Honda Accord Saloon 2.0i VTEC SE 4d (99) (2000/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Quite good second-hand, as they seem to depreciate a lot from new.
Costs
Very heavy on fuel in normal driving. You can almost see the fuel gauge moving. Also, the car wears out tyres quite quickly.

On the road
Driving
Low gearing makes it feel as if you are travelling much faster than you are and makes you very aware of the engine, but it would not cope with higher gearing. Also, a lot of road noise over most surfaces and a bumpy ride. Not a relaxing car to drive.
Performance
It will only accelerate quickly when revved hard, so you have to use the gears, despite the low gearing and make the engine really scream. Even then the acceleration is not that good.

Living with it
Reliability
I did not keep it long enough to test it.
Image
Most people see them as retired people's cars.
Comfort
The seats are not very soft and there is little room for the driver's legs in the front. I could feel most of the bumps on the road through the driver's seat. My right knee was compressed against the bulge for the automatic window switches in the door.
