Honda Accord Saloon (98-03) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1998 The Accord looks no more adventurous than before, but underneath the sleekly anonymous exterior are sophisticated VTEC engines. The chassis has also been revised, so although only the Type-R looks the part, even the 1.8i is a fine drive. And there are now practical hatchbacks, too. As always, overall quality is superb, and Accord is very competitively priced considering all that it offers. 4 out of 5 Other Honda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Safety A four-star Euro NCAP rating places Accord close to the top of the large family sector for its age. Driver, passenger and side airbags are standard on the saloon and hatchback, but the Type-R and Coupe lack side bags. Deadlocks and a rolling code immobiliser mean that drive-away thieves are unlikely to succeed.

Interior is well screwed together - trim rattles are unheard of. Car check problem points Body Very well built with excellent paintwork. Engine/Gearbox Expect usual faultless Honda record.
