Inside Line: Full Test: 1999 Honda Accord EX - More Than a Two ...
Honda's Accord coupe (completely redesigned in '98 and left unchanged for '99) answers the coupe-buyer's call with a healthy mix of pragmatic ergonomics and solid performance wrapped in a stylish shell. Sharing only its headlights, door handles and gauge cluster with the stodgy and unromantic Accord sedan, the coupe projects a crisp and purposeful image while retaining its familial heritage. The EX V6 model comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, leather interior with wood trim, and a four-speed automatic transmission. As mentioned earlier, even a coupe has to offer more than just unencumbered looks. Honda applied its philosophy of functionality when designing the Accord's interior and came up with a roomy, comfortable and ergonomically correct passenger compartment. Highlighting the coupe's practical side are numerous storage compartments scattered throughout the interior. These include a large glove compartment, spacious center console, convenient dash bin, innovative sunglasses' holder and usable door pockets. With this level of interior storage, you could almost describe the Accord coupe as a two-door minivan (but remember, as a coupe buyer, you'd never want to admit to this). Chances are you're probably not buying an Accord coupe just to rub the leather or fiddle with the strangely located sunroof switch. If driving is your primary concern (after appearing young and carefree, of course) than the two-door version of Honda's best-selling car has plenty to offer.

For 2003 the Accord line-up was completely revamped, and while the Accord Sedan looks very different than its previous iteration, the same can not be said of the Coupe. True, it shares much of the new sedan's front-end and interior styling, but the rest of the design seems to take over where the previous coupe left off. It is important to note that for the first time, the Accord Coupe and Sedan are entirely different vehicles. The Accord Coupe is very sleek, rising up like a wedge from the sculpted hood to the tall, rounded tail. A high waistline crease draws the eye to the lower section of the car which features near vertical panels, devoid of any trim whatsoever. While pretty, this may be a hassle as careless motorists will no doubt make short work of this with door edges and shopping carts. The Accord Coupe is more powerful than the previous generation car by 20%, as an extra 40-horsepower have arrived under the hood. A much improved rack and pinion steering mechanism delivers better road feel, especially over irregular road surfaces, and will promote spirited driving, especially now that the car has the legs to perform.
1999 Honda Accord
The Accord Coupe shares all the wonderfulness of the new sedan, but boasts unique styling and some performance tweaks designed to make it more fun to drive. While the previous Accord Coupe looked like a two-door version of the Sedan, Honda designed the 1998 model to have its own identity. Only the headlights and door handles are shared with the Sedan. Indeed, the Coupe is a handsome car, and a good choice for busy executives who want something practical and sporty.
