Today is the fifth generation of Honda Accord in great demand in the secondary market. No wonder, because this car is fresh and has good design, and is not too expensive. So, what to expect from the buyer a "fifth» Honda Accord? Online you can find many different generations of Accord and modifications, for the first time this model was shown in 1976. Since then, new versions of the machines appear every 4-5 years, and now dealers «Honda» sell quite well already the seventh generation Accord. We are interested in fifth Accord was introduced in 1993 and produced until the end of 1997. This car company «Honda» continued policy of separation of models depending on markets. As a result, the market can be found fifth Accord, designed for Japan, Asia, Europe or the USA. Most critics of the Asian and the Middle East deserve machines designed for operation in hot climates. They may have serious problems with the engine cooling system, even at low temperatures. Although, frankly, the owners of many "Asians" do not see this as okay, because our climate is not suitable for rubber hoses can zamenit.Osnovnoe dignity of American Accord - rich equipment and the availability of a range of options with a V6 engine of 2.7 liters. In addition, two-door car lovers can bring from the states Coupe Accord. The Japanese Accord in the European part of Russia is also not uncommon - the Urals, not to mention the Far East, they generally prevail. But in Moscow, the operation had been brought from America or Japan, cars can be difficult to purchase spare parts, as they have not only some of the individual body parts, but also part of the original suspension parts, brakes, etc. The queue for "iron" Regardless of where manufacture and market the destination "hardware» Honda Accord is almost non-corrosive. Even the "Arab" car calmly endure for several years in our climate. True, over time, from sand and dirt protection worn down in the fender, and then there begins to appear rust. To avoid this, we recommend that after buying the machine to do for reassurance rust. Also permitted are small specks of rust in places adjoining door seals. The presence of other corrosion centers suggests that the car was in the accident. And in this case, the buyer will have to meet with crazy prices on body parts Accord. The service «Honda» bumper for asking more than $ 800 for the hood - $ 500, and a front fender - $ 330. Not surprisingly, the owners of "showdown" of Japanese cars do not suffer from a lack of demand for such items Accord (where second-hand wing is worth about $ 80, and hood - $ 150). And the master is advised to seek "beushnye" branded items, rather than trying to straighten out the old ones (especially if they get crushed much) or buy the "left" iron manufactured in Taiwan. If we talk about the complete Accord, it is very different. But even the simple version of the machine (S or DX) have electric front windows and mirrors. More "advanced" vehicles found on our secondary market often can only be known fabrication LS (or LX), and the most "cool" go with the index of ES or EX. The presence of the standard sound system, present in many Accord LS, should not lead to the delight of the potential buyer. It is, quite frankly, is far from perfect, and even a cheap modern radio for $ 100-150 give a much higher quality sound. So if the tape recorder in the car is missing, do not grieve. All the electrics in the cabin usually works without problems for a long time. But if the winter is often open primerzshie glass can be broken gear in the drive (around $ 60) or even an electric motor ($ 250). $ 1,000 for the suspension of one of the main advantages of the Honda Accord - Chassis. Fifth Accord has a fully independent suspension front and rear, so the car can give the driver a lot of joy. Surprisingly, even at the Russian potholes chassis Accord «lives" for a long time. You could even say that the suspension of the "Japanese" is almost perfect. But it lacks a little, but so important for buyers of used vehicles point - cheap parts. We can not say that the parts for Honda Accord exorbitant price, but experience shows that substantial repairs "killed" the suspension can easily develop into more than $ 1,000. And it is using non-original parts! If the original purchase, you can generally go crazy. For example, only one upper arm front suspension, which comes complete with ball bearing, the dealer's «Honda» worth over $ 300! Well, that sales are very decent quality aftermarket parts for $ 100-150. Some of them are made so that in the future, "ball" can be changed individually. There in the front suspension lower arms and more, but there is a reliance primarily on its own ($ 40-90). Exact resource ball joints and levers difficult to name even the experts working with Honda for many years. However, in most cases, their replacement is required only after 150-200 thousand km. And even the frequently changing stabilizer bushings withstand 80-100 thousand miles! Approximately the same number and are wheel bearing ($ 80-150). The rear suspension is considered to be "eternal" despite the presence of four levers with silent blocks. However, on many machines, with mileage of more than 100 thousand kilometers of this "elastic" crack. Buying a new arm will require more than $ 150. But in most cases with worn bushings, blocks can be driven very dolgo.Glavnoe, we must remember that so far the car, made in the mid-90s, is able to run about 200 km (mileage is easy curling.) So, can happen in such a way that the future owner will have his own expense to change all so tenacious and expensive items. And if the verification of running something to miss, it can be highly disappointed in the Honda Accord. For example, on machines made in Britain since 1996, when worn tie rods will have to change the whole entire rack! Its price in the original version is $ 1,200. Sometimes it knocks itself rake. And usually it occurs when the owners are starting to use is not recommended by a special liquid Honda PSF, and cheaper ATF.Pri buying the old Accord is worth paying attention to the brake system. First, the drives are decent (more than $ 200 per couple and $ 100 for replacement), and secondly, when you replace the rear pads and discs may damage the slide (they sometimes just "sour" with age). Even the cheaper shoes can not be called - a set of original front costs $ 130 (rear slightly cheaper), although parts of third-party costs $ 30-50. We English do not need another strong side Accord - engine. Japanese engineers really have something to be proud of, because the power units of production «Honda» has long been considered among the best in the world. And not only on technical characteristics, but also in terms of reliability. With