Pros: Used car that is reliable and inexpensive to operate.
Cons: Some small issues with back seat size, trunk size.
The Bottom Line: For it's intended purpose, good choice among several. Would buy again if similar model was found.
Recently we had to replace a used vehicle, so naturally we looked at the list of best used cars available and of course Honda is on the list. After some searching, we found an EX Accord with V6 that had a recently been rebuilt engine, new ... read more

Cons: None
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a great sedan that is an excellent value for your money and drives like an absolute dream, the 98 Accord is the way to go!
I have been driving a 1998 Honda Accord LX Sedan for about a year now, and I must say, I have been blown away. It drives and handles like an absolute dream, and has plenty of power to boot. I have the 4-Cylinder model, and even though the V6 is surely ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth ride, real sports car handling, good seats, cost of operation! interior space
Cons: Clutch feels funny, tire noise, hard to keep clean, slow heater, headroom
The Bottom Line: Although Honda has slipped a bit lately, the Accord offers one of the lowest cost of operation, while providing one the highest levels of driving enjoyment.
Some vehicles look much better than the experience of ownership would validate. I own an 1998 Accord Coupe,(in fact, it is the exact vehicle pictured on this site) and though it is a head turner, the car is actually a better vehicle than it looks. ... read more

Pros: Good performance, handling, value for the money (LX-V6), great interior ergonomics, resale value.
Cons: Tight rear seat, cheap wheel covers, no break-away mirrors, LX-V6 lacks 5-speed,dismal reliability.

The Good After buying used 3 Accords, a Prelude and an Integra in the past, buying a new '98 Accord Coupe LX V-6 was an easy choice. The car is great on the highway - it has good acceleration, a smooth ride, good handling and a very strong engine, ... read more

Pros: Solidly built, great reliability and good mpg.
Cons: Cabin could be quieter.
The Bottom Line: Can't go wrong if you're ok with ride and noise level.
Excellent car. I was not pleased with level of cabin noise, but keep in mind I came in from an Infiniti Q45 luxury sedan.
For the car that we owned, initial acceleration seemed to "hesitate," but we were told by dealer that was normal for ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No
Pros: Styling, and overall best looking coupe in it's class
Cons: Expensive problems (Moonroof gets stuck, transmission breaks)
The Bottom Line: The 1998 V6 engine was brand new. After 3years transmission problems are among many problems that have surfaced. Don't play russian roulette. Buy a newer model.
When Honda came out with the new 200hp engine in 1998 all Honda lovers cheered. Now 4 years later when they have been put to the test there is now evident, a serious problem with the transmissions. I have gone to other web-sites and heard the same ... read more

Cons: Cramped driver's seat. Not very distinctive. Expensive used car.
The Bottom Line: Well engineered car.

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No
Pros: powerful, turns on a dime, looks good
Cons: not very comfortable to drive, small, cheap parking break
The Bottom Line: Ultimately, I do not recommend this car at all. It seems that what is important was overlooked in the making of this vehicle.
Just to tell a little story. I drive a 1993 Toyota camry. It was an option for me this past year to sell my camry and get this 1998 Accord. I stuck with my camry. Even with all the miles and everything.
Basically the only good things I see ... read more

As soon as I saw the flamenco black pearl V6EX coupe with the honda bodykit, spoiler, floormats, exhuast tips and black chrome emblems, I knew I had to buy it. This was back in June of 1998 when they craze to get these coupes were intense. I rolled off ... read more
