Overview & Reviews

Honda redesigns its best-seller for 1998. A 3.0-liter V6 engine makes its debut in LX V6 and EX V6 models, marking the first six-cylinder VTEC in the Honda lineup. The standard 2.3-liter four-cylinder is also re-engineered, as is the chassis. The 1998 Honda Accord is also larger, and the interior boasts more room inside.

• Good build-quality, spacious interior, peppy engine, and comfortable seats. We call it intelligent engineering.

• Popularity. Bad guys steal them.

  Simply the best bang for your buck! - 1998 Honda Accord
  By freddiemac - October 12 - 10:00 am

  Over 5 years now and absolutely zero problems (not that I expected any). Just change the gas, oil, and take it in for routine maintenance and it goes and goes. The steering seems just as tight as when it was new. and I really dont know what more you could ask for from a V4. The interior, exterior, and performance have not lost a beat from the day it rolled off the lot. I could not recommend another car more enthusiastically.

  Why? - 1998 Honda Accord
  By WhyNot - September 22 - 10:00 am

  After owning my trouble-free 98 Accord for almost 4 years, and in the market for a 2nd vehicle, I tried to make myself buy something other than a Honda; once I did the pros and cons of the Accord with everything else out there-when price, value, performance, and comfort do matter-its still the best thing going. The 4 banger is quick, surprisingly roomy-both front and rear for my 50 something, 62" body. Result, there is absolutely no good reason not to buy this car. Honda makes the best, most balanced, family, fun car in the world. Check the data. Why? Why Not?

  Transmission Problems - 1998 Honda Accord
  By fenderkev - July 12 - 10:00 am

  At 69k miles my accord automatic tranny had to be rebuilt. Ive heard alot of incidents of accord auto transmissions needing rebuilding at 50k-90k miles (98-2002)... thats why honda extended the transmission warranty for 2000-2002 (i didnt get so lucky.. if you talk to them right.. they might extend 98s - 99s). If you get this car.. you might want to *possibly* look into getting a tranny cooler as well. This applies to both i4s and v6s. Overall its a good car with a reliable motor :)

  these cars are awesome - 1998 Honda Accord
  By mariceleste - July 6 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Honda Accord EX Sedan last August (2002) and I havent even thought about regretting it since! Because of the fact that Hondas only change their models every 5 years (except for a few minor details that only an owner would notice), and because they age beautifully, my car could easily pass (and has!) for a 2002. Also, it is highly maneuverable and very fuel efficient- itll be up at around 145-150 (not that I would know) without breaking a sweat. Its truly a beautiful machine, inside and out, and I would recommend one to anybody!

  After test driving this car, we fell in love with it. After 110,000 we still love it.

  My Second Honda Accord - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Ralph Lawrence - June 17 - 2:00 am

  This is my second Honda Accord, having owned a 1985 Accord LX previously. This is an excellent car, and I plan to get another one in 2003. The only complaint, really, is the "pitch" of the steering wheel. It was slightly awkward in the 1985, and even with the tilt feature, still leaves something to be desired (Honda should check out the pivot tilt as used in General Motors cars). The "up and down" is not really a "tilt", just a height adjustment. Otherwise, I really prefer the Honda over any other car in its class.

  Reliability with minor complaints - 1998 Honda Accord
  By housencarnut - December 6 - 10:00 am

  Bought car based on reputation of quality/reliability. Past 2 cars were Toyotas. Although not Toyota quality, was pleased with look of interior. Woodgrain dash applique, wood/leather steering wheel and after market white face gauges dress up interior. Added Honda fog lights, trunk lid chrome strip and stainless exhaust tips at half cost of dealer when purchased online. Biggest complaint: durability of paint. When purchased paint was glossy and 22 months later roof and hood have foggy white spots, spreading at alarming rate. Also after washing and drying with 100% cotton towel, paint looks "scratched". Have to wax to remove these EVERY TIME!

  Transmission problems - 1998 Honda Accord
  By wlk - November 30 - 2:00 am

  At 56000 miles the transmission is slipping when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. The check engine light will come on with a code indicating the transmission has a fault. Seems to be a design problem that Honda admitted to in 2000-2002 but not 1998 and 1999. Dont buy one unless you get the transmission checked out. The cost for a new transmission id $4000!!! Ouch!!! I am trading mine in. Hopefully none of the readers will buy it!!! The Odessey with the V6 is having the same problem. I was at the dealer getting mine evaluate and someone was there with the same oriblem on her Odessey.

  I Love my first car!! - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Shortalishus - November 22 - 10:00 am

  I just bought my very first car, a Honda Accord Ex Coupe, and I am in love with it!!!! Accords have always been my favorite car, and now that I finally have one, I love them even more. When I went to look at cars, at first I was skeptical to buy my car because of the high milage (78,000 on a 98). But the engine was immaculate, and the car looks brand new. I love it, and i recommend it to anyone.
