Honda Accord Hatchback (99-03) - Review

Review by Parkers on
This Accord had a bit of an image problem when it was new. Upwardly mobile middle management types saw it as dull and aimed instead for the lower levels of the 3-Series/C-Class hierarchy. It was shame, because underneath the contemporary - if conservative - bodies is a fun-to-drive, value-for-money executive car - and that's why it's a hit amongst used buyers today.

Comfort

Interior space is only average for a car that's over 15 feet in length, although it's better than the old Accord. Fit and finish are not quite the match of BMW or Mercedes-Benz, but it all feels durable and well built. The cabin is well insulated from wind, road and engine noise.

Practicality

An otherwise adequate luggage space is hindered by the suspension turrets that make loading bulky or awkwardly-shaped objects difficult. A few clever cubbies inside.

Behind the wheel

The dashboard is well laid out with all controls easily to hand. Dials are easy to read. Driving position is adjustable and comfortable for drivers of all sizes. Good all-round visibility.
