Today people die of obesity, virus, disease, drugs... Alot more than car accident. Government should stop mandate so many safety on cars. They should keep cars simple like during '90 years.
You can thank everyone that keeps voting for "just" more big DADDY gov't. That's led to more "safety" and with "safety" = heavier more expensive and more complex vehicles. So now we have everyone texting while driving in their "safer" land-whale SUV's, all while wages have remained flat after adjusting for inflation = less disposable income after paying for the "privilege" of driving. On a positive note, there's a lot more remote work out there these days, so atleast there's more options to not be forced to commute, but, insurance costs and everything else has increased to takeup any savings that one would have had. Inflation is what gov't wants to have so they do not have to be fiscally responsible, thus all of the federal reserve QE and debt monetization games. All of it's designed to lower living standards for those whom are in developed nations, and for the top corporations that now physically control gov't = you lose.
As long as a Honda is a manual and well-maintained, 400,000 is within reach without much of a sweat. Well done! The most I've ever done with ANY vehicle is 350K miles (a Chevrolet cargo van) and the most with a passenger car is 300,000 (my current car, Hyundai Genesis, still going strong). I did have a 2002 Accord with nearly 200K miles but I got rid of it because of transmission issues (it was an automatic), but the last time I checked, it's doing fine with a new owner.
@@Kgio-2112 I agree "some" cars were crap back then, and technology has improved significantly over the years. But you gotta give it to these older Hondas. They were much simpler in design back then. Not a lot of creature comforts. Some people don't want all those gadgets and gizmos. Provides too much of a distraction. I just want to turn the key, and go.
@@porschefanatic1049 oh for sure, and Toyota as always. I'm not just not certain how Honda's CVT transmissions are. How long they last and such. I'd still prefer an automatic or manual over CVT. Just my preference.
@@theKevronHarris I personally don't see much of them riced out but I know these we're hot back in the late '90s. Wasn't as popular compared to the Civic or Integra tho in the aftermarket.
Have a 2002 Honda Accord Sedan V6 w/300k miles. Great reliable car. Recently a new civic parked next to it and I was surprised to see it was easily as large as my car.
I remember back in 94 when this car arrived. It was a big deal and a big hit. The 90 - 93 Accord was already very popular for the time and this new body style took it to a whole new level.
The coupe is sporty. Perfect for the single life. I love the raw engine bay. No cover. Great quality vehicle especially when compared to some newer Hondas.
I worked at a Honda dealership in AZ when these came out. Beautiful car! I also really liked the previous 90-93 Accord just as much, if not slightly more. No Accord since seems as appealing as the 90-97 generations.
I bet you do. Finding one now is like finding a Leprechaun riding a Dodo bird. We had a ‘95 wagon with a 5spd in our shop years ago and I wanted to buy it.
I still long for these vehicles. This or a 92-93 CB7 with a 5 speed would get me through the next 15 years. I just miss everything about them. I wish America would fall in love with cars like this again. I sure would if I could find one. Listen to that valve train. Sounds like a fine Swiss watch, only more precise.
Yeah I recalled this one has been "reverse-imported" to Japan. Turns out this JDM coupe variant did come in two engine flavors including the H22A on the SiR model, albeit in RHD only. The lower grade 2.2Vi as expected came with the F22B but was available in both LHD and RHD config.
A relative of mine used to have a 1994 Accord LX sedan 5speed manual in the exact same color just like the one in the video. It had an aftermarket alarm system and a CD changer that is located under the front passenger seat.
We purchased our 2017 Accord Hybrid in 2018 with about 5k miles for the price of a 93 EX. Now have 85k miles in 4 years. We had a 98 Civic for 20 years that had 275k miles on it. We’ve been happy with Honda
Design of this car still looks good. I watch an old commercial of the 94 Accord Coupe like the music had in that commercial. I miss these 90s cars so much as the old days really looked good being 28 years old the styling is nice for a Honda.
