1992 Honda Accord Coupe Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Performance: This car had the largest engine available in the Accord of this year. The Acceleration was great, I had a 5 speed manual. It had a pretty high top speed, I could do 120 on I-80 and not worry about losing control. it felt like a sports car without the sticker price of a sports car. The handling was great, the aftermarket suspension allowed the car to tun on a dime, no body roll. it floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. Braking was excellent, I could come to a stop easily without locking up the tires and losing control. Build Quality; I bought this car at 16 years old, it was definitely showing its age. The plastic components, like door handles were giving out, the window motors went out more than once, the windows would also fall off the track. There were many interior components that gave out from regular use, the car was 16 years old, but I was irritated that the materials were so cheap that they could not hold up to heavy use. Appearance; This car was beautiful, one of the reasons I bought it, the Suspension kit gave it a aggressive lowered stance, the color was nice, The Enkel rims had low profile tires that really added some class to the cars appearance. The tinted windows were functional in the way they kept tha car from heating up in the hot Sacramento sun. The Bra looked great and kept the front end from rocks that would chip the paint. Overall, I loved the looks of this car. Cost of ownership: The Accord got great gas mileage, routine maintenance kept the total cost of repairs down, the brakes needed replacement more often than most other cars, but may have deteriorated at an accelerated rate from the hilly area where I lived. Fun Factor: The stock Accord is not fun to drive, I have driven one, and it was like any other commuter car. The modifications that were made raised the level of satisfaction and enjoyment of driving this car. With all the mods this car out-handled any car I ever driven. Apr 16, 2011
