1997 Honda Accord Coupe LX - POV Test Drive

[@sigrholambda]

I used to have a 99, man getting into one of those and driving it around was a joy. You really can tell how heavy cars have gotten.

I will always watch videos about this generation. I learn to drive in a 1999 Accord during high school. I will always love that car. Yeah it had no AC or a radio and bad gas lines but it still was fun to drive. I wish we kept it. I wish I knew what I know now on how to maintain it.

I Will always have a 5th generation Honda Accord in my lineup it was the golden era of Japanese ingenuity.

[@smokesgtp]

Brings me back 20 years. These things were just simple and unbelievably reliable. Accurate steering with good feel, excellent shifter, and the seats were supportive.

[@baldheadlogic]

I will never forget this generation of Accord. ❤

[@Wasabi9111]

I always loved the simple ergonomic Honda interiors. It’s good to see Honda is one of the few cars nowadays w functional and simple interiors. But I miss the ultra low dash of earlier Hondas.

This was nice to watch, I learned to drive in this generation of Accord. Takes me back!

[@FlushNY]

I have a 94 EX 4-dr...manual, of course. My little gem backup car. Love it.

[@ajns746]

Great. I had one of these, and now I miss it. It was a V6. You're making me want to look in the classifieds for a 30-year-old accord!

[@officialyasir]

What a gem!

[@BenjiluvsHondas]

Just picked up a 97 lx sedan Manual as my first car this car looks so fun to drive!

[@tomrobinson2607]

How is it?

[@c_t5_]

I love those old Honda horns, it sounds just like my 2004 CR-V

My dad had an '02 DX 5MT. He wanted to use it to teach my brother and I stick. Sadly, a lady ran a red light and totaled it back in 2012. On another note, I would love the occasional video of vehicles that aren't new -- Whether that be driving impressions, audio system, fuel economy, or something else. If nothing else, it'd be neat to see how we've come over the years!

[@RoyalWolf17]

My first car. It sadly had to be taken to the dumps because I couldn’t afford maintenance anymore. I still have the key in my key chain because I just loved the thing.

[@GodsGunsGlory777]

My cousin had one brand new, he had the ex in manual and same green color. He went and put nuespeed springs, Enkie wheels, apex’I cat back and aem intake. I was like 11 when he first taught me how to do an oil change. Great times.

[@fenayev]

What an amazing car, literally just update the interior a bit and it's on equal footing to new cars imo

[@ImaniCoca]

Have one they the funnest to drive of any Honda never forget

[@davidcisneros7621]

That's a beauty 👌

[@rookeemaglipon1298]

I miss mine, had a 96 4 door manual, wish I kept it,,

[@kjcolby1978-pr8wf]

that is STILL a good looking car this many years later

[@strategicbushcraft6391]

You should do an audio test on it.

[@gothops154]

Back when you could get an awesome, middle class car for $20k. Now that won’t get you a Sentra

[@TheAxlin]

In 1997 that was equivalent to $39K…

[@dawsongranger4940]

This thing was honestly overpriced considering todays market. $39k equivalent for a 4 cylinder manual accord. That’s a horrible value. A 2022 touring with the 2.0 turbo was $38k and the new touring are $38k starting

[@gothops154]

@@dawsongranger4940 inflation calculators don’t tell the whole story. People had MUCH lower expenses compared to the avg salary. To say it would be $39k is meaningless and inaccurate

[@kjcolby1978-pr8wf]

minimum wage was also like 5 bucks an hour.. it all goes hand in hand

[@tigerhawk84]

Why are there no stop signs at any of the intersections in that neighborhood lol

[@DailyMotor]

Ikr? Has always been weird to me

[@TwisteeTheDefiant1]

An LX coupe with a sunroof? Always thought the sunroof wasn't a feature on any trim below EX 🤔

[@colouredbills4869]

I had the same one except gold colour. F22B baby. SOHC non-VTEC lol

[@JP-ji6of]

Great car but mines unfortunately has given me so many issues, probably more due to lack of care from the previous owner. Such a shame bc mines has no rust, the engine is just shot

[@elflorero316]

MPG TEST 100 miles

[@wl6020]

Very likely going to average 32 mpg at 72mph.
