Literally never heard someone say a single bad thing about an accord except for about their styling which of course they gradually get used to and eventually love and then hate that they change it.
These are slept on. Sure they’re not as light and nimble as the civics. That said they have character where it counts if you put the right motor into one. I recently got a 93 accord with a JDM H22A and it has been a blast to drive.
These are not "slept" on, nor "hated" ..the new gen of car enthusiasts are just late to the party..people buy them with 3 4 hundred thou on the dash and they still pull strong
@@joshsimmons2663 never really got the chance to experience the F22 but man does this H22 scream. It has a very quiet exhaust on it (like 2 resonators and a muffler). But the engine itself is loud with the intake. Has the 5 speed too so I get the enjoyment of rowing gears
@@MFullaStyle I mean that as they died off. The person who I bought mine from even told me around the late 2000’s everything started to dip down for the Accords. Now looking for things, I mainly can only find suspension and a hand full of wheels. Luckily, they’re legos so I can swap over the 5 lug from the newer accords. I also talk to a big Honda group in my city and even they state they no longer see anything Accord related from the 90’s. Hell the prelude is uncommon too.

I had 3 accords in the 94-97 generation back in the day… I loved those things. They were wide, super stable when updated suspension was added and more comfortable and nicer than the Civics of the day. Also the 2.2liters I had sounded better as well. Thanks for the trip down memory lane

Always loved that gen Accord. Not sure if I’m in the minority but I always thought the 94-95 front end looked slightly more aggressive than the 96-97 refresh front end. 94-95 wagon lowered on 18” wheels with H22 and manual gearbox would be the perfect combo.
The 5th gens are without a doubt, a badass looking car. Great to customize and simple to work on...no need for expensive scopes or computers, just 10 and 12 mm wrenches.

This was the first car I ever owned! It had a F22B1 VTEC, but with an H23 head swap. This thing was a blast. I wish I never got rid of the CD4 ACCORD. I’m trying to find my old car if not something similar.
I daily a 97 EX sedan with 322k on it. Amazingly well put together car. My sweetheart car is a 1990 Accord EX that I manual swapped then rebuilt the engine in. The general consensus is that the 4th gen was the most favorite Accord followed by 3rd then 5th. 5th gen is nice, but the interior quality materials and design started cheapening a little bit more compared to 3rd and 4th due to the economy at the time so cost cutting was evident, though it did become more modern in design that previous gens. I also think 90-93 had a more aggressive design. I had a 91 wagon before that that had a Accord type R h22 red top with a t2w4 lsd manual in it.. that thing was spectacular, and I kept the AC and PS. Sounds like the 4th gen Si lude transmission isn't the best match for vtec in this car.. gears are way too long. The best combination is to get a h22 trans and use the Accord 5th gear so it's not revving 4k @ 80mph.
I never hated the accord i still plan on owning one and tuning like point 2 point turbo's accord i went to prison behind these cars but it was a really reliable vehicle...i especially like the wagon 😎
V6 Accords get much more respect, due to better performance out of the box. Especially the 7th and 8th gen with the 6 speed. The Accord is a bigger Civic. You want an Accord with VTEC, it just makes sense to get a Civic instead for most.
Super grateful for my dad gifting me a 5th gen accord as my first car. It has 200k miles, and has had plenty of issues pop up, but being able to work on these things myself without hassle (except the stupid captive rotors) has been a blessing. Love my accord. I even installed coil overs and cold air intake myself!
I've been saying this since I got in the car scene. My first car was a cb7 1990 accord. I boosted the f22a6 in it.i gapped civics and mustangs all day. So when I got deeper people told me civics are better than accords. I was like what? Since then I have owned nothing but accords. I own a 1994 and a 1998 right now but people sleep on out chassis. Those j accords are nice too. People always jump to every other honda and I hate that. Thanks for this episode dude.
I have a 1996 accord ex sedan I plan on putting a twin turbo charge in it and a computer system with a added on straight pipe once i take the muffler off😭❤️
love my 8th gen exl v6 coupe. the 6spd really brings it alive and the j series engine makes smooth fun and reliable power. not to mention the styling is great. more people should definitely get into accords.
