1999 Honda Accord User Reviews

Great Car — This is my wife's car. We have always loved it. It is a 4 cylinder, but it has enough giddy up to get you where you need to be. We have kept up with the usual routine maintenance, and are very pleased. It has been a relatively inexpensive car to own. The gas mileage is very reasonable and is very dependable.

Best Little Honda In Virginia! — update. 12 years old 308k+ miles - still going strong! hard decision to do 100k check for timing belt and water pump, or save that expense towards a new car (most likely will be a honda) My car is perfect!! William & Angie will agree that the ideal car for me would clean and wash itself!! It is almost 10 years old, I have kept up with most of the maintenance, especially the major stuff. Performance is excellent - at times I am even impressed by its acceleration. Braking and handling are always predictable. You can't beat the quality of the build, no squeaks, and rattles have been easily repaired. One major accident with Bambi proved the exceptional design of the car. Though my air condition compressor was damaged, the car was still safe to drive, though I would not leave it like that. The sleek design makes it look like it's moving fast even when standing still. The interior design may not be superior but it has a few extras like holder for sun glasses and a hidden nicknack compartment - great for spare change. All controls like air, stereo, windows, sunroof, and cruise are within easy reach. Let's talk about fun - 5 speed stick shift!!! What's not fun???? If you don't drive a stick, you wouldn't understand!

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Basic Is Good... — 31+ mpg. The manual states a 7500 mile service interval but I change oil every 5000. Simple to replace headlights and taillights, not so simple to replace turn signal lights. Smooth and forgiving 5-speed manual transmission. Good build quality -- no rattles; a small squeak in the driver's seat; easy to dent and tear body panels and bumpers; solid "thump" when you close the doors. Exterior styling is a bit bland but not dated. Wish a more luxurious interior was available when I bought the car, but the ergonomics are good. Easy to drive, easy to park.

A Good Investment And Reliable Vehicle — Everything on this car works well except for some of the electrical parts such as door locks and a couple dash lights. It gets good gas mileage and always gets me where I want to go. I have never run it hard so for me, it's not fun as much as it's practical

A Good Midsize Sedan — I have always liked the Accord model and have had good past experience with Honda so when I decided that I would like to buy a sedan with good aesthetics, performance and reliability the Accord was pretty much a "no-brainer". I have been nothing but happy with my Accord. I also chose the Accord because I knew there are alot of aftermarket parts availible for it so I could do alittle customizing and make it "My Accord".
