Leather was available on all four years of the 5th gen Accords in EX trim except the EX wagon and leather was standard on the 95-97 EX V6 sedans. I liked the look of the 5th gen Accords and I tried to find one to replace my old 89 Accord but I couldn't find one that was in great shape in my area. I also thought about the 01+ Taurus, but when compared to a 02 Accord EX V6 there was no comparison.
