1998 Accord Review Summary & Specifications

Honda's new Accord sets the new standard for mid-size sedans. It's at or near the top of its class in every measure of

a great family sedan. It offers a smooth, quiet ride quality, handling that inspires confidence, and an attractive

interior with front and back seats that are roomy and comfortable. To those ingredients are added Honda's reputation

for quality, durability and reliability.

Not surprisingly, the new Accord is already popular and Honda's sales increased substantially after it was introduced.

Don't look for exclusivity here, because Honda sells more than 375,000 Accords a year in the U.S. And don't expect bargain

prices because this vote of confidence puts dealers in the driver's seat.

Even so, those who buy the 1998 Honda Accord should enjoy many years of pleasant, trouble-free motoring. And those are important qualities for great family sedans.
