I found that this car is one of the best all around cars on the market.
It comes with a good amount of power, but can also seat 4 and still be comfy.

I agree - the 90-93 Accords (I've had 2) are excellent runners - and I am *brutal* on my cars, so that's high praise. I experienced all the above listed failure points except the brake squeaks (I use metallic pads - no squeaks!) and the head gasket - both have been OK on mine. My failures were a radiator, heater knobs, door handle plastic and the antenna stopped working (I think the inside cable is stripped - motor still works great). I also am having random issues with the motor controller box, but nothing serious. Finally, my CD player (the one sourced thru Alpine by Honda USA) lost its lights so I can't see what's up, but it still works functionally, and the radio 'flick up/flick down' volume control failed - they gave me a new radio under warranty with a conventional 'turning' style knob and all has been OK since. I have put more than 250,000 combined miles on these Accords and I am *still* driving a '93.