Ieope wanna D... ride one if the reasons I steered away from the tuner scene everyone wants you to nave a sporty car or a car bu their standard which is bogus I'm my opinion
I've always been an Accord fanboy. Some of the sickest rides back in the day were those Accord coupes. In fact, the most affordable "tuner" cars were Accords because kids would get them from their mom or dad. I remember falling in love with the 6th Gen Coupe in 1997 when it first hit the market. I walked past one everyday at University. One of the profs drove it. Thought it was so sick. Even today, I'd drive an older Accord no problem. I also liked the Acura Vigors. Thinking about buying a JDM version as I live in Japan. They are called "Inspire" here. Not many people know that, but I do.
I had a 1994 with the base VTEC motor and had dreams to H22 swap it but sold it before I had a chance. It is by far my favorite generation of accord and one day I hope to get another to replace it! Glad to see such a clean build getting love and attention!
This was my first car, 95 accord f22 VTEC, I jumped the car, reverse donuts in it, e brake slides, burnouts, raced everything I came up next to, etc. I beat the car everyday as hard as I could for about a year before someone rear ended me and totaled it. The car WOULD NOT die. It will forever hold a place in my heart, definitely an unappreciated platform. Thanks for the video!
Anyone else kind of trip out that car's we used to see all over when we were younger are now becoming coveted and prized? Like legit a honda accord from the 90's, a car many of my family members owned which i never batted an eye at, is special now?! Crazy man.
Not sure who hates the Accord, but they're wild. The Accord, even if you're a Nissan or Toyota fan, is a very respectable car. It's always been the more fun and "sportier" inspired car compared to the Camry or Altima. Heck, hasn't Car and Driver put the Accord on the best driving car for like 20+ years?
The CB7 will always have a special place in my heart. I had a minty fresh 91 DX as a 1st car from my grandma with no airbags and crank windows. Sold it to some kid who of course totaled it immediately. Still miss that car, body lines on the 4th gen were perfect 😢
As a Honda fan and 5th time Civic owner i would say the Accords are under appreciated. Before my current FG4 i was looking at V6 Accords with the J series motor. I recently heard a modified one and it sounded amazing yet unique.
I still have my 94' LX coupe original owner. I have the same 5 speed engine, cold air intake, muffler, adjustable cam gear, 2-inch drop on 17s. I have been using it as a daily driver the last 3 months. It is a fun drive and a head turner.
Accords can be anything. You can have a great daily, a crazy fast Euro-R, or bagged and classy. 2-doors are nice when modified. And they are big bodied. They are definitely a treat
Very awesome! I had a 94 Prelude 4ws with a H22a swap out of Japan. That car cornered like it was on rails and was fast!! I should have never sold it! Nice video and thanks for this trip down memory lane.
I used to have cd5 accord. With a lot of Jdm parts with a h22A swap. I didn’t get a lot of love back then. But now, I do see more people appreciate this gen accord.
Just Titled my 1994 Accord with 25k original miles. Was my Fathers car , when he passed in 2012 i changed the oil and put it away in the garage as i already had 3 cars. After 8 years i was in an accident with my truck. I went to tile honda but misplace title, that was 2020. Found it and just recently titled it. Brought to Mobil one oil change place and the owner wanted to buy it. 12 years in the garage new battery starts right up (no check engine light)it had 4 brand new Michelins on it that dry rotted and had to be changed as well. Running a little rough till the computer rel earns. so i took it out for an Italian tune up yesterday and it like it alot!
I have owned multiple accords over the years, adored them all. I presently drive a 2008 accord and still enjoy its simplicity and reliability despite its flaws starting to show due to its age and how much it has been passed along in my family. If possible, I would love to have an engine and transmission rebuild done with full electrical work done so it can last another 20 years easily. Oh, also replacing the seat bolstering would be nice too. I have owned a 1984, 1986, 1989, 1994, the 2008 I now drive, 1987 accord and have driven the living snot out of all of them. Great cars.
I do have a 1995 cd5 accord with a Jdm H22a 5 speed manual swapped. I purchased it back in 1996 with 15k miles. Did the swap back in 2002. Chassis now has 492k miles and the h22a engine at 300k miles. I still love the car to this day.
