get a 94-95 EX model definately in a manual, fifth gen autos suck! i had a 94 auto and now i have a 97 manual and i love it. you will thank yourself in the end for getting an EX. i bought and lx when i got my 97 and my 94 was an lX too. sometime i wish i had that 10 extra horsepower, ABS, and a sunroof. the only reason i bought the LX was because it had relatively low mileage as opposed to the other 96's and 97's i looked at in my price range, the paint was in really good condition, and the interior was very clean. the blue book value when i bought it was 7200 and i payed $6250 out the door for it. just look around in the newspaper and on http://www.autotrader.com or go to your local dealers and see what they have. i bought mine at a local honda dealer. and make sure you save for a short shifter because the only downside to the accord manual is the extremely long throw and height of the shifter.

The EX is a lot better just for features because you'll get power windows, locks and the whole bit. If you're planning to really overhaul the car with aftermarket parts then go with the LX if that will make you happy. I for one always have to have the top of the line in everything and couldn't have been happy with an LX.

get the 94-97 EX for sure (94-95 if possible). Not only for the extra power stuff but also fit and finish. The interior fabric materials are much nicer....you get rear discs, rear swaybar, sportiery factory shocks/springs....colored side moldings....etc....

You also get to yell "VTEC BABY" when your feel that massive power surge...

Hey Mr. Topoftheline: The LX has power windows and locks too

Here are the main differences that EX has over LX
-v-tec f22 engine
-dual tip muffler
-Disc Brakes in Rear
-Moonroof
-Leather Interior
-Alloy Wheels
-Side Strip Paint-matched

If you are going to modify the hell out of the car.. go with an LX coupe.
