JabbaDuhHut they also were bullet proof. So reliable.

Yeah. They need to bring back the prelude and not sell it as a crossover SUV.

I still see plenty of these driving around in my city, nearly 30 years later

Kevron Harris, ain’t that the truth! Exactly what happened to the Eclipse!

@@theKevronHarris Oh my God fuck that. If they brought back the Prelude as an SUV, I'd never buy a Honda again. Judging by the fact that they killed off the Accord coupe this year, I somehow doubt that they'll bring back the Prelude or anything sporty ever again.

I have one!

And? I have 8 cars 10 years older that are driven regularly

@@Welcometofacsistube What are the make and models?

Yep, and you don't see corsica's on the road anymore. I even see a 1988 Accord regularly commuting near my house in mint condition.

I've had 3 of these. One heavily modified. Love these cars. Had a 91 Accord SE. 4 door. SE model got you leather interior and a slightly more powerful motor. 140 hp instead of the standard 130 hp. 2nd one was a 91 EX, 4 door. Nothing remarkable about that one compared with the SE. Last one was a 91 EX coupe. Had a JDM h22a4. LSD. Intake, header, exhaust. Gutted interior. Racing seats. Stage 4 clutch. Custom tune. K sport coilovers.. Still kicking myself for selling that one.

Fuck you, Spanos!

Same as 90's civic

Fun car to drive!

I'm amazed you've managed to get it back all three times

cringe

Wow, three times?!?!

Really? I seem to remember Hondas had a pretty well-earned reputation for impressive reliability back then, from the lowliest of Civics all the way up to the wonderful Acura Legends of the day. This car was pretty special, even today I think it looks quite good. It aged well, unlike so many other cars from the era. It all started to go a little wonky after this generation of Accord because Honda started to deviate from the plot.

Honda was never Toyota. Remember.. the previous Accord had pop up headlights! Bold and unusual styling has always been a Honda calling card.

I can attest that Honda’s reliability record has fallen substantially since 1990.

@@TVHouseHistorian the 7th gen accords are fairly good, especially the j series cars.

@@RoadCone411 The 94-97 Accords weren't bad either.

ILovedThe90s1 They were great cars and made to last, just like the Toyotas of the time. Also, nice profile pic. 👍

I can say the same for my 01 accord. However it does have a sticking valve :(

Those F22's are insanely reliable, You can abuse it and it starts right up the next day wanting more.

i agree the is possibly the most reliable engine ever, sold mine with 276k and it was running fine other than the normal valve cover leak

I've got a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am that's never had any major problems. I (and probably your Mom) do this thing called "regular maintenance". Had a 93 Mustang that was just as "reliable". Working in the car industry you quickly learn it's the OWNER who is the major factor, not the manufacturer. Unfortunately there are very little 90s Hondas and Toyotas left nearby because they've all disintegrated leaving wonderful drive-trains sitting in piles of rust... too bad, would love a 90s Accord Coupe.

Acc0rd79 yup i agree with you. I'd rather buy the 90's model rather than the 2000's one

I have a 2007 Pilot EX-L and I love it

I’d say the 2000s were still the golden era for Honda. What about the S2000? The Element? Insight?

Matteson Miller the s2000 was engineered around 1997

preludeF20Bking eh, that’s technically true. But to be fair, the S2000’s model years were 2000 to 2009, so you see how it could be deemed as a “2000s car”.

Ok. This thing was behind the Ford Taurus in terms of style. The Camry wouldn’t catch up until 1992 and the Accord not until 1994.

@@Bartonovich52 lmao no, after this gen they started to look like ass, late 90s early 2000s is, by a longshot, the worst era or car design

Shades of RCR...

I need to pick up the kid from Gymboree, how much for a blow and go.

Sounds good but then took a twist.... Something not right here... Are you a pastor too?

That's awesome.

Hopefully getting one this Saturday, going to be my first car

No

100% correct statement

I agree with you used to have a 1991 lx

I would say the 5th gen would be- basically this one but more streamlined and slightly bigger

5th gen prelude linds easy better imo🤷‍♂️ that being said its a sport accord basically

lol that is a travesty. CB7s are all over the roads today still. Where are the Corsicas?

Seems to me that the Corsica went on vacation in a junkyard and transformed into a Malibu later on.

Where are all the Camrys from that generation for that matter too?

Did the price they were comparing include the paint job it would need just after the warranty expired because of paint peeling off the primer?

Hey the Accord is still a good car especially with the manual

I love Pontiac Bonneville

Yes I've been watching John for his wish for those gauges. LOL

Why you need a voltage meter? You have a light that goes on when battery is low and its good! And oil pressure? For what?

