- If you are in your 40s there is a pretty good chance that you got your first car in the 1990s, and odds are it was a Honda or a Toyota.
What did you drive in the 1990s?

What was your first car? Do you still have it?
87 Jeep Wrangler... long gone. Now on 6th car. However - what year honda accord are you driving in this video? Did I see it had satellite radio?
@@NJroute22 it’s an 04…yes it had Sat radio originally, but I never used it
Well I was born in 2006, just got my license last year. I drove my parents old 2004 Honda CR-V for the first year. Not the most fun car to drive, but extremely reliable. Weather it was snow, dirt trails, extremely cold temperatures, or 110 degree days, I could just start it and drive it with no problem at all.
A few weeks ago I got a 2010 VW Golf as my true first car. It is the base model, with a 2.5l 5-cylinder and a 5 speed manual. It has 140k miles on it, and it is in great condition and runs like new. I will see how reliable it is in the long run, but the 2.5 i5 is supposed to be one of VW's most reliable engines

91 Isuzu stylus, look it up, basically love child of the Isuzu/chevy marriage in the 90’s with a little Lotus tuned suspension thrown in , in America it had a cousin and it was the Geo Storm , that car was so much fun keeping up or beating sometimes the souped up civics of the day , I always respected what the Hondas where , a simple
Commuter car but with so much potential , I credit the Honda
Tuners with this second great age of muscle cars we have now it was a fun time
Im older and had a 77 Datsun F10 that I had during college early 90s. Super simple super reliable and front wheel drive.
💯💯
First car 93 Accord EX manual in 2000, still love Honda cars today, but especially from the 90s. I got my hands on a clean 1990 CRX 10 years back, will probably keep it for life.
Love the CRX 💯🤘
I was raised on Chevy & Buick (and drive a LaCrosse), but I had a good friend growing up whose mom drove a '90s charcoal, boxy Accord. And at one point I went with them to a Honda dealer (Hendrick Honda of Easley, SC circa 2002-ish) to buy a clean, used '99 or '00 Accord. Gold on beige leather. My mama drove a '96 Lumina at the time (an actually decent car that had its merits mind you!) but that newer Accord was a revelation. The smell, the dash, the solid 'thunk' of the doors closing. It felt like a luxury car. New Hondas are okay but they don't give me that same vibe anymore.
💯💯
I bought my first car two years ago. It was a 1996 Honda Civic EX Sedan 4 speed auto in Tafetta White. Canadian spec, so D16Y7 non vtec motor. I had it for 6 months and it was very reliable, but it was old and had a couple of electrical gremlins, no functioning A/C, and a decent amount of body rust. Since then I also owned a 2009 Hyundai Accent with a 5 speed trans and I am currently driving a 2015 5 speed lancer.
🤘🤘
I'm a last year Boomer. My first car was my great grandmother's '68 Chevelle. 327 powerglide two speed automatic. I sure wish I still had that. Currently, a Honda fan. '04 Accord LX and 2010 Pilot Touring 4wd. I love them.
Those 327s sound so good! 💯💯
I’m early Gen Xer. First car was a ‘76 Ford Granada. Hated the car but loved the freedom it gave me. Was 16. Went to work and saved my money. A year later I bought my first Honda and have driven nothing but Honda/Acura cars since, and I’ve had numerous. Here are just some of the Hondas I’ve owned:
‘80 Honda Prelude
‘87 Acura Integra RS
‘88 Honda Prelude Si 4WS
‘90 Honda Accord EX Sedan
‘95 Honda Accord EX Coupe
‘94 Honda Prelude VTEC
‘94 Honda Accord EX-L
‘00 Honda Accord Coupe LX V6
‘05 Acura TL
‘07 Acura TL Nav
‘10 Acura TSX Tech V6
‘12 Acura TL Advance
‘13 Acura TL Advance
‘16 Acura TLX Advance
‘20 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T
My current car is a ‘21 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T. Love my current car as much as any I’ve ever owned.
That’s quite the list! Lots of gems! I like the 2.0T in both the 10 speed in the manual…Honda should have never dropped it.
@@PhilipTamorria Could not agree more. The 2.0T engine is a true gem. I am still mad at Honda for nixing it from the Accord’s lineup. I’ll be keeping my ‘21 for a while.
I wouldn't call myself a Xennial. I'm a but too young for that - Class of 2010. But I daily a 5-speed '97 Prelude Type SH. I had a 2000 4-speed Prelude in high school and college that I sold in 2015 at 197,000 miles and regretted ever since. But I always said if I could do it again, I'd get a Type SH. It turns out one day last summer, a neighbor was selling his. 251,000 miles. It needs some love, but it is a manual, it has a Type S red top H22A swap, and you can bang that engine out to >7,000 RPM all day. It won't complain. I drove it 80 miles an hour halfway across Oklahoma and back. Engine spun 4,000 the whole time. Never gave me any issues. Nothing is built like a 90s Honda or Toyota. Those cars will outlive your kids with basic maintenance.
