Honda Accord Saloon 2.2 Type-R 4d (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought second-hand so very good value. Even 31mpg for a car of this type is excellent.
Costs
Minor service costs reasonable, nothing else needed.

On the road
Driving
Holds the road excellently for a FWD, although it would have been nice to see AWD option.
Performance
Breathtaking. New Piper CAMs give the low/midrange a good kick and then 'Banshee' (DOHC V-TEC) kicks in and leaves most cars standing.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems as yet.
Image
Subtle compared to Evo and STi, but still very aggresive. A real head turner.
Comfort
Recaros... need I say more?

Security
