Super rare LXi fuel-injected Accord coupe.
5-speed manual!
I just had the car aligned, put new rotors and pads in the front, and rear brakes shoes. New battery, new alternator, as well as new shock and springs.
It runs and drives great. No leaks. The Interior in great shape.

Those, and the “mini NSX coupe” ’98-02 version, are my favorite generations of Accord in the looks department.
I bought a ’92 Civic 5 speed hatchback fresh outta college (my first new car ever) and I gotta tell you that it was one of the best driving cars I’ve ever owned. That manual gearbox combined with a low seating position made it an incredibly satisfying driver. If this generation is anything like the subsequent one this car should be a joy to drive.