There's a story about the light bulb. It got to being too reliable and the manufacturers were losing money on them. So they all got together and determined to make them worse so people would have to buy them more often. I feel cars have gone the same direction. 90s cars are built SO WELL that they work better today than 70s cars did 20 years ago. They made them too good. And about after the market recovered from the 2008 economic collapse, they decided to make them overly complicated so they develop major problems sooner and we have to buy cars more often. I feel like people picked up on this, and that's why normal 90s cars in good shape can still fetch you over 50% of the original MSRP today.
But I'll keep driving 90s and 00s cars for as long as I possibly can.
Btw, if you still want a pretty decently made car for under $20k that comes with a manual as standard equipment, look at the Nissan Versa S. I'm really considering one for my next car.
Love the Prelude! I had a buddy that had one in the late 90s early 2000s. Lots of fun, and great looking designs.
Close. 04 Acura TL 6MT. What a machine. All the Honda reliability and parts affordability, with a quiet, smooth and sophisticated ride + gorgeous interior with nappa leather seats. 3rd gen TL was peak Acura (mainstream, if you ignore the NSX).
Great cars
@@PhilipTamorria Absolutely. But they definitely need European car level maintenance, which many owners don't do. Fortunately DIY is pretty easy, and they are extremely reliable if you are on top of maintenance. I still have it at over 300k miles, drives brand new (it better, it has brand new suspension and mounts).
I still have most of mine, 2 X 01 Integra's, 96 civic and a 00 Civic..
💯💯
My former girlfriend owned a 1996 Honda Civic DL coupe. I owned a 2006 4Runner V8 Sport Edition. I drove her Civic more than I drove my 4Runner. It was small, fast and easy to park.
💯💯
2003 Civic was my first car, drowned it in high water unfortunately. Currently driving a 2019 Civic Sport, and love the thing.
🤘🙏
I'm in Europe, it's different here, but my first and current car is a 2001 accord. It's a very well thought out car
💯💯
All through the 90s I was driving a Nissan Pulsar NX. Many of the things that made Honda so great at that time would apply to the NX as well although I will not say it had Honda reliability. The engine was simple and solid but the transmission was a bit of a headache. Super fun car to drive though. Of all the cars I've owned the NX was my favorite. I've had two 280Zs and I'd still rather have the Pulsar NX again.
💯💯
My first car in 2013 was a 1996 Honda Accord LX with 386k miles was my mom’s first car she brought in 1999
Wow that’s solid! 💯🦾
I'm a gen z but I absolutely love 6th gen civics. It's a pity that they're really old now and it's pointless to buy one.. I like the 10th and 11th generation too though, they are not bad but there's just something about the old ones that I love.. not only civics - all old cars just felt right and looked great yet so simple
💯💯
I am late boomer and a late bloomer. I finally bought my first used Honda Accords in the early 2000's. I loved them so much I bought a new Accord Sport in 2014 that I still enjoy. Rides nice, handles well, fast enough, dependable and I got 42 mpg on a road trip recently. I can't convince myself to sell it.
💯💯
I agree but with my 05 civic. I would've gone with the 2000 civic, but it was the transponder immobilizer key security function for me, I know, I could've gone with kill switch. This was my first car & I just want a plug & play option + 90s civic were still a hot ticket item to steal. Getting the 05 aside from their issues was nice & obviously had to go with EX special edition coupe with alloy rims + aux cable stereo. 7th gen civic don't get enough love & they can def be tricked out respectfully
I’m had a Loctronics Chip on my 97 which was something like aftermarket immobilizer, no problem with theft, even when I live in SE Washington DC and parked on the street…also being a 5 Speed manual helped too since a lot of thieves can’t drive manual.
First car was a 1974 VW Bug first new car was a 1990 Nissan Sentra and ventured to Toyota for a little bit Acura Vigor brought me to Honda went through quite a few Hondas now I'm back on Toyotas currently have a sequoia and a 4Runner
Sequoias are totally underrated 💯
Born in 02. Fell in love with the 8th gen accord coupe v6 in middle school and got a civic as my first car, was great but I still longed for the accord. Lady on her phone crashed into my civic a year after I graduated high school and I used the money I won after suing her insurance to buy my 8th gen Accord Coupe v6 6mt and I’ve been loving it for a year and some change now.
💯💯
First car was an accord 94. 4 door...sky blue then I had a 2001 Accord coupe. With the NSX rear tail lights. Neither car gave me much problem
💯💯
I'm a late gen-Xer. My first car was an '88 Ford Escort EXP that I bought for $300 when I was a senior in high school. My first nice car I bought was a '96 Acura Integra SE. It was a couple years old when I got in late 1998 but it was still like new. I drove that car many years trouble free until somebody crashed into it and totaled it. I went trough a couple of cars after that but none of them were as reliable as the Acura. I currently drive a 2013 TL that now has 200,000 miles on it with only ever having to do timing belts and other basic maintenance.