proper care, they are able to serve more of 500-700 thousand km! And you can screw up the engine, perhaps the only constant participation in races or poor-quality oil. On the fifth Accord established a lot of different engines. The smallest engine capacity of 1.8 liters - these units were given 115 hp, 118 hp or 125 hp Next comes the 2-liter (115 hp, 131 hp, 135 hp or 136 hp) and 2.2-liter engine (130 hp, 132 hp 145 hp, 147 hp, 150 hp or even 190 hp.) There are still 2.3-liter Accord (158 hp), while the American cars, as already mentioned, even installed the V6 of 2.7 liters (172 hp). Some of these engines are equipped with variable valve timing and lift height valve VTEC, but it occurs only on the most powerful 2.2 - and 2.3-liter unit. Sometimes you can hear the engines, issuing less than 130 hp, not suitable for the Accord. They say that with them will not be riding, and mockery. In fact, it is not! Of course, the 1.8-liter 115-horsepower engine pulls are not as good as the 2.3-liter, but for the quiet ride it is enough. So many experts recommend when choosing a machine to pay attention not on engine size, but its overall technical sostoyanie.Pro that the main engines - it's regular maintenance, has already been written. In addition, care must be taken so that the cooling system was filled with fresh and high quality antifreeze (replacement every three years). Timing belt recommended change is strictly every 100 sq km. In general, it can survive and 120-150 thousand km, but if the belt breaks off, the motor will come to an end. His recovery will be fantastic money. Along with the timing belt is best just to install new belts balancing shafts (if any) and all the castors. It would cost about $ 300 (use the best original parts). One of the features engines Honda - they do not have hydraulic lifters. And because of this, every 40 thousand miles must adjust valves ($ 40), and this operation should only trust an experienced professional. On those engines that are constantly working at maximum speed, and sometimes wears cylinder head gasket ($ 60 with the work). But the flow of various glands - a rare thing, and this happens usually after 200-300 thousand km. Of course, there are other types of breakage of failure tramblera, but it happens with all cars all depending on the brand and manufacturer. The most important thing is that some damaging consequences for the budget, they do not carry. One can also note that under the hood Honda Accord established a single 2.0-liter diesel 105 hp Moreover, its creation and production have a British company «Rover». On our roads diesel Accord is rather rare. And, experts say, thank God. Experience has shown that their reliability is lower than that of cars with petrol units, and problems with repair parts and finding much bolshe.Dvigateli Accord often aggregated with a 5-speed manual transmission, although the "automatic" for Accord not uncommon. And both transmission repairers are recognized to be reliable. There is only one requirement: the time to change oil. Moreover, in cars made after 1996, the "mechanics" necessary to fill only corporate "hondovskoe" oil, and the "machine» - ATF Premium (replacement is necessary every 30-40 thousand miles.) By the way, seasoned with oil changes to engine or manual recommends twist off / twist the cork very carefully and better in the garage or service, rather than in the forest. This is due to the above-mentioned problem of weak thread - it is very easy to break. Clutch kit is a 200 sq km, and its replacement with unoriginal require about $ 250 (STO «Honda» will take more than $ 400). When buying a car should look at the anthers SHRUS. If they have at least small holes, necessary to require the seller to discount the purchase of a new element. The fact that the CV joints hondovskie (aftermarket at $ 100-150, original - $ 300) are practically forever, but it's worth tearing the anthers, as has already been through two or three days, they break down. FLASHBACK Honda Accord was first introduced in 1976. First, the model produced in the body of a hatchback and equip a 1.6-liter engine. The following year, 1977 has been shown sedan, and later manned its 1.8-liter engine and automatic transmission. Honda Accord from the beginning were in great demand not only at home but also in America. As a result, in 1980 was sold 1 million of these machines, and the second generation model (1981) have begun to produce not only in the Land of the Rising Sun, but also directly to the New World. In 1983, the second-generation Accord is equipped with an ABS system and the new 12-valve engines with fuel injection. And in 1985, was presented the third generation of the car. It let in the sedan, coupe and station wagon as Aerodeck (sedan in Japan called Vigor). The third Accord have been used the most advanced designs of the time. In 1989 the market entered the next-generation Accord, which was not only the most powerful in the range of 2.2-liter engine (150 hp), but polnoupravlyaemuyu 4WS version with all the pivoting wheels. In 1992, the Honda Accord started to do in the next Velikobritanii.V, 1993 at the plants «Honda» Accord began to collect the fifth generation. The car was equipped with a variety of engines ranging from 105 to 190 hp But polnoupravlyaemoy version of the Accord had been made. In 1996, a restyled model. In 1997 was born the sixth generation Accord (in the salons of European car dealers came only in 1998). Sixth Accord, as the fifth, very different from each other depending on the market. American, Japanese and European cars are not only different engines, look and interiors - they have not the same size and wheel base! With the largest size in the "Americans". On the sixth Honda installed a lot of engines ranging from 1.6-liter (116 hp) up to 2.2-liter capacity 212 hp (Modification of Type R). In 2001, the upgraded model, and in 2003 in a series launched Honda Accord is the seventh generation, which has been completely redesigned. The most modest Accord, this time manned 2-liter engine (155 hp), and the most powerful version (for USA) equipped with a 3-liter "six" to 240 hp (European version of the Type R produces "only" 220 hp). In addition, the Accord is different now manufactured by the fact that the machinery for the Japanese market began to establish a system of movement along the lines of markup. With its help you can never keep the wheel on a flat road! Honda Accord may disappoint its owner only if he will get "killed" the car. Repair costs will be exorbitant - because the cost of spare parts for Honda considerable. However, it should be noted that to bring the Accord «to handle" difficult. This car is really reliable, and can serve as a good host for a long time.
