Is my '90 Accord worth it?

How do you figure that? The 4th and 5th gens were mechanically the same (for the most part) Furthermore, some of the bugs that plagued the 4th gen (such as in the inition switches, distributors and Main Fuel Relays) had been pretty well worked out in the 5th generation. I do prefer the 4th gen body style and interior to the 5th gen (even though I own a 5th gen) but style is a matter of personal taste, so the point is moot. The 6th gens had some problems with the auto trannies (carrier bearings) but were otherwise just as good.

The Gauge cluster is set up the same(unlike the 5th gen which is completely diffrent). Given the diffrences in the 5th and similarities of the 4th and 6th basicly the 6th is an updated 4th.

The reason Honda does this so you can recognize the car as an Accord but the 5th gen is like the step child of the Accords atleast from the 3rd gen to present, it doesn't look like any of them but is still a nice car to own
