Hello, I am new to this forum but am turning 16 very soon and looking at a 93' Civic Coupe EX. It is in perfect exterior and interior condition with 93,000 miles on it.

The only question I have before I buy it is, how was this year? I have heard from a mechanic I know that this year is a "trouble year."

Id like to know what others opinion on this is and you with this model comment on whether you like it or not.

Thankyou.

 

Well, not sure, but I had a 92 accord ex, blew 3k into it, what a piece of ****.. so i got myself a new civic.

 

well i have a 94 ex, but if i were you i would reconsider and get a dx b/c its lighter.

 

id steer clear of the first year of a gen...my 01 Civic the brakes started having probs at 7k miles...other random things..i dont know how the 5th gens were but thats my experience

 

so do i and i agree, you have to make the descision about whether a small sunroof, cruise control, and power windows/locks are that important to you, b/c youre looking at over 50 lbs right there that is not easily removed. i am too attached to my car now to get rid of it though.

 

Im not really concerned about weight. Im getting a good deal on the EX and what Im really concerned about is reliability because this will be an every day driver.

 

92 was the first year for the 5th gen.

my bro,replicca on this board, just put a blower, JRSC, on his 94 dx with 140k miles. Get the car asp for a badass price..

Its a Honda!!!! You have to really Want to kill it for it to die. For the most part. (2-95 looks sweet I like there bodies. They still go for wuite a bit of mulah so you cant go wron. Everyone knows. HONDA. Plus youll get the M@D VT3CH Yo

 

Yea, I love the way the car looks but this thing the mechanic said was buggin me.

 

Probably a Good ole V8 boy? American Iorn all teh way. ask him about 92's. Get it swap the motor no more worries. Cars dont necisarley die motors do. That motor was used in 92 all teh way up to 95 so if its that year must be 92 and 94 and 95. The point. its a honda. Good stuff and low miles Buy it

 

Its more complicated than that. It is my money but its not my decision. My father wont let me buy it because this mechanic gave him the idea that the 93' is a bad year.

I think they had a few problems that happen to them, which would cost $400 at the most in repairs.

 

I have a 93 civic ex and have had 0 problems with it. there is no flaws or anything with it and love every bit of it.

 

Thats the answer I was looking for.

Did you buy it used and with how many miles?

 

have a 93 civic ex coupe, car had 193 thousand miles on it before i blew the motor and the tranny... about 5,000 of those were race miles... other than that the car is running strong and have not had any real big problems with it! nope to see another coupe owner- gettin out numbered by hatch lovers

 

buy it!!!

 

what?

 

i have a 93 ex coupe. Just hit 204k and she is still ruunning stronger than ever.

 

Buy it, they are reliable! I am looking to buy one too but a 94.

PS: What 1/4 mile times do you EX guys run? My friend's somehow ran a 16 flat with I/H/E, with 204k miles..

 

I have a 94 EX with 165K and its still running like new.......well 3rd gear syncro is shot, not due to car, due to bad driver

 

I'm a happy owner of a 93 Si coupe (that's the Canadian version of the EX coupe) and there hasn't been one problem with mine. My father has a 95 Si coupe and there are minor differences between the two but both our cars have been completely problem free. I don't even have signs of rust on mine — a rarity in areas where they use salt on the roads.

I don't think you'll have any problems with buying it.
