Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Reliable. One man drove his 1990 Honda Accord for over 1 million miles. Great reputation.
Cons: nothing
The Bottom Line: I got the most bank for my buck
My husband and I each owned cars when we married. A few years ago due to layoffs we shared a car. When someone ran a stop sign and hit the car it was totaled. We could not afford to purchase another vehicle so we have been riding the bus catching ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: gas milage, long lasting value
Cons: non-import mechanics hate them! parts are a little pricey
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car because if you keep up the maintance on it, the car will take you a long way. good for college students too
I love my Honda. Its a red 1990 Honda Accord DX, 5-spd. Its as basic as you can get, i mean...its so basic I don't even have a passenger side mirror LOL. But I got this car about a year and a half ago at a "buy here pay here" dealership. I had an option ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability, performance, look, durability, comfort, fun to drive
Cons: Can be easy to steal, must secure a good anti theft device
The Bottom Line: Cannot beat this car--very low price (only due to age). This car can live forever and drives like a dream even at 16 years old
The reason is this car LASTS. If taken care of this car at almost 17 years old drives and handles like new. I love this car and in fact I would prefer the older model Accord over some of the brand new cars on the market today. Mine has over 200,000 and ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Gets 24 mpg, reliable-won't break down on the highway, comfortable,visibility the best.
Cons: Nothing bad to say. Hey! I have owned the same Accord for 15 yrs!!
The Bottom Line: You won't find a more reliable car than the Accord. It gets great gas mileage, great visibility, ease of maneuvering and lots of room.
This is a great car!! I bought my 1990 EX (loaded) brand new, paid a bit over $16,000. When I moved from NJ to MN in 2001, I towed that little car behind the moving van, and have driven it until March of this year (2005). It has 155,000 miles on her, ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great value, looks, with outstanding durability. Accords are built to attain 200,000 miles with ease.
Cons: Turning radius too wide. Blind spot is somewhat big. Door handle housings tend to crack.
The Bottom Line: Great model and year (though getting old now). You still see many cruising down the road! Very, very durable with few maintenance problems. Great used car to purchase.
I purchased my 1990 five years ago and it has been a real trooper. I have the EX Model (top of the line for that year) and that made a difference. The EX model comes with power doors, windows, great sound, and a factory moon roof and the more powerful ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: dependable and cheap to maintain, compared to other cars.
Cons: Bad turning radius and weak AC. Both are fixed on the 2003 Accords.
The Bottom Line: it was a good car, and knock on wood, I'll keep on driving it till its got 500,000 mi.
In 1990, I paid $17,500 for this car. Every oil change and service was performed at the Honda dealer ... read more

Jun 6, 2003 (A Somewhat Helpful review)
Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability (when in proper working order)
Cons: Expensive repairs
The Bottom Line: Overall I like this car, but the seats pretty much suck, and it can be very moody probably because of it's mileage. Go with a low-mileage Honda!
I bought my 1990 Honda Accord at an auction in the dead of winter at the age of 16. I had done more researching on good and bad cars than consumer reports and had concluded that this was what I wanted. Only one problem--The car had 183,000 miles on it, ... read more

Cons: Back seat a little too short, but I dont ride in the rear
The Bottom Line: Buy it, you wont be sorry.
I bought this car 9 months ago with 155,000 mile on it. This is the "best" car I have ever owned. New or used. Since owning it I have changed the seals in the engine(had slight leak and my wife hated the mess), the antenna(was a little noisy and didnt ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Value goes up the older it gets DEPENDABLE
Cons: Low to the ground, shoulder belts, long front doors tend to shut on you
The Bottom Line: Never fell in love with it, always appreciate it. Simple compared to today's cars. Great gas mileage. Sporty, plenty of pick up. Long-legged drivers listen up!
Family loves Hondas-we've had about every model; I even bought the CRX first year model! Traded it in for this Accord. Needed a family car, and air conditioning!
It now has almost 200,000 miles, is a five speed, and was told by my repair guy that it ... read more

Pros: Made in Marysville Ohio...not japan! great reliability...takes a licking and keeps on ticking!
Cons: Everyone thinks it's made in Japan!
The Bottom Line: The Honda Accord is a family friendly sedan, with the heart of a coupe. Great milage, great prices...great car!
Everyone in my family has owned a honda accord at one time or another...my uncle, my grandmother, my aunt, my mother...and now me. I am the proud owner of a 1990 Honda Accord Sedan (four doors). If I were to buy another vehicle, I would most definately ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Superb road handling. High value. Low rollover rate. Comfortable to drive. Stereo theater sound.
Cons: Front seat belt may jam in doors when closing. Gas mileage indicator not too accurate.
The Bottom Line: Buy it. Don't wait. Pay a bit more & get rewarded many times over. Superb handling. Very quiet. Steers lightly. Does not flip after skids. RECOMMEND *****.
I have had this car since 8/90. While I regret having sold my 1982 Accord (now Civic-size)because of worn-out back top seats due to the sun, the 1990 Honda Accord is one of the finest cars ever built.
The 1990 is the first in a new model ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: It's tough and fun and keeps chugging along.
Cons: High maintenance, a little bigger than necessary.
The Bottom Line: If it ever dies, I will mourn it like a family member
So I'm only being tongue-in-cheek when it comes to the whole "raw power" thing. Sometimes I find myself downshifting even on the highway. But it's a little workhorse. The gas mileage, after 12 years and 130XXX continues to astonish, and while it requires ... read more

The Bottom Line: Economical, without sacrificing comfort
Reliability questionable after 11 years
I recently acquired a well maintained 1990 Honda Accord LX. I must say that this is a fantastic little car. It is very reliable. The car has been in my family since it was new and it has not broken down or given us mechanical trouble once. This car was ... read more

I was fed up with American cars and all their mechanical problems. My last two new cars were from General Motors and they both suffered from rear axle problems--and lots of other problems, due to poor design and sloppy workmanship. I wanted a reliable ... read more

The driver's side mirror is held on with black electrical tape. This summer our radiator had been glued together so water would stop leaking out of it. When you accelerate the entire car jerks back. Sometimes you can't turn the car off until you turn ... read more

My first child was on the way and I had to give up my 86 Pontiac Fiero, for something our (soon to be 3) family could fit into.
