The 4th Generation Accords (1990-93) were the best ever built. I had a 92 5spd coupe, it was awesome, reliable,economical, and most importantly fun to drive. I wish I had kept it.
Same. Ran on 3 cylinders for a year plus. Couldn't get her to pass smog, so I had a friend's mechanic (30+ years experience) look at it. He said that, I believe it was cylinder 4, had no compression and he said that he would be surprised if it made it out of the driveway. When my friend told him the above, his eyes went wide 😂 drove it till I couldn't anymore and sold her (and it was still running)
I still have my 1992 Accord. I got it new at the end of 1992 when I was in college. I still only have about 80,000 miles on it, as I have it garaged. I can't believe I've had it so many years. I think it may outlive me!
Get in contact with Honda. If you’ve been a loyal customer to them they may end up wanting to lease it from you for publicity purposes. The Japanese automakers really do love things like this, and often do their best to take care of customers. My mom has been a Toyota driver since the mid 90’s, and on her most recent Camry she ended up getting some money back as a “loyalty incentive”. Toyota literally tracked her purchases across multiple states and when she went for her fourth Camry they basically made her first four payments for her.
IDK, I sold a guy a 2000 accord ex with leather and sunroof (V6) and the interior was damn near perfect. No rust, no accidents. Everything still worked. He's still driving it, it had 205k when I sold it.
I remember going to the dealership with my grandfather back in 1989 when he bought his brand new Accord. He had it until the day he died at 96 years old in 2022 and it still looked brand new!
Old cars compared to newer cars is like comparing source material to a Netflix adaptation. Back when they cared about what their customers were getting and didn't pump out new bullshit on the daily that can be manufactured for a fraction of their asking price. Cars are a representation of how the world is going to shit.
I agree with this but my wife used to work at a Honda manufacturer and she was making $25. Dollars an hour back in 2014 making cars and trucks and that was under paid then
I had one last winter. Great car. Some rust but engine didn't burn a drop of oil. The seats were great. I did the timing belt and it's good for at least 100k more miles.
I have a '97 Prelude. 252,000 miles on it. Still starts and drives like a champ. I think the car lived in the desert for 20 years because while the paint is deep fried, the car has no rust on the body or frame. The interior is in pretty good shape too. All it does is leak oil. It's a 90s Honda. If it's not burning or leaking a little oil, it probably doesn't have any oil lol
I’ve had nothing but Hondas since I was 16 years old and they last forever, are low in cost to maintain, and the resale value is excellent! I love my Honda!
My grandmother had a '92 Accord when she moved to the states from Guam. Meanwhile my grandfather had a '79 Dodge Colt he bought from a relative for cheap.
Worked at pauly honda when that generation was still new on the lot, they where my alltime favorite accord body style, always wanted a Calypso green wagon with a 5 speed
My favorite accord made. I had one back in 08 at 17 and a half yrs old and i miss that car. Im looking for another one now and they are a little scarce.
I bought my wife one in January of 93 and it had 21000 miles on it and it was a four speed manual it was a great car we put over one hundred thousand miles on it
Back in the 90's?? I still have a 1990, absolutely love it!! Speaking of, I'm looking for a 5 speed standard transmission for a 1990 Accord LS, if y'all get one
Lol! I understand. I bought my 92 Accord new and I remember the day I got it like it was yesterday. These young guys here talking about how their father or grandmother bought the car new are talking about us! Did we get old? I don't feel that different. I'm still stuck in the 80's.
I have one now that I'm driving and working on lol engine sounds great! just needs all the bushings and suspension replaced. ( got it used with 150,000 miles on it and I don't think any of the rubber has ever been replaced )
I had a CE7 Accord which is the 5th gen Accord for Europe, and it's basically a redesign of a CB7 Accord, new exterior new interiors but almost everything else is the same as that car (we had different engines but still same series, the F series, and the same displacements, but different engine codes), I loved that car, modified it to shreds, F series hold a ton os Boost, having a built 1.8T making 500whp Audi A4 B5 I do really miss the Honda, and if I could put this engine in the Honda, I would do it.
In 95 my mom bought an Accord wagon with a 5 speed new, and by the time I was done with it it had around 300k on the clock. I miss that car dearly but it just rotted to death 😢
My very first car at 15 years old was a 1993 Accord SE. Absolute tank of a car, I beat the snot out of it and sold it with 230,000 on the clock still ran very strong. Great car.
Me too brother. I have a 2011 civic lx sedan 5 speed manual transmission. I bought it brand new. I put 202,000 miles on it. Everything original except for alternator, and clutch.
I got a 96 Civic LX 1.6L with 180k miles. The engine and gearbox are in excellent condition. Changing the oil and filter every 4k miles. But, the rust is starting to attack. Damn, those engines outlive the body! It just doesn't want to die!
My aunt in goergia had one with a 5 speed in it and it went almost 400,000 miles before it needed a mechanical part for the granny that isn't made anymore so she had to junk it but otherwise it ran just fine I bet if we could've found that part it would still be running
i had a 91 honda accord a few months ago just scrapped the interior was in decent shape and so was the outside but it had a blown motor i tried selling it for $400 but nobody budged i wasnt even willing to go less but nobody wanted it so to the scrap yard she went
I wanted to get one. I found a pristine one in white with red felt interior and I was so mad when the person flaked on me to sell it to someone else for $50 more.