Peak Accord... Peak Honda... I didn't appreciate these cars when they were new but looking back, they were phenomenal. That was the golden age of Japanese cars.
Clear the weep holes and wash the undercarriage and these avoided the common rust issues. Mechanically pretty indestructible cars! Tons of greenhouse and great little drivers!!
‘94 Accord's 4WD double wishbone suspension system was redesigned; helped dramatically.. The designers developed the acronym B.E.S.T; Balanced, Economy / Environment, Safety / Sporty and Technological ... seems right!
The golden age of Honda, when they could do no wrong. What I wouldn't give to have my 1995 Prelude Si again. Overpriced at the time, now I understand why. Honda is still pricing their cars above their competition, unfortunately, but they don't do anything to stand out anymore.
I really should've bought one of these 5-speed VTEC coupes back in the late 1990s when shopping for my first car....but I was too loyal to GM at the time....dumb dumb dumb, haha
Still daily driving my 97 EX sedan, it's going to hit 300k miles in the next month, all original! Original shocks and AC as well. I absolutely love this car.
I have a 95 coupe and daily drove a 94 sedan for awhile. A modern Civic dwarfs this model, but they're pretty amazing Ohio-built cars. The '94 sedan is one of my favorite, cars to date.
i bought one of these for $800 in 2016 with 220k miles. i sold it for $1000 in 2022 with 280k miles it sold less than 30 minutes after i posted it for sale online
I have a 1994 Honda Accord EX with a 5-speed manual. It was built in Japan, not Marysville Ohio. I still have it as of April 2022. It just passed Emissions with 368,000 miles on it. Itis in mint condition with no rust, as I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I've had people leave notes on my windshield with their phone number, asking me if I want to sell it. That was even before the Covid Pandemic. I'm so glad I got it with a Manual transmission, as they are very hard to find to find. It's a beauty, in White! Garage kept, always!
8th/9th gen coupe is my favourite design wise. Then this generation wagon, the last wagon made by Honda of North America (not counting the short lived Acura TSX wagon, that's very rare).
1986-1997 was the heyday of the Honda Accord. All 3 generations were very attractive for their time and excellent cars. After 1997 the appeal fell off a cliff. I don't know what happened to the Japanese automotive industry but the late 80s/early 90s was definitely their pinnacle. This 1994 Accord was a beauty.
The problem was that the USDM Accord became its own thing starting in 1998, whereas before that it was the same as the JDM ones. Probably the same issue with Toyota and Nissan products around that time. Honda made the 1998 one larger and more conservative to make them appeal to families more. And it just got more and more bloated afterwards. Although I must admit I liked how the 2013-17 USDM Accords looked inside and out (still boring to drive though with a CVT).
The CL Type S though, is a different story, with the 3.2L V6, especially when paired with the 6-speed manual option. The 3.0L was in the middle, with the real only downside being the somewhat crappy 4-speed automatic, and 5-speed automatic with a Tiptronic shifting “manual” mode (3.2L). All of the earlier J-series Honda/Acura automatic transmissions (4AT, 5AT), all majorly sucked and even had mass recalls put out on them. Car folks would swap the 6MT from the Acura’s 3.2L onto a lot of the other V6 Honda/Acura automatic setups.
I remember admiring the Accord EXR model back in the day. Back when tuning cars was vogue, I remember dreaming of a Neuspeed Accord with Hart racing wheels. Glad I was around during the glory days of Honda!
I remember when I was 9 and sitting in these in the showroom when these were brand new & going back and forth to the dealer. My aunt bought a new 95' Civic EX 4dr from Pohanka Honda in Marlow Heights, MD. She loved it but wish she had gotten the Accord instead. I can still remember the new car smell sitting in a coupe and sedan in the showroom along with a Prelude and Passport.
I have a 1996 Accord EX Sedan. The thing is unkillable! We've clocked over 300,000 miles and apart from some oil leakage, slight rust around the rear fenders, and a speedometer that packed in around 295,000 miles, it runs great! The a/c still blows colder than some of our newer vehicles. It's the most dependable and cheapest to operate car I've ever owned.
