1999 Honda Accord Coupe Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Honda Accord Coupe is not the most common Honda models in our region. It's nice mix of family car and sports car. Acceleration and handling are a perfect mixture of best sides from American, Japanese and European cars. Build quality is HIGH. Gas mileage is in quite nice level, though there is 3.0 litres V6 engine in this car. Service costs are in reasonable level. Fun factor: This car is awesome!Oct 25, 2009

update. 12 years old 308k+ miles - still going strong! hard decision to do 100k check for timing belt and water pump, or save that expense towards a new car (most likely will be a honda) My car is perfect!! William & Angie will agree that the ideal car for me would clean and wash itself!! It is almost 10 years old, I have kept up with most of the maintenance, especially the major stuff. Performance is excellent - at times I am even impressed by its acceleration. Braking and handling are always predictable. You can't beat the quality of the build, no squeaks, and rattles have been easily repaired. One major accident with Bambi proved the exceptional design of the car. Though my air condition compressor was damaged, the car was still safe to drive, though I would not leave it like that. The sleek design makes it look like it's moving fast even when standing still. The interior design may not be superior but it has a few extras like holder for sun glasses and a hidden nicknack compartment - great for spare change. All controls like air, stereo, windows, sunroof, and cruise are within easy reach. Let's talk about fun - 5 speed stick shift!!! What's not fun???? If you don't drive a stick, you wouldn't understand! Feb 04, 2009

This is the best car I've had the pleasure to own, not that I've had an illustrious history of car ownership. Let's start with the driving, it's no Lotus but it will hustle around those corners and hold its line without much drama. The suspension is a touch too soft for real hard driving even though it is stiffer and lower down than the standard four door model. It also doesn't help that none of the V6 models came with a manual transmission (The automatic is pretty supple and obedient). The V6 which is rated at 200 horsepower pulls strong, even at lower revs but really hits its stride above the VTEC line of about three and a half thousand rpm. It's a bit of a lazy and subdued engine but if you listen closely there is a pretty good howl at 4 thousand rpm. Braking power is provided by four disk brakes, which work very linearly but are about as mushy as oatmeal. (6.7/10) Honda's build quality has never been suspect and the Honda Accord really shows it. Everything on the car still works well, none of the materials have become cracked or worn (except for the driver's seat leather).The only problem with the car has been a warped front rotor, which was a pretty easy to repair problem. Other than routine replacements the car has been a doll. (8/10) She's a beauty, probably the best looking car Honda has made save the S2000. And they had to go ahead and ruin it with the ugliest ass this side of the Pontiac Aztek (ok maybe it's not that bad). The rear spoiler on my EX model helps mask the horror but it is an atrocious mess of an odd angle, shape and look. Honda could have had something really special had they patched the gorgeous front end of this car to the handsome back end of that year's Prelude. Between the performance and styling of the Accord Coupe, the Prelude was destined to die out anyway. It is a pretty good combination of grace and style. (7/10) From a practical standpoint the Accord Coupe loses out pretty badly to its four door brethren. Comfort level is high but rear legroom is only good if you are a child of two. Getting in and out of the rear seats is just as awkward. Trunk space is adequate but nothing more. As for gas mileage, it is average. 22 in town and 30+ on the highway was observed, not bad for a 3 liter V6 from yesteryear. (6/10) Above all else, it's a cruiser. It's a little heavy and large to really enjoy on the very technical corners but in the sweeping bends it is a pleasure. Very easy to find a line and hold it. The steering is tight and nicely weighted, when it can keep up. The grip is great with the inherent understeer rearing its head in a very predictable manner. (7/10) I don't think I would recommend this car to a friend, it looks pretty good and it is very well equipped (automatic climate control, leather, premium sound, etc.) and the performance is there. But there are several other cars that can do a better job in all the specific areas this one strives for. It isn't powerful or hard enough to really be considered a performance car, it is also not economical or practical for regular use. And if it were really trying for the cruiser crown, lady Honda would need to take off her top. (Then again, given the choice, I'd take the kinky topless S2000 any day).Dec 10, 2008

This was my second Accord Coupe, so that should tell you something right off the bat. I loved the look of this car from the day it came out, and think it still looks pretty good for being 10 years old. It's the V6, so it makes about 200 HP. It's a fun and sporty drive, but not high performance by any stretch. Still, for being pretty sporty it gets about 30 mpg on the highway, and 23-24 mpg around town, if I behave and don't stomp on it too much. A couple of negatives for the car: The power windows seem to be weak. I have had two driver's side failures and one passenger side. At $600 a pop to fix, that gets old pretty fast. The other issue is that the clearcoat on the roof of the car is failing. Estimate from the paint shop is about $1000 to fix. I have put 130,000 miles on this car in 10 years. I put 160,000 on my first Accord, a 1989 coupe. If you are looking for an affordable, fun to drive, dependable automobile, you can do no better than the cars of Honda. Oct 06, 2008

Performance- accelerates quickly, and has a lot of get up and go. This car is easy to handle. Build- Psh reparing a honda? Unheard of! Appearance- This car is a knock off of the NSX so it has a sleek, and sophisticated body style that is very arrow dynamic. The interior is just as sleek and the controls are simple. Cost of ownership- Meh. Gas mileage could be better, but it does well for a V6. This is a low maintenance car. Overall- This car is attractive to the eye and fun to drive. Jul 04, 2008
