1998 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Fast and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing except that someone tried to break into it with a screwdriver in the keyhole, which I presume is the reason my car won't start sometimes. My mechanic told me that no thief would be able to steal this car because of the anti-theft device. None-the-less, whoever tried to, messed up my security system and sometimes the engine just won't start until I press Lock and then Unlock on the remote, at which point it starts fine.
General comments?
This car is fast, especially when the RPM's get above 3000.
Handling is great.
The leather seats are pretty comfortable.
Sound system wasn't too bad, but I added a new head unit and two 10inch subwoofers.
Gas mileage seems average, probably just because my brother has a 4 cylinder Accord and his does better in comparison.
I would enjoy the V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission.
