Overview & Reviews

Honda redesigns its best-seller for 1998. A 3.0-liter V6 engine makes its debut in LX V6 and EX V6 models, marking the first six-cylinder VTEC in the Honda lineup. The standard 2.3-liter four-cylinder is also re-engineered, as is the chassis. The 1998 Honda Accord is also larger, and the interior boasts more room inside.

• Good build-quality, spacious interior, peppy engine, and comfortable seats. We call it intelligent engineering.

• Popularity. Bad guys steal them.

  Great Vehicle - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Mishuff - November 9 - 10:00 am

  The 1998 Honda Accord is a wonderful vehicle. I love mine and have had no problems with it. I bought it brand new in 1997 as a 1998 year model. It is maintenece free! The gas milage is great, as wel as the reliability, and it is fun to drive.

  Good quality car in its class - 1998 Honda Accord
  By jjyjj - October 28 - 2:00 am

  In general, after little over 5 years of purchase, Im very satisfied with this car. The engine power is still there with no problems at all. Noises while driving is almost same as when first purchased. I was going to trade- in for another car when paid-off, but I decided to keep it for another couple of more years, then trade-in with another Honda or Acura.

  Hondas never quit - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Honda - October 7 - 5:51 pm

  Our Honda Accord is the best car ever! We bought it with 148,000miles and it now has 182,000miles and still pulls strong. Interstate manners at 75+mph are great. It will take off from 75mph and easily hit 110mph with the 4-cylinder. I will not get rid of this car until it dies.

  Biggest Mistake of my life - 1998 Honda Accord
  By razor225 - September 8 - 3:16 pm

  We must have bought the biggest lemon on the lot. 2wks after purchase spent 1500 on repairs. Should have knew something was up then. Needless to say I think we have spent over 6000 in repairs in 18 months. We just had to replace a ball joint and tie rod and front tire. These were brand new tires...this car is the biggest piece of JUNK ever made.

  Love it! - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Thew60 - September 4 - 10:00 am

  This is my third Accord. Cant beat Hondas reliability, quality. The ride is harsher than that of a Camry but a hell of a lot more fun to drive, and the seats are more comfortable.

  98 Accord LX 4-Door 5-spd Manual - 1998 Honda Accord
  By ryoverde - August 21 - 10:00 am

  This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned, the most reliable, plenty of pep, much more than expected, and the dealership is still a pleasure to work with even out-of-warranty. My biggest complaint ever was the sunglasses storage spring broke. Dealership replaced whole *console*, not just spring. Two repairs on master brake cylinder from Honda voluntary recalls, handled by dealership along with other routine maintenance without even having to ask. Planning to drive the car to "death", should be a long while then look into another. Wish I had bought one years ago; they are a tad expensive, but well worth it!

  First Honda - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Hobie - August 8 - 9:49 pm

  Best car ever owned. Powerful 4 cylinder, fast, fuel economy always 30-31 on highway at 75-80 mph. Nothing went out until 215,000 miles-- transaxle failed.

  Hondas the way to go - 1998 Honda Accord
  By JMV - July 11 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Honda Accord new and now have 83,000+ miles on it. It is a fun car to drive, comfortable on long trips or around town. Only maintenance reqired has been routine service checks, some brake work and a new battery after 80,000 miles. In town mileage is about 18 and highway can get up to 30 mpg. Only complaints are wind noise and squeaky moon roof that the dealer just cant quite get a handle on. I intend to keep it until it can roll no more and then will buy another Honda.

  191,000 looks and runs new - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Karen - June 12 - 12:11 pm

  This was my first Honda and it has been the best value purchase I have made in 30 years. Alternator and timing belt changed at 93,000 miles, which is close to the regular scheduled maintenance, otherwise no mechanical issues. Red paint still looks fairly new. We own 2 BMWs and have had problems with starting in the cold weather, the Honda has always started in the coldest Maine weather. I still love to drive this car, no blind spots, comfortable. Reliability is the reason we keep this car even at 191,000 miles. Drive the BMW for luxury!

  Awesome car - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Tman - June 5 - 12:45 am

  I bought this car at 90k and am at 129k now--no problems! I just changed the timing belt. Tran has always been smooth--I heard about probs with this tran early on and flushed out tran fluid (chgd 5 times) to dilute old fluid until fluid looked clean (1/3 of fluid stays in when chging, this is why I flushed it several times--may have been a good investment as still shifts like butter). I started using synthetic oil for 1st time and notice engine and for some reason even the trans runs even smoother--almost identical to a new vehicle! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this car--and is fun to drive, although more comfortable than fun--plenty torque at 85+ mph even with 4cyl.
