Phoenix - I took passenger seat today when my friend who's the original owner of this Special Edition Accord rolled it to 130,000 miles. It's surely one of the best-preserved in existence. Audio Credit: BenSound.com
I do too! Honda's used to always have a specific start sound. That year and model Accord inspired me to get my Accord that I have today. I bought a black 2014 sport model Accord. It reminded me so much of that 93 SE model. The perfect simple but classy style! They are amazing!
I remember waiting impatiently for the 1986 Accord to arrive for me to test drive at Scott Robinson Honda in Torrance, CA. I got into the driver's seat settled in, put my hands on the steering wheel and without turning on the engine, I decided I was going to buy the car. It just felt so right for me. And the test drive just cemented the deal. It was an LX and it took all my will power to wait for the same gray color 5-speed manual EX (slightly more powerful engine and better quality cloth seats), and buy one later on that week. Passed it on to my son at 150K miles and he sold it with 265K miles on it years later. Only problem I could re-call was that the motors on the automatic windows were weak, and toward the end he had trouble with them. Otherwise trouble free. Have since had a Prelude (stick), Acura Legend (stick), CR-V; and now drive an Acura MDX.
@Robert Ford I worked at a Honda store in West Chester PA, Auto Enterprises Honda (now Scott Honda) during the mid 80s and early 90s when these two models came out and we couldn't keep them in stock as soon as they arrived on the car carrier they were already spoken for. They really were amazing cars for the time, actually they are superior to the modern day Honda cars, 98 onward..as the golden years models (mid 80s- mid 90s) were superior in build quality, durability, attention to detail, and driving dynamics, especially some of the driver controls like the manual stick which was brilliant back then and is far better than any car has today, even Honda's of today. I drove them all and if Honda reproduced them to the standard of that time they would have a boom in sales they were really just that incredible in every way.
Gorgeous car, timeless styling. Love the spoiler. That baby will run forever. I have a 2010 Accord LX with a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder K-24 Honda engine with an auto trans. 230,000 miles on her. Under the hood she is all original except for the starter, spark plugs, & battery. Still gets me at least 25 mpg and runs quiet as a mouse. That's my girl.
@Tyson Hugie You can tell from the design that Soichiro Honda had his own hand in this model and design, the attention to detail is amazing, along with the durability, and superior quality, not to mention the great handling for a family sedan, even today. If Honda were to reproduce this model today they would still sell well! I'd go out and buy one tomorrow. What's interesting to me is the appearance of simplicity of function with just the right amount of modern day efficiency.
@Tyson Hugie It was odd because the prior model it was common for them to come with factory fog lamps or to dealer install them, I worked at a honda dealership during this time and weirdly it was not easy to order the OEM fog lamp kit for the cb7 models even through the parts department and it was mentioned there was limited availability of them for reasons I never had an answer too. I wonder why this was at least in the USA.
Some ppl may not be aware but the 93SE was a pretty special car especially the 4-dr. First the cashmere silver paint that was so common during and after '94 was an exclusive to the 93SE sedan only. Next only the SE sedan received dual front airbags In fact Honda redesigned the dash to accom. odate it. Not even the coupe received it. It was the first North American Accord to have ABS and was standard. It had 2 brake fluid reservoirs as a redundant backup. Sadly it was the last Accord SE designated as a top line model since the series started in '85. The SE's were only brought out in the final year of the 3 generations it was produced and always had leather, Bose and various exclusive features unavailable on ordinary Accords...
hiptech I have this exact same car in very nearly the same condition. But this one....has re upholstered seats, OEM floornats (uber rare, although I still have mine, but not as nice) a rear spoiler (optional on sedan, so makes it more rare) OEM Foglights, also rare) then you add in the dash mat and this thing is the holy grail of the 93 accord. These cars are certainly few and far between, I tell people if they buy an se keep it stock!!!! #cb7king
Great video, great car. My aunt had a 1993 Accord and she kept it in such great condition. Ended up trading it in 2004 for the Honda Pilot that had just came out at the time.
