What is the accord thought to be???

[newjdmdriver]

Hi, I was just wondering what the accord would be??? a family sedan, Sports car, or just a grosery go getter??? dont get me wrong I actualy think it would be uniqe to customize such a car that you dont see fixed up every day. This is why I bought one. Im just curious on what other pepole think of this car

[1990AccordBoy]

well, mine doesnt have airbags, so not really safe. but it is your family sedan.. hence it was best selling car in america 91-93

I think of it as a sporty family sedan that has alot of potentential.

[rickyduckworth]

like all hondas, the aftermarket and hybrid opportunities are there to make it whatever.

to me though, just a nice, solid family car that can be molded into anything

The CB7 is a family car. It was never intended to be a sports car, and it moved more towards a luxury design for the 4th generation model (the 3rd generation was the sportiest Accord made)

They are not sports cars by any means. However, they're a great platform for modification. The suspension is quite good for a 15 year old family car, and the aftermarket is quite healthy. You can make a CB7 handle quite well, and many people are very successful in autocross with modest suspension setups. The F22A engine is very potent and has lots of potential. Thanks to Bisimoto, there is at least one source of very high quality aftermarket parts. There are many good engines that can be swapped into a CB7 to make considerable power, and those swaps are quite possibly some of the easiest and straightforward swaps you can do... to ANY car.
Appearance wise, the lines are classic. A CB7 in really good shape can be mistaken for a much newer car. They're still an older design than anything coming out now, but they aren't "old" looking. There are a few tasteful appearance mods that can be done to make the CB7 look very sporty (though that can easily be overdone... and sadly, often is)

So, sportscar? No. It was never intended to be. Can you make it one? Sure. Do it right and you can still get 30mpg while you're getting groceries... and be able to give V8 powered sportscars a decent run at the same time!

deev, i dont know if youre ever going to read this, but quite frankly, that was the most well said thing ive read in a long time. (unless you did copy + paste) haha. But really, very well put.

A family sedan sums it up well

[deevergote]

Nope, that was all me Rushed, even... I had to catch the last half of House!

I'm just on here WAY too much...

[newjdmdriver]

Wow thanks that answered my question! well my cb7 is a sleeper as some pepole see it. looks like a family car but smashes like a sports car

[palinix]

A practical car that's fun to drive. Honda made sure of that.

[1990LX]

hahha a family car is true. if only the engineers at honda back in 1990 knew that in 15 years, kids (or adults) like us would be throwing in prelude engines and whatnot. i'd love the see the looks on their faces.

[Fatman88]

Althought my daily is far from a sports car I love to see the look on peoples face when the see my sedan pulling on a new v8.


HONDA LOVE!

[kouzie]

whatever it is, i still love it...

[vinbon63]

Deevergote said it best!

It's my gold digger filter.
When chicks see me in my CB7 they assume I have no cash and if they decide to stay with me then I know they don't want me for money.

[newjdmdriver]

lowering springs just came!



I just got my lowering springs in and cant wait to put them in but should I wait till I get a chamber kit or can I still drive the car around with out it for awhile???? also where can I get a front lip for my cb7???? Thanks!
