1998 Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan review from North America
"Best looking, most reliable car made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced alternator twice, may be due to my stereo.
General comments?
My parents bought this car as a demo car, so it had about 10,000kms no it. I got it at about 170,000km 2 and a half years ago and it has been awesome so far. I lowered it 1.5 inches, CAI, Magnaflow cat-back, rims, systems and a few other things and it is still rolling strong. The transmission is original and good considering we know about the horrible falure rates known for the V6's. The 6th gen is the best gen of the Accord ever made. The paint looks brand new and no one ever believes me that it is 10 years old. This car is quick and sounds mean with the intake. I would recommend this car to anyone, but beware of the known transmission problems.