That is a super clean 93 Honda Accord SE! First love was the 89 SE-i and when they brought the 93 SE they made it amazing. Too bad every other SE has been a glorified LX. Great work Tyson for showing the glamor sexiness of the 90-93 Honda Accord. These were the days of Divinity in Motion! 👍
Aaron ___ Haha, chill out, there's a target audience for both types of cars. I have a 1994 Acura Legend with 563,000 miles on it, and I also have a 1992 Acura Integra with 72,000 miles on it. I think both are worthy of videos in their own way.
In case anyone was wondering... the brake light indicator was fixed soon after this video was posted. The problem was with the wiring from the power antenna auto down feature. The Honda spoiler accessory has a module that switches wire color between the antenna and tail light assembly. This causes the antenna to retract when the trunk opens so the spoiler does not hit the antenna. It took some time to trace it but it's all sorted out and works fine now. No dash warning light anymore...
That is one clean Accord! We used to have one just like this. Our 93 SE had the moon roof, gold emblems and the leather interior. What was strange about ours was that it had the Accord coupe’s trunk where the tail lights continue towards the license plate. I miss that car sooo much!
Wow this video was a real treat! I had a 1991 accord when I was 16 and I loved that car so much! It was a nice car and ran so good. Seeing the video of the dash view going down the road and the speedometer, clock and even the rear light 💡 burn out bar on the dash brings back so many memories. I wish Honda would make this model again, exactly the same with a brand new engine and transmission and I would buy it all over again. That’s how much I loved this car
I have a 89 Toyota Corolla it has over two million miles on it and still running like a professional lightweight boxer (LOL 😁)that thing has been all over North America, every 230000 MIs i changed the timing belt,, my dad was the original owner who flipped the odometer I'm just carrying the torch!!!! They don't build cars like that anymore!!!!!!!!!! IT WONT DIE Crazy........
Ronald Everson holy shit unbelievable. My 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser has only 265,000 trouble free miles. I intend to hit that 1,000,000 mark Ij my life time lol.
My dad drove that car to work everyday when I was a kid (12)I'm 40 now,,, my sister drives it to work everyday now,,,I never said that they were trouble free miles whatever goes wrong we just fix it,, nothing electrical has gone wrong but it keeps on ticking!!!! It's pretty quick too, LOL 😁😂😁😆😫
What a beautiful car! I'm going to go look at 1993 accord coupe this afternoon. It currently has 127K miles on and in really good shape too. Yours is much cleaner course....lol. I'm very excited to check it out.
To prove it's a 4th Generation Accord, the brake lamp warning is glowing on the instrument cluster, but it's not a bad bulb. It's a small spot of corrosion on the cluster circuit board itself. A leaking capacitor is usually the culprit.
i would give my left anything for a 93 se in that condition My love of the SE started in 1985 when the se-i accord landed. My first car was an 83 accord I always wanted a 93 SE last of the breed
I have a 93 CP SE in same condition and even same color, and it has 87k on it. And it's been kept in garage too. I just bought it 4 months ago for $4950 after not being able to find something newer that was reasonable. I am so glad I bought it. I continue to get offers and people want me to pull over to see it up close. It's my first ever Honda, so happy with it.
The only problem is I live in Pennsylvania and I have to drive it through the winter because it's my only car . Believe me it pains me to have to, but don't worry i wash it every other day if there is snow or sloppy weather. IS THERE A WAY I CAN SEND YOU A PICTURE?
@@TysonHugie I would love to keep in touch about my Honda with you, can you advise me on how to send a picture to you, I'm not very savvy on this stuff.
What a beauty. Very few of us know how special the 1993 SE was, my cousin bought a new one and I remember falling in love with it the minute I sat in the passenger seat, it was as silky smooth as any previous iterations of the Accord, but in a taut, more luxurious kind of way. Years later in 2005 I found a 93 coupe in good condition but always wished it had been a sedan with the dual airbags. Interior wasn't as nice, the leather in Hondas of that era wasn't very durable. I drove it for a couple of years before parting with it (a picture of it is now sort of popular on the web after I uploaded it on Wikipedia on 2006 commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1993_Honda_Accord_SE_coupe_02.jpg ). I'll always have a soft spot for 93 Accord SE sedans, if the owner of this one reads this, this car should eventually go to the Honda museum in California where a lot of mint condition Hondas live and are perpetually kept from the outside world. Thank you for keeping the best version of this generation Accord so clean!
