Honda Accord - Generation 6 (1998-2003)

HONDA ACCORD (1998-2003)

Essentially the second generation model offered locally, the Accord gains more room and grows big. At its launch, it is available in 2.0 VTi and 2.3 VTi-L until a 2001 update forgone the 2.3 in favor of a 2.0 model of that variant. This would be the last Accord to have a manual, as it was dropped in early 2002.