My first car was a 94 accord 2door with an H22. It’s the car that introduced me to car culture, an affordable way for a kid to get involved. I honestly miss that car sometimes.
I have a 06 4cyl accord back home and miss it a lot, it was my first car so i’ve made a lot of car memories with it. Stock k24 with wheel and suspension mods cleaned up really nice.
Ive got a 95 LX that i lifted a couple years ago. Snapped a piston rod on a road trip and recently got another f22b2 put in it while i rebuild and upgrade the original engine.
watching this brings back memories of my 97 accord with the f20b2. was a beast of a first car for a 97 baby like myself, car was made same year i was born.
I have a 92 CB7 I recently F20B swapped & a 94 CE1 manual swapped wagon. I love them! I drive the wagon more than I do my EG hatch at this point lol. Only bad would be the automatics in the 98-02 & maintenance on the early V6s
Finally my car is featured! Love the clickbait title as always 😂 To sum up why these aren't seen as often: parts are rare. Like really rare. To the point where it has taken me over 5 years to collect specific parts for what I need for my H22A1 swap and exterior making it a JTCC touring car replica. In the span I found my car in 2017, an enthusiast in Thailand hand made replica parts for the car! I finally received them this year in 2023 and prior to 2020, literally it didn't exist. It's all lost in the times with many sought after parts being held by owners to this day or hidden away. Glad you got to experience a nice example of one!
FINALLY!! I own a 95 accord four door myself and absolutely love it even though mine is rusted with a f22b2 but factory five speed with a sunroof but its my baby and yeah the interior is absolutely amazing for comfort
My first car I modified was a 96 SiR that I got imported from Canada. Had the actual CD6 chassis code with the H22a and 5mt. Fantastic cars and I miss mine regularly.
I love my Honda Accords, I have three, one is a 2002 coupe 4 cyl. 5speed man. And I have two 2004 sedans with the k24A 5 speed man. transmissions. They're practically indestructible! The sedans have almost 270k miles on them and the coupe with only 160k miles and they are all going strong to this day and for many more in the future. You're friends Accord is really nice, he did some tasteful mods on it that's not too subtle but not outrageous either.
Awesome video on 5th generation of Accord with H23A Blue top, it is good mild power and torquey. I have my 94 Accord on H23A Blue Top with T2W4, love it. 😁👌
My auntie use to have one back then and I actually love the car even if I didn’t know much about cars when I was little. It was just a base model accord with a 5 speed automatic.
I not only muffler delete but completely removed the exhaust system on my 8th gen accord and it sounds so similar to this just bigger backshots. K24 baby
As a proud owner of every usdm flavor of 3rd gen accord, 87,88,89, i can tell you they are the *most* slept on old school platform honda made , also -[pop]- up headlights
Same as most cars are hated - the people who drive them lol. 6MT accord drivers are the try-hardiest pick-me types on the road lmao. Right down there with Infiniti G-series, GTi and Audi guys.
There's such a big Accord community, these are super common to see modded like the civics of their time (ie lowering springs and a sad excuse for a muffler that sounds like an army of bees in a tin can) That said, I love my Accord. I've had people tell me it looks like a mom car but it was my mom's car before it became mine so I guess it makes sense. When I was really young mom had a 5th gen like this one but then she got a 7th gen that became mine (and she's driving a 9th gen now)
I used to want this chassis as my first car back in high school (early-mid 00s). You can swap in a F20B or H22A easily. A spirited reliable daily driver
As someone that grew up in a country that Accords are not really a thing but Civics are, they aways catch my eye with that feeling of "the neighbours grass is aways greener" and I wonder why they didnt catch on as a tuner car as the Civic did, specially this gen, they can look amazing with certain mods
I live for 90’s Hondas! I have the next gen Honda accord coupe “fancy version” AKA the Acura CL 3.0 coupe and loved every minute of owning it. Will miss it for sure.
I drive a 9th gen earth dreams k series with a cvt. While I wish I had the manual it still offers a lot of fun in an extremely reliable and pretty luxurious ride. Love the look of Accords to except for the 8th gen.
