1993 Honda Accord User Reviews

This Car Is A Great Go To Car! — There's nothing too great or too terrible about this vehicle. I love her! When she finally does quit, I will definitely cry. This car was a great price, and the fuel economy makes it so she's basically buying herself! I'm now a Honda fan!

Primary Use: Family transportation

Excellent — It's old and I need an update. It's super reliable, needs studded tires in deep snow or slush. Plenty of power and mine is a 5 speed so it is more sporting to drive. I would def recommend it to someone.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Excellent Daily Driver —

I bought this car in 1998, used, five years old, with 85,000 miles. Since then, I have put about 190,000 miles, on this car, as the primary driver of this vehicle. The Honda Accord Wagon is a reliable, well-built car, that, with proper maintenance, will provide economical transportation for many years. With the car now at 19 years old, and 275,000 miles, I considered replacing the vehicle......until I looked at the cost of a new, or good used vehicle. I then decided to pay for a top-line restoration of the body, which includes removal of all trim and windows, sanding, filling dents, two coats of primer, then paint and clear coat. This should get me through another five years, at least. The interior holds up to routine wear, and the only place which shows real wear is the carpeted floor mat on the driver's side. If someone buys this car used, ask when the timing belt was last replaced. If the date or mileage (especially mileage) is not known, factor in an extra $1,000 to replace the belt. I would also recommend replacement of the head gasket at the same time. Even though this may be an expensive repair up front, since these cars, used, now retail for under $3,000, the buyer would still be getting an outstanding "daily driver" for a very reasonable cost. The transmission recently began to have problems shifting, and I discovered that it was due to the transmission control computer (TCU), which is located under the passenger floorboard. New, these units cost $1,000, but they can be rebuilt for about $100.00. Look on ebay under Honda Accord Wagon TCU or transmission computer. The car may seem sluggish during acceleration, especially if one tries to accelerate from a speed of 30-40 mph to a higher speed. This is because the car is in "overdrive" while the transmission is in the normal D position. Downshifting to D3 (pull shifter back one position) locks out overdrive, and provides a significant power boost for acceleration. Once at the desired speed, push the shifter back to D4 (normal drive position), and the car will drop back into overdrive. As can be seen, this car has issues that are typical of an older car, but I would still highly recommend this vehicle for long-term ownership.

1993 Knight Rider (honda) Accord Ex — Out of the gate the appearance for the year us stylish and has very roomie cabin area. Besides this being the first show/play car i lacks power to perform. With a vtec motor and some minor changes this car can overcome any nay sayers and will turn heads.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Awesome — quick, peppy, nimble, still a work in progress, waiting on a new cam and set of ground controls to tighten up the ride. 25mpg only problem is body roll. car is fun as hell to drive. i love my car
