1993 Honda Accord 10th Anniversary Edition from North America - Comments

Suspension is noisy when it is cold outside.

Very rarely stalls when stopped, maybe once or twice a year.

Seals in right taillights bad, causing condensation to build inside cavity.

Noticed a decrease in horsepower since first purchased. Maybe due to high mileage.

I love my car! It has never broken down on me, has seen two wrecks totaling almost 9000 dollars, and still runs great in the city and on the highway. I do plan on keeping this car until it dies.

I bought it for 6800 dollars at the local Honda repair shop in vicinity of Pittsburgh, PA. Very good bargain due to the fact that it looked to be in showroom condition when I had bought it.

Has seen 3 PA winters, and loves the snow.

It has seen countless road trips to and from PA and VA.

I am concerned about the transmission a little though; the torque converter does not work very well. Will only work well in the summer with the air conditioning going...otherwise, during winter, it rarely works. I am not sure if it was due to the accident, or wear over time.

I'm very surprised that you said that you would not think about ever buying this car again, after you stated that it has been very reliable, and practically nothing has gone wrong with it. You must have extremely high expectations. As for the transmission, the automatic transmissions on the 1990 to 1993 Honda Accords have been known to be bad. Only the manual transmissions are good. So I'll give you credit there, otherwise, I don't understand you.

They said, "I wouldn't think twice about buying this car again" They mean, if they had the opportunity to buy this car again, they would not hesitate, and would do it again in a heart beat.

Oops, heh heh...

My mistake.

Sorry.

I purchased my 10th anniversary edition Accord in December of 2002 with 89,247 miles on it. It has had a lot of money dropped into it. I have replaced all 4 motor mounts. the distributor, and other common maintenance things such as the brakes, the exhaust system etc. I have the automatic transmission which I'm fairly sure came standard with the model. It has never been replaced, but I will be getting it flushed soon because it lags when I switch gears. It will actually pop into gear after about 2 seconds when switching to drive and 3 seconds when switching to reverse. Although I could blow the transmission with the flush, this model has a history of holding up well to the treatment. It really runs well, but I too have noticed a decrease in hp since I purchased the car and hit 100,000 miles. I was involved in an accident in November of 2003 in which I was parked and got slapped in the right rear quarter by a 1993 Ford F-150 XLT that lost control during a brake stand. it spun my little car around and caused $3000 worth of damage. I have a new quarter and bumper. my trunk now leaks uncontrollably no matter how often I get it fixed. Next time I'm buying a Volkswagen or when I win the lottery a Wrx.

I bought my 93 Accord SE with 167K miles on it for $4,000 in 2003 (two years ago,) have already put almost $3,000 into it and the cost is still climbing. So far it's been a half axle for the CV joint, tune up with wires, pan gasket, brakes and rotors, valve cover gasket, distributor o-ring, timing belt, complete exhaust including catalytic converter, other belts, water pump and a few other seals. It's leaking again and this time I'm told it's the timing belt cover... and by the way, the pan gasket looks bad again and the bolts were not very tight. Oh and that timing belt cover? It was suggested the belt should be replaced again, at a cost of $500, since it's probably now saturated with oil and could become faulty very soon. I thought I would put some extra money into this aging senior citizen of a car and give it a few extra years, but I didn't think it would take THAT much money. Maybe it's not the car, maybe it's the shoddy work and/or reputation of my mechanic. I just can't see replacing a timing belt after 2 years. Whatever went wrong should have been taken care of 2 years ago. It's too bad because I really like this car... it's great on gas mileage and is comfortable to drive.

I traded my 2004 Ford Explorer for this car, and it's great on gas.

I haven't had any major problems with it yet besides my alternator going out on me.

I also run 4 white neons underneath and have a huge stero system (2 amps- 2 15"speakers)!

I added a body kit, duel cat's, coil over kit and a paint job! Looks great and runs great!

I really want to upgrade as much of the engine as possible. So far I've only added a cold air intake and performed my regular maintenance.

I do feel a slip in the transmission going from second to third, but I was told it was time for a new timing belt. I don't know if that's the reason it feels like that, but like I said, it's a great car!

My first car ever owned was a 83 Acura Integra (Honda motor) then a Toyota Corolla (Japanese), 93 Acura Legend (Honda motor), and then the Ford. I won't ever buy an American car again!! ALWAYS DO BUSINESS WITH HONDA!!!

11:14 I too went from many Accords, an Integra, Legends and then they went downhill. Keep your old ones do not buy newer take it from me. The new Hondas have been poor and we went to new GM's.

Well I love my Honda Accord 10th Anniversary Edition!!! It's a very good car. It's good on gas and everything.

Even though it is very expensive replacing some of the parts on it, I still love it!!!
