Review

I bought my 5 speed 1992 EX 2 door Accord with 14,000 miles on it in 1993. It now has 185,000 miles, been to canada several times, 2 accidents and still runs like a charm. I loved this car the day I bought it and still do. So much fun to drive. I wish I didnt have to sell it.

Favorite Features

Moon Roof. 5 speed

Expensive Maintenance

Review

Front brakes have to be done by a mechanic for an extra 125. Total 315 for two hours work. 125 in parts at a store. Timing belt change costs 700! Why is the oil filter is on back of engine block? What a pain. Battery has to be removed to replace right head lights. Again, what a pain. Spark plugs are deeply recessed. Maybe too deeply since my gaskets were replaced by a Honda dealer and oil still leaks, filling the plug holes. Original distributor, radio, and exhaust long since gave up the ghost. Forcing the car into fifth, I broke the syncromesh gear. Now I have to double- clutch fifth and cause excessive wear to the clutch.

Favorite Features

Catching a trash bag with the antenna at 80mph and bending it.

Suggested Improvements

Honda should increase the ability of owners to service their own cars.

Make sure you use genuine Honda parts

Review

Great car. Bought it used. The prior owner took the car to a national chain muffler repair shop for his repairs. After-market parts are NOT the same as genuine Honda parts! After some breakdowns and lots of cash to diagnose an ignition problem, we found a universal after-market O2 sensor was the cause. Unless it's tires or brake pads, use only Honda parts. Trust me!

Favorite Features

Reliability. Over 325,000 kilometers (200,000 miles) so far.

Suggested Improvements

1. Better car stereo in the base model. 2. Addition of or reloaction of existing cup-holders. 3. Easier access to the alternator in case of replacement (never had to do this, but I'm told it's not easy to do it).

Review

I have owned my accord for over a year now, and love everything about it. It has great interior and exterior styling and is pretty decent on power too (140 hp)... they only problems i've had with the car were an oxygen sensor that needed replaced and the radiator which had a crack in it... other than that, it is a VERY reliable car which i would reccomend to anyone... i've also added some extra modifications to my accord, which include 17" wheels, lowering springs, upgraded sound system, full performance exhaust system, and cold air intake. All of these upgrades compliment my already great looking and performing accord, and make it even more fun to drive!

Favorite Features

sunroof, rear spoiler, coupe taillights, 140 hp EX engine, seats, and the dash setup

Suggested Improvements

none at all

Most Reliable Car

Review

This is the car I use to get around. My car has only had one problem, and thats caused by me. The car has 200,000 miles on it and still is running. I have run this car into the ground and its 4 cylinder engine continues to run well. As for performance, I have the base model DX with manual transmission, and I have to say it accelrates like you wouldn't believe. The car is so light that it accelerates, I'd say equivelent to a Porsche Carrera.

Favorite Features

Its high acceleration.

Review

This car is exellent. It has had hardly any problems, although the emissions sensor seems to have trouble. Also, for such a reliable car, the cup holders are troublesome as they do not stay in. It is peppy and fun to drive. It is also more attractive than other cars of its day.

Favorite Features

The engine is good. (0-60 in 8 sec.) The handling is also very good. I like the trunk. It is spacious. The seats are comfortable also.

Suggested Improvements

The cup holder is a bit weak, and the interior of the car could be less bland. It is better looking than a Ford or Toyota though. Othrwise, it is a great car.

Review

Had this car for 10 years and 160K miles with no problems until it was totaled when rear-ended and pushed into another vehicle . . . plenty of power with manual transmission, even with 4cyl engine . . . comfortable, smooth ride . . . as far as better half is concerned, no new car can replace this one

Favorite Features

Too many to list

Review

We bought a '92 Honda Accord LX 4-door sedan in '95 as the care came off a 3- year lease from a private party. We have been very happy with the reliability and low operating costs of this vehicle. Now that the Accord has 108,000 miles on it, we are just as happy with it as when we bought it.

Favorite Features

Reliability and low operating/maintenance costs.

Suggested Improvements

Can't think of any.

Review

I purchased my 92 EX sedan new after several GM lemons. After nearly 11 years I now have 115,000 (local and highway) miles on the car and not one problem! Routine maintenance and timing belt the only time the car was in the shop. Drives like new except the window motors (slowing down). Plan to keep the car and give to my daughter when she is ready to drive.

Favorite Features

QUALITY!!!! Nice body style.

Suggested Improvements

Interior not quite as plush as that Oldsmobile Brougham interior but the car has lasted much longer!

Review

Best automobile I've every owned. Almost 95,000 before I changed the front brakes. No trouble at all with the engine, still runs and performs well. Have had some problems with cv joint replacement, but other than this and some A/C problems the car has been great. After 10 yrs. in the sun the paint job is oxidizing, but I guess this should be expected. I love this car, would like to have a pick-up but can't bring myself to trade up. This car has some features that many of the American cars didn't incorperate until years later.

Favorite Features

Favorite feature is the smoothness of the engine and the five speed transmission. Also love the body style.

Suggested Improvements

Improvements in the CV joints rubber boot, would have saved me a number of visits to the repair shop.
