Default Do you find 6th gen accord reliable?

Compared to the 5th gen, what would you say?

See, i have a 94 accord exr coupe 4cyl manual, and i recently bought a 2001 accord coupe ex 4cyl manual.. the 94 had 160 000km on it, now has 225 000, and i got the 01 with 72 000km on it..

I dont know if its me, my way of thinking a 2001 has to be f*cking perfect, or if its simply the way it is, but i feel like my 94 (except the rust) was way better..

For such a young car, the 01 have lots of little body noises (interior plastics), wind noises around the windows and sunroof (more than it should), i feel like the throw bearing (hmm the one with the clutch) is getting bad, lots more noise coming from there..Harder shifting from 1 to 2nd gear (i made the synchro grind two times by shifting NORMALLY but quickly (at 5500 rpm), hey, the car has less than 75k km on it!!! my 225k km 94 exr feels better?!

honestly, What the F*ck!?

Sorry for the language im just really annoyed lol

Oh man. Ive had a 5th gen and it just feels so much more solid. My 6th gen on the other hand, creaks like a ****. I have more probs with my 6th gen than i ever did with my 5th. I have th creaking windows and plastics as well. Only thing bad about my 5th gen was that i didnt have heat. I wouldve froze to death during the winter time. I sure do miss my 5th gen though. I seem to like the feel of the older Honda cars, 95 and down.
