1991 Accord LX 5-speed... Does it have ABS/Traction/Airbags?

[FollowingNFront]

Looking at a 91 LX sedan 5mt...

I would like to know if they came with ABS, or some form of traction control, or any airbags, or any kind of safety feature?

Looking at the car as a winter beater, and would like to be able to predict how it will perform in the snow when compared to my 2006 Accord which has each and every one of those things. I'm not really trying to compare necessarily, but I know how mine is in the snow, and I'd be retiring its snow duties in leiu of the 91 performing them, so I'm trying to at least get a decent idea of how it would do...

Thanks

Atleast my LX doesn't have the ABS or the traction control. It does however have driverside airbag. It's from US so I think it's got same features. I've driven mine for one winter and it is pretty good on snow, but if you have aggressive driving style and always put the gas pedal to the floor then it's not for you. The cars do have 15 years of age difference.

I know Wiki isn't a 100% reliable source of info especially for school work but it is a very good read none the less.

I'm thinking no that you didn't get teh ABS system or a passenger airbag. The only way to find out for sure is if you pop the hood and look for the ABS resevoir and in the cabin for a passenger airbag.

The 91 LX has no ABS, no traction control (no CB had that), and no airbag. Airbags were introduced in 1992 for all CB models.

Hmm... Doesn't the fact that CB7s don't have airbags (at least 90-91) deter people from buying them?

I guess what I'm asking is, how good are CB7s in accidents? Do they protect the driver/passenger good?

[deevergote]

Well enough. They are old cars, made to the safety standards of the time they were built. As safe as many of today's cars? Probably not. Safer than a 1985 CRX? Yes.


A number of our members have crashed. None, to my knowledge, have died (one passenger, may she rest in peace...) Only one driver has sustained considerable injuries, and he has since recovered and has purchased another CB7.
The majority of the injuries I have seen sustained have come from side impact, which would not be helped by any of the safety things mentioned in this thread anyway.

I hit a tree @ 30mph in my dads 90-91 Accord....maroon.

Yea me and the 3 passengers came out in pretty decent shape...the worst injury was a busted lip and some bruises(because the rear passengers were not wearing seatbelts.

These cars hold up GREAT!

Don't let anyone sway you.

If you want airbags just find a 92-93.

93 SE had side SRS.

[deevergote]

It had side too? I know the 93SE has a passenger side airbag...

Deev, are you talking about me?


I'm still kickin' it.

Yessir.

No only the 93 SE had the side airbag.

Wait what did i miss....how the fuck did that happen?

[civic_90_08]

damn ralphie, your almost 2 years behind on the times. lol

yeah, shit sucked, and i couldnt walk for about 4 months...but im back at it headstrong again...sadly my coupe isnt. New coupe should be out this spring or so...

[civic_90_08]

oh yeah, and they started the airbags when they started the wagons in 91 guys. and the 93 Se is the only one that came with the passenger side airbag. lol

[deevergote]

Wagons and SEs had airbags in 91, I believe. The LX and DX did not have airbags until 92.

I'm drawing a blank on when the ABS came in. Was it only 92-93 EX, and 93 SE? Did the 10ae have ABS?

I've only owned an LX and a DX.

No only the 93 SE had the side airbag.

That's what I meant. I knew 93 SE had the passenger side airbag, but are you referring to it having an actual side airbag as well?

hmmm... I don't think I'll find a decent running 92-93 SE for $350 anytime soon...

HOLY SHIT. How did that happen? And how did you get out?
