1999 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"The best mid-sized sedan ever, case closed!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front brakes (calipers) went bad at 88,000 miles.
The starter was recalled at 85,000 miles.
General comments?
At 96,000 miles this car handles better and is more reliable than both brand new 2003 and 2004 Chevy Malibu's I have had. The 2.3L V-tec is extraordinarily powerful for a 4 cylinder engine. All I need is a basic tune-up and a front wheel alignment and I'll have a brand new car, even with 100,000 miles under it's belt.
Chevy could never make a mid-size sedan that could ever compare to the Honda Accord. In fact there is no manufacturer that can.
