1998 Honda Accord EX from North America - Comments

The car would start and then immediately stall and refuse to start up again, almost as if it were out of gas. This was due to a main relay which cost 43 dollars and was easy to replace. But figuring out the problem was quite difficult (members of a car club informed me of the potential fault).

I have an after-market stereo installed and that has caused me to realise how many things in this car rattle.

The car is a great investment. Honda's in general are fairly reliable and the Accord is no exception. The V6 gives it enough power to satisfy my hunger for acceleration. I added an intake system and that gave the car a really nice growl.

Handling too is a plus, although I have noticed that wet weather traction isn't the greatest.

This car, although only 2 door, comfortably holds 5 people, and still has enough power to pull strong uphill.

I have a 1998 V6 EX Coupe and the Main Fuel Relay failed at about 50,00 miles. It was an inexpensive repair and that's the only thing that has had to be fixed so far. (knock wood!)

I bought it as a used car in August 2003 with only 47,650 miles on it for $13,004 cash including tax, license, etc. Love driving it, plenty of power and handles pretty well although I might want to upgrade from the stock 16 inch Michelin's some day. It's also comfortable with plenty of luxury features and is great looking with shiny dark green pearl paint and tan leather/woodgrain trim interior. Paint looks almost black in the evening. Very dependable little car so far. Hope I will be able to keep the car forever. It's the best car I've ever owned.

The j30a2 with any intake just sounds downright mean. I personally like the sound with a short ram intake, particularly the AEM.

Acceleration takes you by surprise. I don't understand how this car could not have sufficient power for anyone else when you can't even press on the throttle too much before the tires eat asphalt.

It truly is a sports car in disguise. Some wider tires would be nice. ;]
