Cons Some small issues with back seat size, trunk size.
Recommended it? Yes

Recently we had to replace a used vehicle, so naturally we looked at the list of best used cars available and of course Honda is on the list.  After some searching, we found an EX Accord with V6 that had a recently been rebuilt engine, new transmission, and the owner was mechanically inclined...

Pros Good Value, Handles Well, Great Design

The 1998 Honda Accord has been a great car for me in the 6 years I have had it so far. It gets good gas milage and is relatively cheap maintenance wise, as long as one keeps up on the maintenance regularly. I find the accord to be very durable and hold its value well. I plan on having this car for... Read full review »

Cons None

I have been driving a 1998 Honda Accord LX Sedan for about a year now, and I must say, I have been blown away. It drives and handles like an absolute dream, and has plenty of power to boot. I have the 4-Cylinder model, and even though the V6 is surely much more powerful, the 4-Cylinder w/ VTEC... Read full review »

Pros Comfy, well-made, dependable
Cons Not as sporty as Honda likes to think
Recommended it? Yes

When you leave your car at a dealership for an extended period and get handed the keys to a loaner, you always hope for the best: when Amber said I'd be driving a loaner from my local Honda dealer, I - of course - inquired about the availability of a shiny new S2000. Heck, I didn't even demand... Read full review »

Pros Extremely reliable, quick, perfect and comfortable.
Cons None that I can think of.

Why someone would give a Honda Accord a 2 out of 5 on reliability because one thing went wrong is beyond me. This is a great car as are all Honda products. We have taken it everywhere and you can rest assured we will never buy another American Car after driving Japanese. If American automakers... Read full review »

Cons Clutch feels funny, tire noise, hard to keep clean, slow heater, headroom

Some vehicles look much better than the experience of ownership would validate.

I own an 1998 Accord Coupe,(in fact, it is the exact vehicle pictured on this site) and though it is a head turner, the car is actually a better vehicle than it looks.

I've been driving a Honda since 1990 when I bought my first Civic while in College. Can you believe I still have it with more than 250,000 miles.

Yep, so when I graduated college and went to work, I went out and bought a 1998 Honda Accord EX. I knew for the money, this was the Best Value... Read full review »

This car is a good car. Simply put. It responds nicely, especially when avoiding an immenent object. I was skeptical of the VTEC 4-cylinder engine but after driving the car I've found it to be impressive. This car is a good car, but tall people will find it to be somewhat cramped... but only after... Read full review »

Excellent car. I was not pleased with level of cabin noise, but keep in mind I came in from an Infiniti Q45 luxury sedan.

For the car that we owned, initial acceleration seemed to "hesitate," but we were told by dealer that was normal for this car. Was an irritant for us, but may not be... Read full review »
