1999 Honda Accord EX V6 review from North America
"Maybe I'm lucky, but this has been a great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Outside of routine maintenance, not much.
Replaced battery around 80K miles.
Replaced alternator at around 100,000 miles.
Routine 90K timing belt replacement wasn't done until 161K miles.
Now at 162,500 miles, my transmission is acting up.
General comments?
Overall, I'd say it has been a great car, compared to the others I have had in the past. Will fix/replace transmission and keep going till it dies, which I don't expect for a few more years. After 9 years, I still enjoy driving it!