I'm currently driving a 94' Accord LX trim with 148,000KM on it. Sadly it's autotragic, but with the traffic now adays, that's not the worst thing ever for me. It's nearly 30 years old at this point so I've found some problems, leaking power steering, a bit of rust here and there. But other than that and regular maintenance items, it's been a great car. Everyone is shocked by the interior. Expecting it to just be a shitbox, when it's really more like a couch. Comphy, wide, and low. What a fun vibe. Honestly, love the thing.
I driven this year accord and fell in love with them. I have looked at the 6th gen 4dr with the 2.3 sohc vtec, they are slept on and easy to swap to 5 lug.
I've owned a 3rd Gen, 6th Gen, and my current 9th Gen. The 6th Gen with the F23 was a really nice looking car, took mods well, and was decent fun. My 2013 LX-S with the 6spd and K24 (K-Tune) is on another level. It is faster than it has any business being, and looks fantastic. I have quibbles about some fit and finish, but overall a great car. I've generally felt that the coupes looked better from 2001 until they were cancelled in 2017 than their sedan counterparts. Drive better too.
You've officially reviewed all of the cars i've had- 94 Accord (CD5), 2003 Maxima and a 2016 Q50 3.0t. I miss my 94 Accord. Definitely wanted to H22 swap it...but broke college kid in 2009 😅
the only one people want to hate on right now is the 2023. and it's mostly styling, which is totally subjective, but they do stand out to me and look really modern. just really different from the previous. and there's people upset about no optional larger engine, it is the first year. I'd also say don't be a coward and install the ktuner
I never knew the honda accord was hated. I always thought it was amongst the best selling mid sized cars.
It is. I wouldn’t necessarily say the cars themselves are hated it’s more or less the owners.
They never really got the love that the Civic coupes and hatches did. The accord, no matter how nice or modified, was always viewed as a high school car. Ive never heard one person praise the accord as anything other than a run around or hogh schoolers car.

It has 200k miles, and has had plenty of issues pop up, but being able to work on these things myself without hassle (except the stupid captive rotors) has been a blessing. Love my accord. I even installed coil overs and cold air intake myself!
These 94-97 accords are the very best and I never knew they were hated by anyone. It’s my daily and my MKIV Supra is hardly ever driven
I've been saying this since I got in the car scene. My first car was a cb7 1990 accord. I boosted the f22a6 in it.i gapped civics and mustangs all day. So when I got deeper people told me civics are better than accords. I was like what? Since then I have owned nothing but accords. I own a 1994 and a 1998 right now but people sleep on out chassis. Those j accords are nice too. People always jump to every other honda and I hate that. Thanks for this episode dude.
The F22A4 is fucking indestructible with a 5 speed.
I have a 1996 accord ex sedan I plan on putting a twin turbo charge in it and a computer system with a added on straight pipe once i take the muffler off😭❤️

love my 8th gen exl v6 coupe. the 6spd really brings it alive and the j series engine makes smooth fun and reliable power. not to mention the styling is great. more people should definitely get into accords.
Ieope wanna D... ride one if the reasons I steered away from the tuner scene everyone wants you to nave a sporty car or a car bu their standard which is bogus I'm my opinion
I've always been an Accord fanboy. Some of the sickest rides back in the day were those Accord coupes. In fact, the most affordable "tuner" cars were Accords because kids would get them from their mom or dad. I remember falling in love with the 6th Gen Coupe in 1997 when it first hit the market. I walked past one everyday at University. One of the profs drove it. Thought it was so sick. Even today, I'd drive an older Accord no problem. I also liked the Acura Vigors. Thinking about buying a JDM version as I live in Japan. They are called "Inspire" here. Not many people know that, but I do.
How is it out there? I plan on moving there in the near future
I had a 1994 with the base VTEC motor and had dreams to H22 swap it but sold it before I had a chance. It is by far my favorite generation of accord and one day I hope to get another to replace it! Glad to see such a clean build getting love and attention!
I love the Accord Chasis , I have a mint 1992 Accord EX AKA CB7 no rust very clean with a H23A Swap full Bolt ons.
pushing 220whp Tuned.
