1999 Honda Accord GTC

The sixth generation Accord is available in new coupe and sedan bodies. A 3.0-liter V6 engine makes its debut in LX and EX models, marking the first six-cylinder VTEC in the Honda lineup. The standard 2.3-liter four-banger is also re-engineered, as is the chassis. And the new interior design creates more room inside than any of Accords competitors., , However, the low price is accompanied by a low level of equipment. Fortunately what is included in the base price is good stuff. The seats are comfortable, front and rear. There is an immense amount of storage and passenger space inside the car. Ergonomics are nearly flawless., , The 200-horsepower 3.0-liter SOHC VTEC V6 is a model of refinement, revving smoothly and silently. Braking and handling are good, the transmission shifts smoothly, and the steering is light and effortless. The car is easy to drive, but doesnt reward the driver much for your efforts. Body roll is excessive and the tires fold over at the first available opportunity when running the Accord along a curvy road. The verdict? Fast, but not much fun. A Japanese Buick Regal but with a somewhat choppy highway ride.
