Well I have a 96 and I love it. The only disadvantage I can think of is it is OBD2, which does not respond as well to mods as the OBD1, which is before 96. Other than that I have no problems with mine and love it to death.

it is a big of a deal, off course you can change it, but then you have polution controls and blah blah blah, plus a switch from OBD2 to OBD1 can be expensive

No pollution controls so far in Canada, at least not in Quebec, but it could happen in the next few years.

ive had a 95 and a 96 id get the 95 twice if i could do it all over again the 96 is OBD2, its actually heavier than the 94 95's, the taillights are ugly, added pointless interior effect, the damn center cupholder is inserted backwards, UH did i mention its OBD2?

ive seen alot of 94,95 EX 5spd coupes in PA and FL get one shipped or take a road trip i went to arkansas to get mine.

Hehe...with that black color strip going all the way around them, they always reminded me of a black eye. Anyone else think that?

Umm that probably wont work. I tried swapping to OBDI in my 97 Accord and I had all kinds of problems. I got the conversion harness and the correct ECU and the car would barely idol let alone run right. I dont recommend it.

You should've just kept looking for a 94 or 95 accord. They are better than the 96-97 accord in looks and performance wise. Those tailights in the 96 and 97 make it look ugly damnnnnnnnn. I have a 95 accord ex and i'll take that car over any 96 or 97 accord peroid.