This was my first car, 95 accord f22 VTEC, I jumped the car, reverse donuts in it, e brake slides, burnouts, raced everything I came up next to, etc. I beat the car everyday as hard as I could for about a year before someone rear ended me and totaled it. The car WOULD NOT die. It will forever hold a place in my heart, definitely an unappreciated platform. Thanks for the video!
Anyone else kind of trip out that car's we used to see all over when we were younger are now becoming coveted and prized? Like legit a honda accord from the 90's, a car many of my family members owned which i never batted an eye at, is special now?! Crazy man.
Not sure who hates the Accord, but they're wild. The Accord, even if you're a Nissan or Toyota fan, is a very respectable car. It's always been the more fun and "sportier" inspired car compared to the Camry or Altima. Heck, hasn't Car and Driver put the Accord on the best driving car for like 20+ years?
The CB7 will always have a special place in my heart. I had a minty fresh 91 DX as a 1st car from my grandma with no airbags and crank windows. Sold it to some kid who of course totaled it immediately. Still miss that car, body lines on the 4th gen were perfect 😢
As a Honda fan and 5th time Civic owner i would say the Accords are under appreciated. Before my current FG4 i was looking at V6 Accords with the J series motor. I recently heard a modified one and it sounded amazing yet unique.
I've always loved the accord! I've owned a 91, 97,and now I own a 19 Accord 2.0T
I still have my 94' LX coupe original owner. I have the same 5 speed engine, cold air intake, muffler, adjustable cam gear, 2-inch drop on 17s. I have been using it as a daily driver the last 3 months. It is a fun drive and a head turner.
My parents had this when I was a kid and I loved it so much because of how sporty it looked and felt. Now I drive a 2016 Accord Sport with the K24.
My first stick shift was a 94 Honda accord (in 2007). I loved that thing so much. I now own a Golf R (still manual), but I genuinely miss that Accord
Accords can be anything. You can have a great daily, a crazy fast Euro-R, or bagged and classy. 2-doors are nice when modified. And they are big bodied. They are definitely a treat
Very awesome! I had a 94 Prelude 4ws with a H22a swap out of Japan. That car cornered like it was on rails and was fast!! I should have never sold it! Nice video and thanks for this trip down memory lane.
I used to have cd5 accord. With a lot of Jdm parts with a h22A swap. I didn’t get a lot of love back then. But now, I do see more people appreciate this gen accord.
Drove a boosted f23 6th gen for 5 years. was my first car and first manual car. I learned a lot from that car and miss it still 8 years later
My first car (that wasn't a hand-me-down) was an '88 Accord. Love that car to this day. Would love to get into an early 90s Accord project.
There is a 99 accord in my front yard and a 01 that's my dad 😮
Just Titled my 1994 Accord with 25k original miles. Was my Fathers car , when he passed in 2012 i changed the oil and put it away in the garage as i already had 3 cars. After 8 years i was in an accident with my truck. I went to tile honda but misplace title, that was 2020. Found it and just recently titled it. Brought to Mobil one oil change place and the owner wanted to buy it. 12 years in the garage new battery starts right up (no check engine light)it had 4 brand new Michelins on it that dry rotted and had to be changed as well. Running a little rough till the computer rel earns. so i took it out for an Italian tune up yesterday and it like it alot!
I have owned multiple accords over the years, adored them all. I presently drive a 2008 accord and still enjoy its simplicity and reliability despite its flaws starting to show due to its age and how much it has been passed along in my family. If possible, I would love to have an engine and transmission rebuild done with full electrical work done so it can last another 20 years easily. Oh, also replacing the seat bolstering would be nice too.
I have owned a 1984, 1986, 1989, 1994, the 2008 I now drive, 1987 accord and have driven the living snot out of all of them. Great cars.
I do have a 1995 cd5 accord with a Jdm H22a 5 speed manual swapped. I purchased it back in 1996 with 15k miles. Did the swap back in 2002. Chassis now has 492k miles and the h22a engine at 300k miles. I still love the car to this day.
My first car was a 94 accord 2door with an H22. It’s the car that introduced me to car culture, an affordable way for a kid to get involved. I honestly miss that car sometimes.
My first project car when I was 18 was a CB7 Accord H22a turbo swapped.. I really want to build another Accord love those older bodies.
