Honda Accord Saloon 1998-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fairly generously equipped. Fine value considering quality of build and engineering.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Servicing not cheap, but nothing should go wrong. Insurance and economy both competitive.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Highly competent chassis. Holds its line through corners, rides well and involves the driver.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Typical Honda engine; not flexible enough at low revs, but pulls strongly and smoothly from 4000rpm, happy to be extended to the red-line.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems experienced, none expected.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A good-looking car, but unlikely to attract any second glances. More interesting than a Vectra though.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Supportive seats, quiet, spacious cabin and a relaxing motorway cruiser.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    As expected in this class now, the immobiliser makes it very difficult to steal. Effectiveness of locks is OK.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Hassle getting dealer to sort minor problems as condition of sale. I won't be returning there.
