Used 1998 Honda Accord Sedan Consumer Reviews
Completely fine handing it over to my 16 year old
This vehicle is astonishing to me. I never thought I would say this, but the vehicle has actually worn me out (in a good way). I've driven it 220k since I purchased it 6 years ago. Simply put........it never stops or breaks down. It's never broken down. Never failed. Never not been perfect. It's unbelievable. Granted, I have taken really good care of it, but still!! What's even crazier? I was rear ended REALLY hard on the freeway a few years ago. The other vehicle (mid-sized newer model vehicle) was crushed. Radiator blown, engine in the passenger seat, front doors crushed. The other driver had to get out through the back door. Wanna know what happened to the Honda? nothing. literally NOTHING. A scratch across the bumper and I had to re-install the rear-view mirror. I'll miss this car, but life requires changes and it'll be a good car for my 16 year old.

ACCORD EX 4cyl
Styling still looks good in and out after all these years. Good handling car, though has excessive road noise that penetrates the cabin especially on rough surfaces, not a problem on our same year (98) Toyota Camry , also not as reliable so far with 98000 replaced egr sensor @ 62000, cat converter @ 80000, & just recently replaced cv joints, will soon trade for a Toyota

Never Again
I bought a '98 Honda Accord LX a couple of years ago, had regular service to it and it was great up until recently. The air conditioning knobs on the dash break off easily, and also the catalytic converter went out. All before it even reached 100K on the odometer! When I had to take the car in to have the catalytic converter replaced, there were FOUR other Honda owners there, ALL of them were 1998 Accord LX models, and they all had the same problem w/ the catalytic converter. As a result, I'm having to spend yet MORE money in repairs that should have otherwise not been an issue in such a reportedly reliable car. Will NOT buy a Honda Accord again.
Great used car!
I purchased this car as a last minute decision. I had a new Pathfinder and decided that the SUV was not for me. I'd owned a '95 EX Coupe and was not happy with it. I swore that I would never purchase another Honda. So I needed a car fast and a used Accord was almost a no brainer. I've been very happy with this car. There have been some minor repair issues here and there. I keep it maintained and it has been good to me. I only wish that the car was better on gas. Otherwise, it has been an excellent used car! How often does anyone say that about a used car?
Love the car
Awesome car, everything you expect from a Honda. I drove it for almost 2 years and had absolutely no problems with it. Love everything about it. Gas millage was significantly noticed when upgraded from a 4 cylinder. The feel of the car when you drive a v6, was well worth it though.