My first car, 97 accord. It’s been in the same family its entire life before I bought it and because of that it was kept in very good condition.
I have a 06 4cyl accord back home and miss it a lot, it was my first car so i’ve made a lot of car memories with it. Stock k24 with wheel and suspension mods cleaned up really nice.
Ive got a 95 LX that i lifted a couple years ago. Snapped a piston rod on a road trip and recently got another f22b2 put in it while i rebuild and upgrade the original engine.
This video popped up on my feed after I just got an H22A for my 6th gen. Grew up on accords and always loved them ❤
I used to laugh at Honda's until I discovered the Best Motoring series. Now I have a new found respect for them.
This is one of the nicest 5th gen Accord builds I think I've seen. Great color too!
I’d have taken that Accord back in the day as a first car. Easy to work on like David said and can be fun.
watching this brings back memories of my 97 accord with the f20b2. was a beast of a first car for a 97 baby like myself, car was made same year i was born.
My dad had one when I was a kid and I’ve wanted one of my own ever since!
I have a 92 CB7 I recently F20B swapped & a 94 CE1 manual swapped wagon. I love them! I drive the wagon more than I do my EG hatch at this point lol. Only bad would be the automatics in the 98-02 & maintenance on the early V6s
Finally I been waiting on this. Very slept on platform for sure. They ride so well. Got the 91 and the 96 Accord.
Finally my car is featured! Love the clickbait title as always 😂
To sum up why these aren't seen as often: parts are rare. Like really rare. To the point where it has taken me over 5 years to collect specific parts for what I need for my H22A1 swap and exterior making it a JTCC touring car replica. In the span I found my car in 2017, an enthusiast in Thailand hand made replica parts for the car! I finally received them this year in 2023 and prior to 2020, literally it didn't exist. It's all lost in the times with many sought after parts being held by owners to this day or hidden away.
Glad you got to experience a nice example of one!
FINALLY!! I own a 95 accord four door myself and absolutely love it even though mine is rusted with a f22b2 but factory five speed with a sunroof but its my baby and yeah the interior is absolutely amazing for comfort
i had a 2002 Accord coupe, 4 cylinder 5 speed and i freaking loved that thing man. that was a great car.
My first car I modified was a 96 SiR that I got imported from Canada. Had the actual CD6 chassis code with the H22a and 5mt. Fantastic cars and I miss mine regularly.
Sometimes I miss my 2000 3.0 V6 Accord sedan. It was so fun to drive and the looks aged gracefully inside and out.
Love that build, clean is always the way to go man I swear
I got 2 of em. Wago in green with f22B1 and a purple sedan with the f22A. Even the old F block is still a blast
I love my Honda Accords, I have three, one is a 2002 coupe 4 cyl. 5speed man. And I have two 2004 sedans with the k24A 5 speed man. transmissions. They're practically indestructible! The sedans have almost 270k miles on them and the coupe with only 160k miles and they are all going strong to this day and for many more in the future. You're friends Accord is really nice, he did some tasteful mods on it that's not too subtle but not outrageous either.
Wanted one in coupe form back in the day. Never panned out but I’ve always liked them.
I have a 6th gen. What a good car. One day it’ll be swapped. They’re underrated!
Awesome video on 5th generation of Accord with H23A Blue top, it is good mild power and torquey. I have my 94 Accord on H23A Blue Top with T2W4, love it. 😁👌
My auntie use to have one back then and I actually love the car even if I didn’t know much about cars when I was little. It was just a base model accord with a 5 speed automatic.
Currently dailying an 1.5t 6 speed Accord. I’m impressed with the midrange torque from turbocharging.
There is a few of us who adore this Generation Accord specifically. Thanks for making the video.
I not only muffler delete but completely removed the exhaust system on my 8th gen accord and it sounds so similar to this just bigger backshots. K24 baby
As a proud owner of every usdm flavor of 3rd gen accord, 87,88,89, i can tell you they are the *most* slept on old school platform honda made , also -[pop]- up headlights
Same as most cars are hated - the people who drive them lol.
6MT accord drivers are the try-hardiest pick-me types on the road lmao. Right down there with Infiniti G-series, GTi and Audi guys.
