1999 Honda Accord Review
Smooth, comfortable, practical, reliable.
1999 Accord Review Summary & Specifications
Honda's new Accord sets the standard for mid-size sedans. It is a great family sedan, at or near the top of its class in every measure. Accord offers a smooth, quiet ride quality, handling that inspires confidence, and an attractive interior with front and rear seats that are roomy and comfortable. To those ingredients are added Honda's reputation for quality, durability and reliability.For those reasons, the Accord is extremely popular. Don't expect to own the only one in your neighborhood 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 1999 Honda Accord should enjoy many years of pleasant, trouble-free motoring. And those are important qualities for great family sedans.
