5. Honda Accord EX-R (CB7, Early 1990s)

The early 1990s Honda Accord EX-R, known as the CB7, quietly set the standard for midsize sedans.
Renowned for its rock-solid reliability and surprisingly engaging performance, the EX-R delivered a smooth ride, responsive steering, and understated style.
Once a staple of family garages across the country, most have faded away after years of daily duty.
But enthusiasts now seek out clean, original examples, valuing their mechanical honesty and classic Honda build quality.
As Jalopnik notes, the CB7 Accord has become a cult classic—rare, desirable, and a true symbol of Honda’s golden era.
