around on CB7Tuner, there are a lot of US owners who picked up the Canadian EX-R just to have the badge and VIN for it.
