1998 Honda Accord 2.2 iVTEC review from UK and Ireland
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central Locking started to play up, fault fixed at dealership.
No other faults as yet.
General comments?
Performance is decent enough, but I would have expected a little more than 148 BHP out of a 2.2 litre engine, especially a Honda vtec.
The car seems to be very jumpy and jittery and jumpy, and coupled with an unrefined engine and slightly thrashy ride, make driving it to be somewhat unpleasant. It's fairly crammed with extras, however, including leather seats (not very good quality material, doesn't really feel like leather), cruise control, etc.