I've had a few of this generation and two currently along with a 90 EX. To get your odo moving again press the trip mile reset button and the maintenance require button, that helped my first one allow the clock to start rolling again.
I remember the Hondas from years back that generation of build. The vehicle body's have a nice tight quality fit and finish to them. This car really felt good and tight.
And Acura was fantastic in those years as well with the NSX, Legend, and Integra. Peak Honda for sure. Honda was one of my favourite brands growing up but sadly no longer nowadays.
MotorTrend's review said rear suspensions were also double wishbone. Not sure if that was really the case. This gen's sedan was a looker (good friend in university has one) especially before the midcycle refresh wherein the taillights were extended and didn't look as sporty. This was in Asia though not sure what the refresh looked for North America. Edit: four wheel double wishbone all right. Found a nice article: The Ultimate Honda Accord - And No, It’s Not The 4th Generation
I had a 94 sedan in base trim. Even though it was safer than the 4th gen it seemed cheaper than the 90 sedan I had which I consider one of the best gen accords made
I currently own both generations and love both but yes, the 90-93 generation was peak material and build quality by far. 94-97 had clear cost cutting in noticeable areas like plastic headlights instead of glass, and plastic instead of metal door handles. Also the door pans were cheaped out on. Overall the 97 drives and rides better than my 90 and feels more modern but the 90 just feels more quality.
Uncommon* I agree tho as it was top of the line around 25K original msrp? Though harder spec's would be a '94 EX 5spd wagon, '94 DX coupe 5spd no ABS, 94-97 EX-L 5spd coupe, '97 SE coupe in San Marino Red. Sedans dominated the market during that time & the LX sedan was most popular. 😉
I'm lucky enough to own one of these in a ex sedan flavor but factory five speed, swapped f22b2, manual seats but power everything else and obviously being a old 90s Honda it's lowered with a fart can (it's getting a proper exhaust when I can afford it) but just the looks of the car alone make me love it and sadly I haven't gotten to drive mine yet cause it's a 600$ beater but it's a project car lol
The Honda Accord was the absolute best car in its class in the day. (Sorry Toyota fans, it NEVER was the Camry.) And this was IMO the last "real" Accord - the following generation (1998-2002, I had a 2002 sedan) grew too big and soulless, and it's never been the same since. Also I'll take a manual Accord over any automatic or CVT Accord.
The most stolen car from the 90s were the Accord coupes. My friend had a black 95 ex 5 speed coupe that was stolen Twice! He got it back the first time.

All good things must come to an end. Sad when they discontinued the coupe & 6spd standard transmission 😕
Been a fan of the Accord lineup for so long. Keep up the great work Honda 🔥
Arguably the best looking Honda Accord ever made
I had one of these for 8 years and loved it!!!
I have the Acura version of this… a ‘97 2.2CL with the five-speed. Certainly not a sporty drive, but it’s comfortable and bulletproof.
The CL Type S though, is a different story, with the 3.2L V6, especially when paired with the 6-speed manual option. The 3.0L was in the middle, with the real only downside being the somewhat crappy 4-speed automatic, and 5-speed automatic with a Tiptronic shifting “manual” mode (3.2L).
All of the earlier J-series Honda/Acura automatic transmissions (4AT, 5AT), all majorly sucked and even had mass recalls put out on them. Car folks would swap the 6MT from the Acura’s 3.2L onto a lot of the other V6 Honda/Acura automatic setups.
My personal favorite Accord of all time!
Reminds me of my 1997 accord coupe special edition. Very reliable cars!
I remember admiring the Accord EXR model back in the day. Back when tuning cars was vogue, I remember dreaming of a Neuspeed Accord with Hart racing wheels. Glad I was around during the glory days of Honda!
17 x 7.5 Racing Hart Type C Tracers. I can only dream 😂
As a 18 year old high school senior,I approve this car!
