Whats My Car???

[Westron]

sorry, i couldn't find a section that was specific to this question, so i just chose the first one. I'm having a problem figuring out what Accord I have, whether it is the DX/EX/LX models. What are some dead giveaways? I just got it and the rear is badgeless. Thanks for any help. Oh, and it has the F22A1 engine so I know that rules out one, can't remember which though.

What year is it?

Do you have power windows and lock and a sunroof?

[mtnbikaah]

painted bumpers is the easiest, painted= LX or EX

[RyderzUnlimited]

your car depends one weather is has. sunroof, electric windows, and so on.

if your car has manual windows, its a "dx"

if your car has electric windows, but no sunroof, its an "lx"

if your car has electric windows, and sunroof, its an "ex"

if your car has electric windows, sunroof, and leather, its an "se"

There should be a post on here explaining the differences. I'm sure if
you search you will find something.

WELCOME.

90-91 DX ( F22A1 )
90-91 LX ( F22A1 )
90-91 EX ( F22A4 )
91 SE ( F22A6 )

92-93 DX ( F22A1 )
92-93 LX ( F22A1 )
92-93 EX ( F22A6 )
93 SE ( F22A6 )


...I think.

[Westron]

The car is a 92. The car has electric windows and locks, but from what i was told the sunroof is aftermarket. its just a manual push up sunroof, no power. thanks a lot for all the responses

[JoshM]

Then it's an LX.

[Accrdwgnguy]

91 Ex wagons also had the F22A6

Otherwise correct josh

Also a cb with leather and a sunroof isn't always a SE, it could just be a EX-L. (EX with leather)

[MikeW]

They made EX-L CB7s?

[Accrdwgnguy]

They made EX-L CB7s?

Sure there's plenty of EX's out there with factory leather. Seen a factory leather 91 EX coupe myself recently

i couldnt quote it but here is how to find out

[NWaccord]

Sounds like an LX

[4GAccordH22]

Sure there's plenty of EX's out there with factory leather. Seen a factory leather 91 EX coupe myself recently

The only CB7s that came with FACTORY leather are the SE's. Any other CB7 with leather was a dealer install or aftermarket. Most of the USDM options were actually dealer installed items, not "factory".

But yes, to the OP, your car is most likely an LX with an aftermarket sunroof. You should post pics!

[deevergote]

No power sunroof, it's definitely aftermarket.


Your car is an LX, without a doubt.
