1998 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Reliable, fun, and roomy... what more could you ask for?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems with my accord have been very minor.
Several weeks after purchase the ventilation diverter door stuck and was replaced under warranty.
The drivers side door frame developed some rust under the gasket.
The OEM CD player has alot of trouble with CD's made on a computer.
General comments?
The Accord has been a joy to drive and own. I bought it because it was supposedly reliable and refined; I have not been disappointed. In the 6 years I have owned the vehicle, I have never had to put anything except regular maintenance dollars into it. Although slightly noisier in the cabin than I wanted, most of the noise disappeared when I replaced the manufacturer supplied tires. The trunk is huge and the backseat is generous for a coupe. I would buy this vehicle again in a heartbeat.
