1999 Honda Accord S review from UK and Ireland
"Solid build, pity about the engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fitted with wrong Lambda sensor. Only aware of the recall at 18,000 mile service - UK system of recall is appalling. Very hesitant and tempremental 1.8 engine.
General comments?
Very poor fuel economy for a recent design engine, 30-32 mpg.
Tempermental engine - not willing at low revs (dodgy lambda sensor again?).
Very solid build quality, comfortable seats.
Appalling Pioneer stereo/r.cassette. Dash design means stereos have been stolen twice now.
Very poor rear vision in cold weather - no rear wash/wipe, rear heater bars miss vision field, no heated door mirrors.
Quiet to drive. Excellent on motorways.
Low headroom with sunroof option.
Dealer service excellent (full valet, courtesy car) but they missed the lambda sensor recall at the 9,000 mile service.