Those Integras were bullet proof 💯💯
2002 accord ex v6 ❤… well it was my second car, but still. Had the car 10+ years and it never gave me any issues.
My brother had the same one but it was an 01 V6. Great car. 💯💯
My 1st car was a 2008 Civic LX. Still would be driving it today had it not gotten crushed by a drunk driver 😢
I now drive a 2015 Accord EX-L.
Sorry to hear! Hopefully you didn’t get hurt. 🙏🙏
@@PhilipTamorria no my car was parked thankfully.
I think the 90 to 00 ERA Accord's weak point is the automatic transmission. I replaced my 02 Accord's 4AT with a low mileage used one in 2018 and that one went as well recently. I decided not to replace the AT again and moved on.
@@anonymoususer5541 🦾🦾
My first car was a 1980 Chevrolet Monza hatchback with the Iron Duke four-cylinder and a 4-speed manual transmission. This was in 1990, so the car was VERY used. It was the quintessential POS, and I only drove it for 9 months. So much wrong with that car...
Although I became somewhat interested in Honda by 1993, I never owned one, but I test drove a couple, including a brand new 1993 Si. I just never had the money to buy one, and I was pretty loyal to GM, and Chevrolet in particular.
🤘🤘
My first car is a 2010 Genesis coupe 2.0T. Had the car since 2020. Car had 114k on it when I bought it and now has 203k. The transmission had to get replaced but other that, it has been very reliable.
💯🤘
My first car was a 1993 Volvo 965 (bought in 2014) which was about as reliable as you can imagine and it was CONSTANTLY in the shop with expensive repairs that was brutal for a college student. I sold it at a loss and later bought my second car, a 2008 Fit, my first manual car and it was SO GOOD. I was working construction and I could fit an eight foot ladder in it and it absolutely RIPPED, and it was so much fun to have a car I could absolutely wring out and get great fuel economy. Unfortunately it got smashed after my neighbors truck was stolen (turns out I’m the only one of the street who locks my doors?) and I got an NC Miata, which I really enjoy, but as I get older, I really miss the practicality of the Fit and I’m considering getting another one in the future, it’s just a shame they stopped making them and the HR-V doesn’t even have the magic seats anymore :(
The Fit was a great car! Very underrated! Sorry to hear it got smashed! Miata’s are lots of fun, hopefully you can find another Fit someday!
My car I inherited my parents, 2000 Honda Accord EX-L V6. My dad bought brand new and put almost 400K on it. I currently have a 2021 Accord Touring 2.0!
My brother had one of those! Great car! Love the 2.0T! Wish they’d bring it back in a manual.
my first car was a 1987 Olds Cutlass then after that it was a 1998 Dodge Neon...i can honestly say i never owned a Honda
🤘🤘
Im a millennial, late 00s was the same. Miss my 2008 Honda civic Si
Love the K series!! 💯💯
First car 1990 honda civic hatch Purchased in 1997 I still own the car it is in My profile pic. I'm 43 years old LO.L
@@glenjonesiii576 nice!
I'm solidly in the GenX cohort. First Honda was a used 83 Civic with 100k miles on it. Amazing car. I drove it till 205k. Replaced with a used 91 Civic that I really didn't love. I do like the newest Civic, esp. since it's available as a hatchback, and now a hybrid- but I kind of lost interest in Hondas in the middle/late 90's. They just didn't have a certain "magic" that early Hondas did, and the competition caught up somewhat. I had 4 different Mazdas, 2 new, 2 used, from about 2002 to 2017, and they were great. I should still be driving one, but alas life had different plans. Next car might be a Kia, Honda, or Mazda depending on what's available in '25/'26. I know they run till the end of time but I loathe Toyotas.
The new Kia’s have really grown on me, I may look into getting a used Stinger for my next car.
What do you think of the 9th gen Accord?
9th Gen is ok, I’m more of a 10th gen fan myself
@@PhilipTamorria that's interesting. I am not a fan of the 10th gen at all!
@@willieswift9580 🤘🤘
Had an accord Lx 2010. I liked it till it got totaled. It had a gas pedal issue. Turned out to be a wheel bearing. Found out after that happened doing some research.
My 8th Camry is a little smaller but i can see a lot better. And all windows are power roll up and down which is a lot better, keeps me from having to always make sure its always closed. I can't remember how many times i left the window down. And it has 200 hp. The honda had 177 hp.
🤘🙏
1993 Hyundai Scoupe
I had to look that one up! Forget all about it. 💯
Best Hondas were in the 70's. The first Civic and Accord were the best cars in their class. You could get a Civic with a 1.5 L that had so much torque you could pull coal out of a mine shaft. Then Mazda released the FWD 323/GLC in '80 and stole Hondas supremacy.
@@club1fan552 59 pound feet 🦾
@@PhilipTamorria And pulling a whopping 659 kgs. The only rival that kept it honest was the Mazda 1300 but compared to a VW Beetle 1300 or Corolla of the era the Civic left them blocks behind.