I got an 87 Mercedes with the oil pressure gauge

This went far in the Mercury Marauder review because RCR later revealed Marauder's oil pressure gauge was a dummy.

Yes. And he always calls it the Toyota Cam-Ray

I picked up a 1991 Accord LX with 50k on the odometer back in 2020. Changed the timing belt, threw on some new fuel injectors for peace of mind and she runs like a Swiss watch

BCJDM i see 23 separate chevrolet coriscas AND berettas from these years. And they are doing well, and still driving around as if they were new. Meanwhile, in camp honda, ive seen 1 of these. And it was rotted to the ground, no rockers, nearly destroyed quarters, and a falling apart bumper. GM made better cars compared to its competition. Youve all just been brainwashed not to say so.

I still these all over Texas

I woke up to see this generation of a Honda Accord in front of my house yesterday. Neighbor is having work done and his house and one of the workers drove it and parked it in front of my house :-)

@@Lrules364 Berettas? Corsicas? Where do you live? The ozarks? Mississippi...Alabama? One of the Dakotas? We haven't seen those in any cosmopolitan or metropolitan areas since about 2001. Doubt anyone under 24 on either coast has any recollection of them existing.

+LRulesTheWorld -- The delusions of domestic nut-swingers never fails to amuse me. GM provably did NOT build better cars in this era and the Corsica/Beretta were among GM's most egregious examples. There's a reason why those two are not produced anymore while the Accord is now in its tenth generation. Who's the one that's brainwashed here?

I got mine from craigslist in 2007 as my first car. It clicked over 235k miles on my drive home. Drove it as a first car and beat the shit out of it like a moron, totaling it twice. I drove it to the junkyard with 298k on it and bought another with 190k. Drove it to 230k and sold to a coworker, bought another MINT 1 owner dealership maintained one with a bad starter with 233k on it.. it was the best running and shifting one of the bunch. It felt like a totally different car. It's at 323k now and I manual swapped it. Point is, I've never owned a low mileage one and I've never had any mechanic issues with any of my Accords ever. Never got left behind or stranded, anything that ever broke was user error. Insanely good cars.

@@jay.fromthebay I actually had the exact EX, color & everything. Severely regret selling this car even though it had 260k. Everything worked, even the sunroof.......... Sold it back in 2004 for $1500

@@jay.fromthebay my first car was a 1990 accord. My parents bought it new and gave it to me when I turned 16 in 1998. At the time I thought it was ugly and I hated it, (of course I wanted a sports car) so I abused the F*** out of it. I drove it banging gears like it was a race car (it is a 5 speed) Hell I would only put oil in it when the low oil pressure light would flash. For years I treated the car like that. One day in 2005 I was talking to a buddy who was on his second engine and 3rd transmission in his 1999 escort ZX2 when I realized I had never had a single problem with my accord. The car had taken YEARS of abuse and neglect and never once left me stranded. Then I realized how much I actually loved it. I still have the car to this day and to this day it has NEVER left me stranded. Granted I take much better care of it these days but I literally hopped in it and drove it from Point Mugu CA to Jacksonville FL last month with out so much as a care. Everyone likes to talk about how any car can last forever if you take care of it. The 4th gen accord will last forever even when you don’t.

@@TurboNFRStwoK amazing story, glad you still have it! Are you on the cb7 FB group? Agreed. These are bulletproof and idiot proof. Can't kill them even trying.

@@jay.fromthebay I didn’t even know there was a CB7 FB group. I’m going to go check it out now.

Couldn't agree more!! When they switched around the rear light placement for the 92 & 93 models, they looked even better!!

Seba 6 foreal thoo I was like damn chill bro 😂

I was ready to yell at him , haha , like a damm kid after way to much Candy

I feel like there was some wide spread ADHD crisis back then. Many of these videos feature some guy being way too hyper

And why does he have on gloves, looking like Inspector Gadget.

Well he is or was a car tester to prove how versatile they were!

The Integra probably has that prize, but these were very good as well.

Even now. That's why I just picked up a 2018 Accord Sport with the 6 speed manual. Who knows how long they'll keep offering the manual transmission. I felt like I needed one before it was too late. It's smooth as butter too.

@@xfiringsquadx -- You are absolutely correct, unfortunately. The only two car makers that remain somewhat faithful to the manual transmission are Honda and Mazda, and who knows how long that'll last. Either way, there is no modern manual trans with a cable-operated system that can even remotely compare to the feeling and satisfaction of rowing through an old-fashioned linkage-style setup, and Honda had it pretty much perfected. I never even bothered to mess with the shifter in my old Integra because it was THAT good.

Everyone seems to forget the maxima.. it made 60 more hp at the time and had manual

J. Gainez but it was a boat

I had a 93 with a 5 speed but it had transmission problems. Shady dealer sold it to me. I purchased a 96 accord after that and in my opinion it was the most reliable accord I’ve owned. 7 years and only had to change brake pads and normal maintenance. Miss that car.

