1999 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Average"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver door windows sticks during cold conditions, even when car is warmed (window regulator, wearing out).
Door handles chrome tape is peeling.
Fuel regulator malfunction at 110,000 miles (rare fluke).
General comments?
Overall, I found this car to lack the power I want or need. The car seems to be comfortable for folks around 5'11", however my wife seems to think the opposite (5'1").
Car noise is excessive, but the ride is smooth.
Parking brake doesn't seem to hold the car without leaving it in gear.
My favorite feature is the sun roof.
Gas mileage is "OK", but this car for me has been terrible to drive in the snow, but adequate in the rain.
Overall, not a bad car, but lacks the necessities I demand in a car. Honda CR-V seems to be a better fit.
