We got a '94 Accord LX 4-door 5 spd as a trade in too. I drove it and it is pretty fast. It seemed faster than the CL but then again i didnt buy the CL for speed. I bought it b/c it was different. This had a 167K on it. My dealership wanted $3000 for it tho.. We still have it... I wonder why? lol its fun.. The CL is more fun tho. I love it too much to cheat on the CL.

Well if you work at a dealership why did you start this thread here and at Honda-Tech?

lol, kid relax and use "Edit" next time. Assuming that you do indeed work at a dealership, you or one of the "mechanics" would be able to sum up the fact that there may be a weight difference involved or that your car needs a new driver/tranny/engine