1993 Accord SE please.....

Burgundy too right? RIP

Beatifull 5 speed

f22a6 Best bang for buck honda engine. Swap the block out with an f23a1 and go toe to toe with the k series for a fraction of the cost.

I'll never sell my CB7.

I'll never sell mine either. '92 LX

Won’t sell mine either. It’ll have to catch fire first

Literally looking for another CB7 lol

Simba TheGreat find it stop playing 😡

These cars had plenty of small things go wrong at higher miles. Maybe the engine and transmission are fine, but many things go wrong well before 200K miles. All rubber parts like engine seals and suspension bushings would fail and several electrics would go bad. By now parts are getting hard to get from the dealership

I own one with 55k miles and after putting in a new starter, alternator, serpentine belt, timing belt, water pump, distributor, spark plugs, plug wires, radiator and new injectors this thing will most likely be the last car I own. The paint on the valve cover is still fully intact. Gonna have it repainted at some point and redo the interior. Does need the passenger side rear quarter panel replaced due to some rust bubbling around the wheel well but I'm not concerned in the slightest.

I think that's Motorweek's former assistant producer, Taylor Baxter . He sat in the interiors of test cars along with Craig Singhaus, Max Balotin, and David Schrivener in the late 80's and early 90's.

I still havd my isotoners

You must have an EBT card as well. How sad.

I’d rather have a 1990 ex any day. New Honda cars are ugly af

that teal green was THE color for this generation that seemed to define it. they offered like 3 different shades of green for this gen, that teal being one of the most beautiful.

e30m31989 rod linkage is superior to the new cables

The Tech Librarian omg i used to love how my 91 sounded on startup after a fresh oil change 😍😍😍 I miss that Car like crazy lol my 06 is great, but none of the spunk

Mines a 91 LX with 65,000 miles. Replaced a few things due to age but its still running in 2021. Rattles a bit but I'm not selling this anytime soon

awesome story, almost missed out on a gem!

@@jay.fromthebay I sure did. And I still have that car to this day. It's not my daily as I bought a new 2021 Accord. But I still drive Mrs Daisy regularly. Yes I named her Mrs Daisy.

@@deltaboy767 awesome! I was just at the junkyard here in CA and noticed they had a really nice straight clean 93 SE coupe for sale whole. I wanted it but I have too many cars so I took pictures and posted it in the massive cb7 Facebook group and a guy from Kansas City, MO was really interested in it as a project since he had a 93 coupe once and wanted to relive his nostalgia. Since he was out of state I ended up buying it for him, diagnosing and fixing it in the yard, getting it to run, and he just flew in yesterday and today he left with it to drive it back to Missouri. It was a ton of work and effort but I saved another one. It's a bit rough around the edges and definitely needs some love and fixing but that engine was butter with 243k miles on it. Hopefully he makes it home okay!

@@jay.fromthebay That's awesome, I've thought about selling Mrs Daisy, she's clean for the miles. And runs smooth as butter and the automatic is strong and shifts like it did when I bought it.

@@deltaboy767 That's awesome, the transmissions are super reliable but it's a hit or miss on how smooth they are. Almost all the ones I had, about 7, all shifted pretty firmly, but this one I just bought and another friend's shift really really nicely. How many miles are on yours?? Don't sell it, you'll regret it eventually.

I had a 90 civic ex it was a very good car too

BRUH HAHAHAH

Get a ‘92-93 then

Maybe he would be even more comfortable with an ejection seat.

interstate366 , they did. They just had to time travel in real time, like the rest of us, to get there 😂

Manufacturers could either have an airbag or those automatic belts.

late 93 they put in a driver airbag and normal shoulder belts. In 94 they started to come with driver and passenger airbags with normal over shoulder belts.

That burgandy was one the best colors on the cb7.

jay92889 there was a burgundy that was more of a red color, this was a super dark purple, almost black. It came from the factory that way and I haven’t seen another. It came from a reputable dealer, dealer had used it, I was wondering if someone knew more about it and if it had a paint code or a name for it.

jay92889 yeah I think it was the burgundy, pictures I have look darker, but I still think it’s that one.

I had 5 90-93 integras and they also had that low, flat dash and lots of open window space. Great view. I have a tsx now that I do love and feel more safe in, but those cars will always have a place in my heart.

I see a lot of these generation Accords too. But they be raggedy as hell. But they still be driving along though.

Only because it’s California. These rusted to nothing in the places were it snows.

All very true!

Wish i knew when i had my 5 speed 93 EX.

I'd love the wagon version. I might have to get one eventually.

Those wagons are quite rare