I had the same car. Mine was a 1995 LX. I picked up EX wheels and had them chromed. I miss her.
I loved my 94 Accord EX coupe I had. Now I drive an Accord V6 6 speed coupe
I’d love a 2 door EX, 5 speed with either grey or black cloth seats…no REAL man has ever said “that car is old”
My favorite Accord ever.
This was my first and second car! First the LX then EX 5MT. To this day it is one of the best shifting cars I ever drove.
Still miss my 94 Accord Ex vtech, due to family, traded in 03 for a Pacifica van. No issues with the Accord, many with Pacifica.
Coupes are pretty much gone nowadays. Such a simple, reliable and fun car. Why can’t we bring this shit back

This car is timeless. It’s like my Aunt Marmalades Saturn Sol Sonterra Mark V wagon with limited slip differential.

I'm lucky enough to own one of these in a ex sedan flavor but factory five speed, swapped f22b2, manual seats but power everything else and obviously being a old 90s Honda it's lowered with a fart can (it's getting a proper exhaust when I can afford it) but just the looks of the car alone make me love it and sadly I haven't gotten to drive mine yet cause it's a 600$ beater but it's a project car lol
Best accord they ever made. It all went south in 98 with that god awful automatic transmission.
Absolutely. By '03 they became fatter & fatter 🤦🏻♂️
I still have one of these, a 96 that’s stanced out
I miss two-door cars. I drive by myself 9 times of 10 and don't need a big SUV or sedan to get around.
Best selling car in America at one point but I'd say 90% of those came as sedans. The coupe & wagon were not as popular...
The Honda Accord was the absolute best car in its class in the day. (Sorry Toyota fans, it NEVER was the Camry.) And this was IMO the last "real" Accord - the following generation (1998-2002, I had a 2002 sedan) grew too big and soulless, and it's never been the same since. Also I'll take a manual Accord over any automatic or CVT Accord.
94-97 Accord coupe vs 94-96 Camry coupe 👀
Had a new 97 SE. Wish I'd never gotten rid of it. I'd probably still be driving it today if I hadn't,
still see these easily.
I had a 1995 Honda Accord EX but a 4dr. My EX had a 1997 that looked exactly like the one in the video, but it was brighter red.
Hers must have been a special edition coupe model, San Marino red.
@@jay.fromthebay Might of been. It was a bright red. It had a salvaged title I remember that, her dad had gotten it at an auction.
Had a 96 EX coupe (manual and with leather!) and have such fondness for it. Wish I'd never sold it.
Was it grey leather? Those were a very rare combo 🙈
@@cd7ex nope, tan. Didn't know about the rarity of gray. Interesting.
@@cd7ex I have a green 94' with grey leather, F22B5 150hp and a manual transmission
These days, many people will confuse this generation for a Civic.
JDM Integra bro? 4G Prelude? 😂
I just bought mine for 1300$ 119,000 miles! Nothing wrong with it just a little rust here and there but it’s life has only started!!
Replace the timing belt and you're good forever.
Please do more Toyota + Honda direct comparisons
My fav accord ever.
One of the best Hondas ever made, however the pricing is rather expensive compared to the Domestic V6s
Crazy how the older cars look way better than the new ones.
The only honda I would love to own ;-;
Eu também amigão tô divertindo muito 👍👍
great car. hope to find one in good condition some day!
Don't you guys have one for the 1998 Honda Accord?
Probably more boot space than my 2018 G80 Sport
My first car.
Good God, that wheel well gap. Barf
I sold my 95 sedan and regretted it, now I have a 94 coupe ex
The most stolen car from the 90s were the Accord coupes. My friend had a black 95 ex 5 speed coupe that was stolen Twice! He got it back the first time.
Sad but true 😕
Please do a vid on the RSX type s
WHAT'S IT GOT, STUNTMAN!!!!
0:35 I don't know if it Is just me but it looks like a giant 2 door Nissan Sentra from that angle.
