Default one better than the other?

i currently own a dc4 integra. but later this summer i would like to look into an accord. they have recently started to grow on me.

key things i want. 5 speed and good potential for a fair about of boost (turbo boost)

i do prefer the 96ish .... 5th gen? well all i know is i like the 96. and whatever other year(s) look like it.

any tips before i buy while surfing the net for parts/specs/etc ?

I'd go with a 5th gen coupe 5 speed. 94-97 is the 5th generation. I personally prefer the 94-95. Plus the stock F22's are good for boost.

94-95 are better IMO...the grill evokes an R32 skyline, the single piece tails (along with those on the 4th gen prelude) are kinda unique for a honda sedan/coupe (MOST are two pieces, part of which are in the trunk lid)...plus OBD I makes boost easier....and dont worry, a bone stock F22B1/2 can take alot of boost if its in good shape

5spd 94-95 aside from better looks its OBDI much easier to deal with engine management when boosting.

funny to see pple liking the grills on 94-95 accords..i hated them. thought honda made a vast improvement on the 96-97's as well with the tails...the chrome trim around the grill and the chrome accents around the rest of the car..

though i did like the stock ex wheels better than the 96-97 ex wheels.

but all in all.. i like the way my 96 looks over the 94-95's..im biased

try making a DIY type r grill out of a 96-97, 94-95's are much easier to deal with. the chrome grill is too blingin for my tastes if i had a 96-97 id paint the chrome black.

OBDI is definitely better than OBDII and the 1 piece tails look cleaner IMO.

'94 Coupe 4 cyl 5 speed boosted all day.