@@TysonHugie I appreciate it man. Oddly cool to realize there are more ubiquitous Accord nerds out there other than myself and a couple of friends I've known over the years. Can you imagine what Honda would be if we could all get to vote on what new Hondas were like?
Acura Man - This 1993 Honda Accord SE brought many wonderful memories of my Beautiful and Exciting 1994 Honda Accord EX fully loaded. My 1994 had major new body style, but the exterior and interior color of this 1993 Accord was identicle to mine. This 1993 Accord seems to be in excellent condition "Kudos" to the owner. Dave from El Paso - PS Tyson how will I get a message from you ? Looking forward in showing my Acura.
I know this is an old video bit i habe been missing my honda. Same as yours but ot was a beater i bought. Tried to fix it up.. It had seen better days. Now i just look at CB7 accord videos. Might be able to buy it back after many years, so wishe luck.
Having the rear spoiler and dash cover make this car even more rare, very few 4dr SE had a spoiler, it was only a dealer option, the SE coupe spoiler came standard, albeit a slightly different shape. Is that an OEM dash cover? If so it'd make this car 1 in a million.
………..I've wanted one of these ever since I can remember. Not just one like it or the same year...………. EVERYTHING right down to the colour and it being an 1993 SE (which to me is the best year and model of Honda Accord). The ONLY thing I would change would be that it's a 2-door SE and not the 4-door. Besides that I start to salivate when I look at this example. I love 'em right down to the leather interior and the bose stereo. The body on this example is downright immaculate which is tough since Hondas are known for developing rust (especially behind the rear wheel wells). BTW: That is totally avoidable if you just take the time to wash in behind the wheel well every time you clean the car. Dirt from daily driving gets caught up there and after years of driving in the wet weather it turns to mud up in behind those wheel wells and it slowly starts to rust. So take heed Accord owners it isn't a done deal that you'll develop rust there...….as long as you keep it clean in that area. :) Of course living in a dry state such as Arizona helps a LOT!! :)
@@TysonHugie in a city near me is a community college that offers a course on how to work on these cars and the whole entire line. When students take it they obtain jobs at Honda dealers and some go far away to NYC with the credintials obtained.
Damn sure is a clean car. Somebody takes very good care of this car. What I wouldn't give to have this car. I have a 97 Saturn sw1 about the same amount of miles. Nowhere as clean
Well thank you. I've only seen one Saturn s station wagon in town. I do see a few 99 to 2002 Saturn s series sedans around town. Just because I noticed them.
I had a 91 SE and also a 93 SE as well. Love these cars. I had 136k on the 91 when i got T-boned by a speeding idiot in an old Pontiac. The 93 only had 104k on it. I foolishly had it in my gf's name and lost it when we split. But I will get another one day and put either a K or H motor in it. Also I used to have a 91 EX coupe with a red top H22A4 mated to the M2B4 LSD equipped tranmission. Absolutely love CB7s!
I have a 1993 Honda Accord LX Auto. It has a lot of rust damage. Mine is near 230,000 miles. I never figured out the huge TCU issue. It still has a blinking D4. Even though I changed some sensors and solenoids. And some TCUs.
My 1996 Honda Accord has 40,000 miles, engine and interior look just as clean. The paint.... not so much. arizona sun + years outside abandoned = faded paint. Awesome daily driver!
The car needs a valve adjustment I know it's been sitting for awhile but the valvetrain makes excessive noise mine doesn't make that noise anymore after the adjustment and runs much better.
I had a 5 speed 1992 ex. I remember changing spark plugs/wires, fresh oil change, and new Yokohama tires. I drove it from NC to Ga in a time that I'm embarrassed to say. It's a very nice car but you do feel like you are literally sitting on the ground. If I had lots of money I would recondition a 1993 SE and use it as my daily driver. It would cost a fortune to get one back in perfect condition.