There's such a big Accord community, these are super common to see modded like the civics of their time (ie lowering springs and a sad excuse for a muffler that sounds like an army of bees in a tin can) That said, I love my Accord. I've had people tell me it looks like a mom car but it was my mom's car before it became mine so I guess it makes sense. When I was really young mom had a 5th gen like this one but then she got a 7th gen that became mine (and she's driving a 9th gen now)
Im not hating. But I cant remember the last time I saw one on the road. And if I did it was sadly beaten and rusted into submission.
I have a Honda civic hybrid with a manual and I’m honestly surprised how fun it is while still hitting 35-50 mpg anywhere I go.
I used to want this chassis as my first car back in high school (early-mid 00s). You can swap in a F20B or H22A easily. A spirited reliable daily driver
Just bought 97 accord sedan with around 200k miles what should I replace in the engine first to make it just that much more reliable for daily use
As someone that grew up in a country that Accords are not really a thing but Civics are, they aways catch my eye with that feeling of "the neighbours grass is aways greener" and I wonder why they didnt catch on as a tuner car as the Civic did, specially this gen, they can look amazing with certain mods
When I met my wife she had a lowered 96 accord wagon named Patti… the rest is history 👌🏼❤️👌🏼
Next video from that dude in blue: “does the MK4 Supra deserve the hate?”
I live for 90’s Hondas! I have the next gen Honda accord coupe “fancy version” AKA the Acura CL 3.0 coupe and loved every minute of owning it. Will miss it for sure.
One of the most underrated Honda on earth but I love it the single cam is so good in my opinion I just love everything about this car ❤
I drive a 9th gen earth dreams k series with a cvt. While I wish I had the manual it still offers a lot of fun in an extremely reliable and pretty luxurious ride. Love the look of Accords to except for the 8th gen.
OMG OMG its so amazing to see my car on the channel :D
My accord still runs and at 260k+ miles. Wish you were able to review my Accord when I met you in Atlanta. I moved back to CA 😢.
94 accord was my 1st car ever. So much nostalgia just seeing the interior 🤩
I had that h23blue top in my prelude I will say you HAVE to tune this engine to get some good power out of it. Stock it's a little slow.
I'm currently driving a 94' Accord LX trim with 148,000KM on it. Sadly it's autotragic, but with the traffic now adays, that's not the worst thing ever for me. It's nearly 30 years old at this point so I've found some problems, leaking power steering, a bit of rust here and there. But other than that and regular maintenance items, it's been a great car. Everyone is shocked by the interior. Expecting it to just be a shitbox, when it's really more like a couch. Comphy, wide, and low. What a fun vibe. Honestly, love the thing.
I driven this year accord and fell in love with them. I have looked at the 6th gen 4dr with the 2.3 sohc vtec, they are slept on and easy to swap to 5 lug.
I had a 94 2 door H23. I couldn't wait to get rid of it back then. Now I miss it bad.
I've owned a 3rd Gen, 6th Gen, and my current 9th Gen. The 6th Gen with the F23 was a really nice looking car, took mods well, and was decent fun. My 2013 LX-S with the 6spd and K24 (K-Tune) is on another level. It is faster than it has any business being, and looks fantastic. I have quibbles about some fit and finish, but overall a great car. I've generally felt that the coupes looked better from 2001 until they were cancelled in 2017 than their sedan counterparts. Drive better too.
You've officially reviewed all of the cars i've had- 94 Accord (CD5), 2003 Maxima and a 2016 Q50 3.0t.
I miss my 94 Accord. Definitely wanted to H22 swap it...but broke college kid in 2009 😅
Nobody hates the accord...
Not A Honda Guy, But Now I Have A 97 Accord Ex 2.2 F22b1 W/125k Miles
&& It’s Turning Into A Project Somewhat
I had a lowered accord coupe that was almost identical to this car, I miss it.
My friend had a v6 2 door 1997 accord in 2000 it was super nice and fast back in the day. 😊
the only one people want to hate on right now is the 2023. and it's mostly styling, which is totally subjective, but they do stand out to me and look really modern. just really different from the previous. and there's people upset about no optional larger engine, it is the first year. I'd also say don't be a coward and install the ktuner
