Favorite Accord Generation

[jajimo]

I own a 5th Gen but I really like the design of the 7th gen coupe. However, I am completely, 100% against the 7th gen USDM sedan. God, who the hell was smoking what when they designed those tail lights?

I am more partial to the 2000-2003 JDM Accord Inspire, however =P Also known as the 2000-2003 Acura 3.2 TL.

I agree on the tail lights, thats the only turn off on the cars - the 2 door is a serious head turner however. I may still get one- cause my 4th Gen is now 10 years old - and I just cant wait another 4 years.

I suspect they hired away some Toyota engineers, who are famous for screwing up the rear-end of otherwise good looking cars.

Gotta go with the 4th also, I would think that the 6th comes in second though.

Loving my 4th gen, wouldnt have any other.....

4th Gen All the way! My 90 Accord has never let me down. I like the look the ride the eveything. I really feel sorry for all these suckers in their shitty Grand Prixes and Grand Ams!

Having owned a 4th and now recently buying a 6th, I like my '99 better than my '93. I had the EX model both times, but the '99 is just more comfy. Plus, it's a V6 . The 93 was a pretty reliable little car. I've owned the '99 for a week, and it's already having slight problems - if you want to help, feel free, I posted about the screwy gas gauge

Did they forget a generation here? What about the 200- models that have the sharp slanted triangular lights?

I like 5th gens because they have a cupholder. 4th gens doesn't have a cupholder. I don't like 4th gens because it getting old than 5th gens.

1995 Accord is look much better than '96-'97 Accord.

[dougthegreat]

anyone know how much larger the body on a more recent Gen. versus the earlier ones like five and four? I'm just curious.

Parking my '99 seems a lot more difficult than my '93!

[markwb]

Shouldn't be much different, I would guess. Did you compare wheel base & turn radius between '93, '99?

[chavocrazy69]

pbateson, 4th gens do have cupholders, well, at least LX and up. I guess with older accords you should avoid DX's cuz they don't have Anything. Not even a fuckin cupholder!

I am thonkin about getting an accord, But only know about the B-series motors. I have a buddie that has an auto H22 motor that gives those ricers a good glempse of his 4th gen 2dr tail lamps... Is a 90-93 Honda accord coupe w/ H22A4 motor and tranny swap as fast as a GS-R. what does that car run in the 1/4 on adverege with a good driver? What does the car run stock? Will I be satisfied w/ this car even though I currently drive a turbo teggy?

I had to vote for the 6th generation as I now own one.

I was lucky (very lucky) to aquire this 1998 Accord EX V6 with leather interior for a mere $500 ... yes ... you are reading that right (I did not forget any zeroes). I bought it from someone who ran over something and took out the oil pan, pickup tube, 'B' pipe, all 3 heatshields against the floors and the rear O2 sensor. I put the oil pan and tube on and fill it with oil and started it ... no knocking. Runs like a clock. It is my daily driver now. I will have less then $1000 in this car when totally fixed.

Here it is ...

Mark, Real good deal on the '98 Accord. The price was definitely right. Nice car too. Not trying to be funny, but the pics (excellent photography also) really should be sized a little smaller for internet viewing.

You on dial-up?

I like to make pics big enough for people to be able to see them.

There is nothing worse then having someone put pictures in a thread and they are postage stamp size.
