Thinking of getting a wagon for the family car/commuter. What was the last year they made the Accord wagon? Any pro's/cons? Differences between engines/models? Also, did they make a 5sp w/VTEC?

 

1997 that year it was vtec auto only.

Cons: Weight

Pluses: can do your girl in the back

1994-6 wagons are auto or manual

Of course the big plus of a wagon is the hauling capability. You don't have as much room as a van or a minivan, but more than a regular sedan. Plus chicks dig men who drive station wagons.

Other good wagons that are offered in 5-speed manual transmissions are the Volkeswagon Passat, Suburu (not sure, the Outback?), and several different Volvos. Basically, if it's a US model (e.g. Ford Taurus) it's automatic only, if it's an import it's offered in both manual or automatic transmission.

By the way, if you are looking for something a little different, check out the Mazda5 (new for '06). It's sort of a micro-van. Seats 6 and you can get it with manual transmission.

 

Wagons are ub3r z3xy

 

I'd hate to see what your gf looks like if you think station wagons are sexy.

 

For a station wagon they do look very good though

 

that was a joke in case you guys were wondering, but yeah I guess everyone has different taste. I personally would never drive a station wagon though, reminds me too much of the 70's & 80s ...an era which contained some pretty ugly wagons! lol

 

Pro's> Gas Milage, Reliability, fairly easy to maintain. Good baseline motor for upgrades.

Cons> Theft, Drivers window gets lazy at times (but thats with all 94-97 Accords). 130 hp.

Highly recommended car.

 

IMO the 90-93 wagons are MUCH better looking than the 94-97. As for performance, someone quoted the 94-97 as having 130 HP

....there it is.

But the 90-93 wagons all (if I'm not mistaken) came with the F22a6, with 140 HP. Right?

psssshhh I can do that in my sedan but there was a CD5 wagon that was in Import tuner..the guy turned it into a convertable...it was hella sexy...........yeah

 

I believe that all of them came with the 2.2L Vtec version which is rated at 145hp

 

EX wagons came with the same engine that the same year EX came with...same with LX wagons.....

In europe and japan, they kept making the station wagon accords, but never brought them to north america.

 

Accord station Wagon from 1997 to 2001.


Accord station wagon from 2002 to 2005.

 

that 2002-2005 wagon is really nice looking..

is it VTAAAAC?

 

i am willing to bet its got the same k24 in it that other accords from that time do, as well as maybe a v6 model.

the onr i would wnat is a 98-02 SiR wagon with the h23vtec and AWD (though its an auto, but thats ok for a daily driver).

With a comment like that, this is probably just going to **** you off...

 

sorry I should have qualified my first answer with IN the USA since the OP appears to be in Sanfransisco CA

 

I just picked up a 95 ex wagon, do the high theft rates of the sedans carry over to the wagons? Theft was one of the things that had kept me from buying a Honda for a long time.

It's a two way street, because most of the parts are interchangeable except after the rear seats. I've got a 95 LX in manual tranny and it's great. Pics are up on Accord Wagon Club USA
