I see more '94-'97 Honda Accords on the road during my daily commute than
ANY OTHER make/model of vehicle! This clearly tells me that these cars have
a whole lot going for them. People simply do NOT hang on to cars for 9 to 12
years, or drive a 9 to 12 year old car that
they purchased used, unless the car has a lot to offer them for their money.
Decent ride,
handling, fuel economy, reliability and good ergonomics. The '94-'97 Accord
has all of these
and more if you asked me. In fact, I have a '98 Accord that I absolutely
love, but I still would
like to purchase a really nice '97 if I could find myself one. They are so
popular where I live
they get snatched up really fast. If you're not in the right place at the
right time with cash in hand
someone will beat you to the punch regarding these cars. :-) They're one
of the automotive
industry's biggest sales success stories--and it's for a VERY good reason.
