People say accords are very heavy, how much does a 95 accord ex 2-door weights, are they really that heavy?

 

at least 2800 probably closer to 3000, so yes they are heavy

 

why dont you open your driver door and read the GVWR? (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)

 

Not to hijack or anything, but does anyone know what the weight balance is? I read that the prelude is 63/47, and though 2 door fifth gen accords handle rather nicely it'd be nice to know.

 

it's right under 3k...like 2950 or something if my memory serves me correct..

The GVWR is not the the actual weight of the car, but a total of the car's weight plus maximum allowed weight of passengers and cargo.

 

i had my 95 ex on the scales a few years ago with ac and all that stuff on an empty tank it was 3000 with me in it , since then it should be hovering around 2800 with me in it , soon to be lless

 

keep in mind my ex is a step below your ex (i have no roof abs leather or rear disc/swaybar.

that the only diff

If weight is a concern...don't buy an Accord--Get a Civic!

 

my curb weight is 3200, but i put hella **** in the car.

my 95 ex 5 speed sedan was just a hair over 3k on a truck scale... with gas and full interior... on a truck scale (weighed it a year or so back).

Huh?
1. The topic isn't about 6th gens. It's specifically about a 95 Accord EX coupe.
2. No one said anything about racing.

 

Open your door and check. Its the sticker.

If the GVWR was the actual weight of the car, then my '99 Accord would weigh over 4000 pounds!

</TD></TR></TABLE> its not that these cars are incredibly heavy, its just that the engines are somewhat inadequate, *coughs* SOHC *coughs*. When they should come stock with a DOHC. IMO.

 

It's a family car... Our SOHC engines have more low-end torque than all the DOHC engines available at the time, which equates to better daily-driving. The engines have proved to be more than adequate for anyone not interested in trying to make their Accord fast.

 

I laughed since I gave it to him in the first post

True, but...

I think he summed that up pretty well as to why it doesn't have a DOHC motor.
Accord's were meant to be a nice car that gets good gas mileage. Not be 2300lbs. and have 200hp.
