I remember the Vigor always showing at the top of Consumer Reviews. It was the car all the doctor's wives were driving in the early 90s. I always wanted to own a Vigor. I loved the wood dash trim and leather interior.

Fun fact The Canadian GS trim came with heated seats and heated mirrors while the US version didn’t! The GS trim was the trim to get because the LS trim is too similar to the accord

I like how you love the car anyone who has ever had one realizes how great they are

I had a 1993 Accord SE. That car is fantastic. The Bose system is still better than many systems now with more speakers and the interior quality and design also feels better than many current vehicles. If I could find another SE in decent shape, I would guy it in a heartbeat.

you're paying $9000 extra for the special longitudinally mounted 5 cylinder engine on FWD car! Worth it, Mmm mmm!

In 1990, I went as a kid to a Honda showroom and saw a Honda Accord EXR in black with tan interior. With its trim, orderly styling, aluminum wheels (not that common at the time), and its high level of finish quality, it was a truly beautiful car. It was expensive in the Canadian market though. The price was $23,500. In those days, you could easily buy for less a larger, more comfortable American car with a V6 like an Oldsmobile 88 (which were very popular), or a Ford Taurus - appealing choices for family life and long road trips in the summer. To put things in context, and not to say they were comparable, but a Ford Tempo was about $11,000 out the door. Canadians and the car market were different then. Entry level luxury did not exist as a concept. For many, the main focus was to get as much car for as little as possible.

I owned a vigor back in the day, it was a good first car for me, accord owners were jealous of the vigor probably because it had more power. But I do know for a fact that the vigor governs out at 130 mph..

Vigors are 4 door coupes, driving feel and seating position of a prelude. Love 'em. Passengers better not have legs.

I have a cb and spent some good time with a Vigor I picked up for a friend some time ago. No question the cb is more practical but I found the Vigor to be a LOT more sporty. Where the cb is soft and numb, the Vigor felt way more stiff and sporty, almost European like. I really liked that car and how stable it felt. The engine note and the power were incredible bonuses. The one I drove was that signature metallic green with the burnt orange leather interior, it was a gorgeous car for sure. The DSP oem stereo was pretty futuristic as well. I love my cb after having owned it for nearly 13 years but the Vigor was by far the superior driving car and had a nice quality interior.

Damn, never heard of the Vigor till now

I love these cars. Timeless look and design

I worked at an Acura dealership from 2000 to 2005. I only saw maybe 2 vigors come in. Even though we still worked on 80s legends and integras and even a handful of bastard sterlings and the SLX(Isuzu Trooper).

I have great memories with my blue Acura Vigor 1991, great 2,5 engine and chip on gas. I used it for work. However, a drunk driver broke my left headlight and it was impossible to find replacement in original piece in Alberta and at -28 C on highway the heater fell down.

To anyone wanting a first lil daily, go with a CB7. these run strong with rarely any issues :)

Good to know and thank you for the reply. Too bad that they are interference engines. I was thinking of purchasing a 4 cylinder 1992 Toyota Camry or a 1992 Honda Accord. But when found out the the Camry is an non-interference design, I decided to pursue that vehicle instead.

Late to the party but a 4th gen Accord vs 2nd gen Legend would be a good video.

great comparison and video

Isnt the Acura Vigor the Honda inspire?

good night I would like to know if you have or know where I can buy the G20A engine ???

Acura vigor is a cc2 . Not cb5 / is a great car ,handles well and great speed . I had 5speed ,rare to find . Really quick with basic bolt ons. /cb7 accord is just a basic car like any other 90s Honda Civic . You could get about anything for the vigor online .

hi love your vids on cars i just got an acura 92 with 120 miles and i love it i had a similar acura vigor wit sun roof that my bro crashed beyond repair ,this one is one odlf a fwe survivals wich this on lack of sunroof but i think this is a kick @$$car i got it for 1100 dollars

Hello... Did the Vigor use an interference or a non interference engine design?

Whyd u guys even bring the tuned accord ex??? I thought u guys were gonna drive it as well whyd u even put it in the thumbnail let alone mention it compeating with the vigor.

You have a point about the vigor but that engine is unique because it’s Hondas only production inline 5 and the only other company’s that made gas inline 5s where Volvo, Audi and vw .if you ever heard a ttrs or rs3 modified or a Volvo it sounds very similar to a V10 from a Lamborghini or a dodge viper a turbocharged version of this engine would sound like nothing else Honda has built outside of there f1 v12 and v10 engines. If I am correct in the late 90s Honda put the g25a2 in the Acura TL 2.5 is that car more common than the vigor ?

first any snow driving video is planned?

Love it

I’ve never had problems with buying parts for my Viger GS

Does the leather in the Acura vigor have power seats?

Nice!!

Vigor was right in between Accord and the Legend ! Did the VIGOR has slightly better handling than the 91-93 or 94-97 Accord ? Or about the same ? Looking at the specs the i-5 2.5 has 6 hp more and 5 extra torque vs the 96-97 V6 2.7 Accord. Both - autos - about the same weight although Vigor was 5' longer . But VIGOR has 0.5 sec advantage over the ACCORD V6 in 0-60 as well as for 1/4 mile according to official info But I wonder about the handling .

Had a 92 Vigor GS; hard on gas but so much fun to drive. I was looking for an Accord but found the Acura for the same price. Enjoyed the sports car feel of the car.

Why not get two cars that are the same year??? Thatd even be more accurate. I have a 93 honda accord lx btw and its very reliable. Great car. All stock now. And im looking at adding loud exhaust and coilovers with 17 inch rims someday

Both share the same chassis right?

Lol a Vigor eat your cat or something?

Bruh you sound a LOT like Nolan from Donut media!

No 1990 Honda Ascots

0:30 huh human music

The 2.2 liters 1992 Accord has 140+ horsepower according to the brochure back there. The 1.6 civic which was 125 HP. Your number must be wrong.

Vigor motor Accord body nice

Poor America, you got all the crap spec Japanese engines.
