- This is how the fifth-generation Honda Accord took on the midsize competition. Let's talk about the 1994-1997 Honda Accord, shall we?
The new-for-1994 Honda Accord hit the road as a stylish, safer, better performing and more fuel efficient iteration of an already well-crafted vehicle. The Accord offered 4-cylinder engines and later added a 24-valve, 2.7-liter unit, which was derived from the original Acura Legend.
In this episode, we're going to take a closer look at the fifth-generation Honda Accord and learn exactly how it was a well-packaged, finely executed coupe, sedan and wagon. So, grab a Coke zero, kick back and let's get down to the nitty gritty!
Man love my fifth gen accord, it’s what got me interested in the mechanic world. Brought me to get a second gen prelude too
Yeah those gen 2 Preludes are nice too.
My family owned 3! A 1995 LX sedan, a 1997 LX sedan and a 1997 Special Edition coupe . We had the coupe the longest, from 2003-2021. It was my childhood car, and also my first car (if that tells you how long we owned it) it had 332,000 miles on it when I retired it
To this day, and I’ve owned way too many cars, the cd5 was my favorite car. Had a 94 lx 5spd sedan in the super dark midnight blue. Forgot the actual paint name. So dark it looked black. Ugh I miss that car
We had a 97 lx 2.2 auto and that was probably the best car we owned! Still regret that i sold it it only had around 110k miles
Same here. I wish I kept mine. Solid and well crafted cars, they are.
Same here. I had a 95 EX 5 speed in Sherwood Green Pearl that I sold at 10 years and just over 100k. I wish I still had it!
The CB/CD Accords and BB Preludes are probably the best cars ever assembled. Honda right at their peak. I still own and rive a 94 prelude si. Runs like a top. 30yrs old this year. 260k miles. Looks and drives like it has half that mileage.
Anyone here has any experience with the v6 model of this gen? People sell them high and i heard the transmissions can go out .
I have a 1997 V6 with 275000 and it still kicking.
In 2006 I had a 1995 Honda Accord EX, with 114k on it paid $800 for it. timing belt and water pump replaced right before I brought it. only issue was it was missing a headlight and the bumper was black. I had it for a few months, no issues. Rainy day slid into a grand Cherokee air bags deployed car was drivable but "totaled" Put the car in craigslist two guys showed at the same time sold the car for $1000 with deployed airbags pushed back hood and windshield. Today 2022 car is still on the road guy who brought it lives close to my mom car has over 300k and still rolling... moral of the story.... I WISH I WOULD HAVE KEPT THE CAR!!!!!!
Great story. And yes they are solid and well put together. Wish I kept mine too.
Lol i would never think of a Contour as any competition to the Accord in any form
289k miles on my accord 2.2 vtec with a 5 speed manual 😅
Hood needs a respray but everything else is in good condition for the age and it runs great in about to change the leaking head gasket soon but that’s about it
Loved this generation. It's looks way better than the 2023 model.
The next generation that just came out literally resembles the previous generation Taurus. But yeah these 90s ones were the best.
Just got a 97 accord this past november. It needs a new clear coat put on it but it runs amazing... my mom hates it tho 😁
If we're being perfectly honest, the C27 in this generation wasn't that great. It made the Accord much heavier which affects handling and fuel economy, barely offered any additional acceleration or top speed, was harder and more expensive to work on, and it just wasn't as economical as the 4 cylinder. Plus, the 4 speed auto it was paired to was one of the most bizarre units ever put out by Honda. I firmly believe the best version of this generation Accord employed the F22B1 VTEC-E motor. That motor is incredibly efficient and power for the era, and a slightly modified, modernized version would still be competitive today in a 3000 lb car with another gear or two in the transmission. Not to mention how darn reliably they are ... seriously; keep oil and coolant in them, the timing belt changed out and the valves adjusted every so often, and the electronics in working order, and they will go forever.
Totally agree man. I owned several Accords and yeah, I must say that engine wasn’t all that much of an improvement over the inline 4. Especially the aspect of being more difficult to work on and more expensive. I could’ve rambled on about that tidbit in the vid but it was more of an informational vid and not a criticizing one haha.
Awesome video these are awesome cars! Just hit 250k on mine still running like a top
250k? Nice! Thanks for watching.
I drove my 1996 EX auto for 300k miles and now I have a 95 EX manual at 290k
Glad to hear your 1996 EX made it all the way to 300k! That’s crazy reliability right there!
I had a 95 accord EX sedan ran like a champ, ended up selling it and instantly regretted it, but now I have a 94 accord EX coupe, getting a motor with 150k miles installed this week, engine almost looks brand new I’m excited
Cool. Let us know how the new engine is!
Said before, say again: you have a knockout super voice and manner of speaking! Just on the edge of funky, yet still clear and dignified. A treat to listen as well as watch.
Haha I’m flattered. Thanks again and also for your continued support.
Shot in the dark, you sound like you may be black?
Yep, owned a black 4-cylinder, 5-speed EX sedan. I bought it from its first owner in 2009 with 120,00K miles on the odometer and it was dead reliable the 2 years and +30K miles I put on it before the car was totaled in an accident. I adored that car. Best Accord and best car I’ve ever owned.
Yeah Accords are awesome. I had one with close to 300k miles and it was still solid and reliable. All I had to do was change the clutch.
Thanks for sharing that.
Next step a cd5
I would like to see videos about 1990s upscale suvs such as 1991-2004 Oldsmobile bravada, though I've always hated the idea of Oldsmobile having an suv or 1997-2010 mercury mountaineer
😉
96 lx sedan with 200k still going
Glad to hear it’s still going at 200k!
12:24 I drive a 99 ex every day, 2.3l VTEC , 5 SPD. It's my only running vehicle. 197k. AC still works. It's a great car. I just put a new timing kit in it at 195k , brand new brakes all around last week and studded snows up front last month.
The previous owner said a Honda clutch kit was put in at 140k.
I love it, keyless remotes still work , sunroof n all windows.
I have the 6th generation civic its the 25th anniversary model its the 1997 EK1 sedan its stock standard no mods in immaculate condition all original ❤❤❤ worth a few dollars not parting wth it!!!!
Awesomeness!
Don’t forget the JDM exclusive SiR coupe/sedan & wagon which featured the DOHC VTEC H22A from the Prelude!
Yep!
I have a new-to-me 1991 Accord, 1-family 4dr sedan. Bought a month ago. I love it! Had two '91 Civic coupes long past. Truly fine auto company.
Nice! Definitely one of my favorite cars. I’d love to get my hands on a 90-93 or perhaps a fifth-gen V6. Excellent reliability.
Great job
Thanks!
I love how much good info on platforms you provide - thank you
No problem. We truly appreciate you watching the show.
Yet another great vid.Keep it up!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.
