1998 Honda Accord SIR review from Hong Kong
"An excellent, affordable car that offers features and performance of vehicles much higher in price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, touch wood, and judging by the accompanying service history from the dealer, little else. Although I have only had this car for a few months, I am well acquainted with Accords (previously owned a 1990 2.0 EX) and this one seems to live up to Honda's high reputation for reliability.
General comments?
In summary, an absolutely lovely car that can be categorized as follows:-
Powerful, blows away most other saloons on the road.
Spacious, certainly a lot larger than my old 1990 Accord for both head and leg room.
Well engineered, not only does the car look great, but components have been well placed for an ergonomic and user friendly touch.
Comfortable, used it for a couple of relatively long journeys without problem.
Quiet, sometimes I could not tell that the engine was on without looking at the tachometer!
