1999 Honda Accord EX-L review from North America
"A truly amazing family car that is inspires confidence on long trips"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes replaced under warranty.
General comments?
At 80,000 miles I was looking for something to do simply because the car hasn't required any maintenance other than oil change. So I had timing belt replaced and transmission fluid replaced.
Replaced headlights with brighter bulbs soon after purchasing the car. Replaced brake rotors with slotted and drilled rotors, the stock ones seemed to keep warping.
Replaced stock stereo and speakers with nice customized system with 12 disk CD changer.
Slid on ice at work and hit curb hard enough to take the front right tire off it's rim. Took car to out of state Honda dealership and they replaced the brake rotor and c/v joint and a few other things all under warranty and even detailed the car, this was in Augusta Georgia.
Honda dealerships have always been generous to me.
Car is still quick and performs without fault.
Leased the car for 36 months with intentions of trading, but decided to purchase after the lease was up because of reliability.
