I have almost 140k miles on my '93 Accord (auto) and now that the engine has
loosened up a bit, I'd say it runs better than new. It passes the emission
inspection by a wide margin. After an alignment by a good shop last year,
I felt like I had a new car--no vibrations up to 100mph.

I had a stranger approach me as I was gassing up last week to tell me that
"If you take car of that car, it will take care of you". Apparently there
are a lot of people out there who used to own 91-93 Accords, moved on
to other cars, but miss the Accord. If any Accord is capable of joining
the million mile club, the 91-93 vintage is.
