1999 Honda Accord Coupe 3.0 vtec

Faults:

Not much.

Battery died (normal after 5 years). Only the type of batteries required for this car are expensive.

Very faint squeaky noise coming from the glove box.

That's a known issue one on this car.

Rattling noise when using A/C. Only perceivable when engine is idling. Technician told me it is within the parameters. If it becomes worse they would have to replace pulley and the belt.

Wear on the drivers seat.

General Comments:

Besides above this car rocks. Fun and save to drive also on longer journeys. The car always behaves predictable and goes were you tell him to go. Even on wet roads. A real comfortable sports coupe. However I lowered the car a little to improve its look and get a firmer suspension.

The V6 engine does an excellent job. Silent at low and roaring at higher rev's. Like a V-TEC engine should do. Consumption on highways is around 10l/100km and in the city between 13-15l/100km and more, but that really depends on the driver of course.

Odd gear shifting when accelerating using the Tempomat.

A manual transmission or at least an semi-automatic would fit this car perfectly.

Quality and finish are on a very good to high level. It keeps up with higher priced models from BMW and Jaguar and gets really close to these.

Women love this car. It's a real head turner and a boyfriend/husband upsetter.

It's so much fun to drive. I really love it and would prefer to keep it.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
