Favorite Accord Generation

[darkaccord]

Whats all your guys' favorite generation of Accord?

I'll put 5th in for me.

I would say the same - 5th gen. Any thing 1998 & newer just has way too many problems for being Honda's(V6 transmissions mainly). 6th gen Accord was the most common car that came in for service issues(major problems) while working for Honda. That doesn't count all the kids who messed up Civic's by racing or trying to work on it themselves.

Give the 7th gen's another year & my opinion my change, I like the 6-speed V6(its about time) Maybe next it will have a German influenced rear wheel drive, like cars should have. I would never buy the 1st model year of a re-design - ALWAYS ALWAYS problems. Like the '02 CRV, check engine coming on in the first few hundred miles & Honda didn't have a fix for it until 3 months after the issue was discovered.

Cool look and exelent road feel of 3rd gen. Thats all Run forever with minor problems.
6th gen I have is too american, feel like caddy 5 speed for lazy girl hunter. Some what am still can't understand about designers idea...
Think 7 gen more worst but didn' tested yet, just seat inside and read reviews.
Next car will be not a Honda likely... Sorry bout that.

I took a '04 V6 6sp out for a test drive the other day and was very impressed. The diference between the 6sp and the auto is night and day, Honda automatics are huge powerhogs. The biggest problems I've seen with the 7th gen Accords so far (besides new model squeaks and rattles) is some issues with the front brakes pulling and a couple of bad steering racks. I've already seen a couple of '03s above 40,000 miles with no major problems.

5th gen accords...

there a lot more unique looking then the other gen accords. i like how the rear of the car is "chunky" and round opposed to the other boxey accords IMO.

[HondaSpeed]

I am 5th all the way... my 95 still looks like new and it's not hard to keep it that way plus it still runs great. I was sitting in a new Accord v6 the other day and would like to get to drive one, but until that day it's the 5th generation Honda all the way!

[darkaccord]

I think the 6th gen has a nicer looking front end than the 5th, but the back of the 6th is BUTT UGLY, IMO.

I wish they could combine the front of the 6th gen (with the wider body) and the tail lights of the 5th gen.

5th gen gets my vote. I had a 94 LX 5spd til some idiot lady smached the front of it a few winters ago. Now I drive a 6th gen, but the 5th was much better. I agree the tail lights on my car are a lil too for my tastes. The pink lens just ruins it all. I am replacing them with red/clears soon. I love the 1-piece headlights though.

4th gen - timeless lines, very far ahead of its time when it came out in many ways, lighter weight, a much meaner look than the later gens to me....the 5th gets my next vote, then the 3rd, then the v6 coupe. The 4th gen also readily accept the h22a easier than the 5th gen ....not a big difference, but enough for me to put it here needlessly, I'm a much bigger fan of the coupes of all these models though ;o).

5th gen.MY first was a 95 with 80,000. It was super clean.Had it a week and a half be for some OLD BASTERD rearended me at a red light going 50 mph.Had not even washed it yet.

[djchiena]

I'll gladly take my 5th gen as the front runner on this poll! I like the way the car looks and it looks even better with external mods!

I love 5th gens

[i.c.]

3rd gen...never let me down...

[mycivic]

i like the way the 7th gen looks like...just the way it looks like though.

[SteveDX89]

I voted 3rd gen. I wonder why. I love the look. It may be older and boxier but I love the crisp lines. I think it's a look that's stood the test of time. And the flip up headlights are awesome We just need more aftermarket support. It can be a pain in the dick finding parts.
