For the 1999 Honda Accord, coupes remain unchanged after their recent overhaul, but the sedans receive new seat fabric, and the LX and EX sedans now feature fold-away side mirrors.

Pros:
  • Good build-quality, spacious interior, peppy engine, and comfortable seats. We call it intelligent engineering.
Cons:
  • Popularity. Bad guys steal them.

    Ive driven this car for 8 years now, and Im gonna trade in for a Lexus. Overall, I think this is a pretty reliable car except for the fact that most Accords Ive see have a transmission problem. However, the design is really nice, and fuel economy is great, but I would recommend researching Hondas transmission problems (98-03) before buying this car. Weve had our transmission fixed twice, which cost 7k, so we decided to trade in.

  • Dont Believe the Hype! - 1999 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased my 2nd accord over 3 years ago with 90k miles on it. My first 92 accord had nearly 200k and the only problem was w/ the cruise control and a rough transmission. My 99 has a faulty transmission thats slipping as well, the lights in my dash dim periodically, cruise control doesnt work AT ALL, the auto locks in my rear doors are now manual, I need new ball joints, i had to purchase an extended warranty for my battery b/c it continuously dies. I must admit that as I am approaching 175k, that car still starts without a glitch, but the "quality" that Honda is expected to have mastered is only hype. This is the 4th Honda my family has had, and the 4th one with transmission issues.

  • My 99 Accord V6 Coupe - 1999 Honda Accord
    By -

    My family has owned many Hondas, all of which have been very low maintaining vehicles, except for a big problem in my 99 transmission. The car used to be my moms. She had to replace the tranny at just below 100,000. Very disappointing coming from Honda, one of the most reliable manufacturers out there and way above German and American made cars. Now at almost 170,000 miles and up to that Ive been noticing the transmission problems again, and just today it went totally out of gear, and then back in after I jabbed the gas a few times about three seconds later. Not been a fun experience driving in fear with this car... possible my driving habits dont help it either.

  • In my opinion - The best car ever built. - 1999 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have had the car a total of 10 years this fall. I have had the brakes replaced 2 times since I bought the car, Ive had the timing belt changed on its scheduled 125,000 mile maintenance, the alternator had to be replaced at 40,000 because of the faulty manufacturer (Honda did not warranty this part.). I have had a lot of worry free driving for many years. I am in the market for a new car but i will be keeping my Honda for as long as it has wheels. I drive this vehicle 500+ miles to Arkansas from Georgia every other month and have felt very confident that I will arrive safely in a car with over 150,000 miles and counting. I am very pleased with this car.

  • 1999 Honda Accord EX- Do not buy - 1999 Honda Accord
    By -

    I recently purchased a 1999 Honda Accord EX under the belief that Hondas were reliable. The car has 83K miles and the transmission slips and oil is leaking into the coolant. I will probably have to replace the engine and transmission. I have contacted Honda who are unwilling to help out. This is my third and last Honda. I mention this issue to others so they do not go through a similar experience.

  • A dream with two flaws - 1999 Honda Accord
    By -

    I like my 1999 Honda Accord EXVS better than any other I ever owned or even rented or borrowed. I wish it got better mileage, but 28 isnt bad for a V6 with this performance. The only real flaw is that it is possible for my wide foot to depress the brake pedal so far that it also pushes the gas pedal. This caused a minor accident that might have been serious. The dealer says the pedal are normal, and act like its my fault, but this should not happen in a properly designed car.

  • A Cracked Engine Head at 107,000 Miles! - 1999 Honda Accord
    By -

    I absolutely love(d) my Accord EX 4 dr. sedan.It was the funnest car I ever drove! It cornered great,it was peppy, reliable. I had the recommended timing belt maintenance done at 105,000 miles, also an oxygen sensor blew then too. Spent $1,000 on that preventive maintenance, only to have my engine head crack at 107,000 miles! I had no warning, no difference driving, but oil and antifreeze were mixing and the liquid looked like mud!! The pressure blew and popped a radiator hose just 4 months later. Cracked engine &I need a used engine put in for $2750, NOT! Needless to say, I am very disappointed and plan to write Honda to demand an answer as to why this would happen on their #1 product-cars

  • Research Hondas...Transmission problem - 1999 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought the vehicle at 84,000 and thought that Honda goes forever. Did regular service at 85,000. Water pump, timing belt, drive belts, a/c belts, spark plugs, transmission fluid, pretty much a good tune up. But to my surprise I noticed and was told by my mech. that I should have researched before buying this accord as it has manufacturing problems with Transmission. Its not even 100K and the transmission is slipping. When you take off, it hesitates from gear 1 to 2. And when you stop, it gives a little jerk before stopping. This is known issue with Honda (98-02). So, research before you buy it.

  • My 99 Accord EX - The car that wont quit! - 1999 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased my 99 Accord EX sedan 3 years ago for a second car. It had about 140k miles on it, and I figured I would keep it a couple of years to get me through a new job, etc. Well it now has 192k miles on it and runs and drives as good as the day I took it home! I have had the timing belt replaced, and installed new front struts. Other than that it has been simple oil changes and no worries. What a great car! It handles and rides beautifully, is comfortable and great on gas too. For the small amount I paid for my Accord I feel like I stole it. I dont even have the desire to get a newer car - that is how much I love my Accord!
