accord
1998 saw a change in the strategy for the Honda. Three different models were created for different world marketplaces. Now the American versions consisted of only the sedan and coupe. Once again the car grew to its largest size. The coupe was modified to look and sell as a different model from the sedan, rather than being marketed as a two door sedan.
Three different engines were offered for the Accord along with the standard two types of transmissions. The sedan in America was offered in five different trim levels and the coupe in four. Horsepower in the four cylinder model increased to 150 hp with a 2.3 liter engine which was available in the LX and EX trim lines. Later a 3.0 liter engine of 200 hp was used for all V6 sedans and coupe models.
Dealer installed options for the EX-V6 included a gold finish kit, gold finish exhaust tip(s), 6-disc in dash CD changer, car cover, gold finish wheel center caps, sunroof visor and accessory chrome wheels. The humble Accord was now getting fancy.
In 1998 keys were equipped with immobilizer microchips followed in 1999 by the car being given foldable mirrors.
In 2001 both the sedan and the coupe received a minor facelift. It consisted of a new front fascia, side skirt alteration, rear bumper, new wheels designs and new taillights. Depending upon the trim line the cars received either a standard CD player or the 6-disc in-dash CD changer with a cassette player and an automatic climate control. The EX-V6 model also received a traction control system, that the driver could turn off.
Accord had an enviable reputation for top notch reliability, however this changed with the V6 models. Many had transmission failures and class action law suits were filed against the company. This resulted in the company extending the warranties for the 1998 – 2002 models to seven years or 100,000 miles to build confidence back in the brand.
Dennis Dater has been interested in cars since he learned to drive in a 1952 MG TD. He is opening two unique web sites to offer Honda Accord aftermarket parts. Visit him and see the products or read more articles.
