HONDA ACCORD (1998 – 2002)本田雅阁(1998欧元Â"2002)
Given that we?ve already supplied you with a huge clue, there probably aren?t too many prizes for guessing which Japanese car features a coupe variant built in Ohio and a saloon and hatchback range hailing from Swindon.鉴于我们?你已经输了巨大味线索大概西哈莫尼?笔猜奖太多了日本车的特点,在俄亥俄州建成了采伐变种球馆、海陵hatchback射程从辰. The Honda Accord is a car that for many years had an image as something of a granny chariot, but the fifth generation model, built from 1998 changed all that.本田雅阁轿车的是,多年来曾形象看成一种战车奶奶、但第五代模式,从1998年建成,改变了一切. Here was a car that was dynamic, good looking, practical and as reliable as a Swiss watch.这里是一辆被动态、好看、实用、可靠的瑞士手表. Used Accords are one of the best buys around ?协议是用来购买大约一个最好? so well built they?ll rarely let you down, but not so much in demand that values have gone through the roof.他们建这么好?当地很少让大家失望了,但与其说是价值观的需求经历屋顶. Well, not in the most part?好,不部份?
HISTORY历史
It wasn?t until the fifth generation Accord arrived in 1998 that Honda really had a full-sized class competitive car.它.其余?笔直到第五代协议,于1998年来到本田真有一个完整型轿车竞争阶级. Before that Accords had either been too small or too soft and with Korean budget cars eating into that market, the Accord had to shape up or ship out.此前协定遭太小或太软,韩国车预算,蚕食市场协议已形成了以船舶或列. It shaped up.它塑造了. In Summer 1998, the Coupe was replaced by an all-new US-built model with 2.0-litre four cylinder and V6 powerplants.98年的夏天,被采伐全新美建筑模型2.0公升4缸、V6导发电厂. The saloon range meanwhile, was replaced by an all-new Swindon-built model line-up in October 1998.球馆的射程,改为全新馆内建成示范列队1998年10月. This, by far the best Accord incarnation yet, offered buyers the choice of 1.8 or 2.0-litre petrol engines, plus a rorty 2.2 in the potent Type R performance variant, which reached the UK early in 1999.对此,至今最佳替身协议,但买家提供了1.8或2.0选择公升汽油引擎另加2.2罗蒂的烈性表现变异型住宅,其中英国早在1999年达成. Later that year, trim designations for the entire range were changed and five-door hatchbacks became available, matching most saloon versions model for model.当年稍后,笔挺的番号全部改为五门厢型车成为可大多数球馆示范文本模式匹配. However there was no Type-R hatchback nor was there a saloon equivalent of the luxury Type-V hatch.但是没有任何R型hatchback也有同等的豪华球馆型五舱口.
2001 saw a mild facelift for the Accord range with the amount of models available pared back to simplify things for the customer.2001年一个温和的整容与协议金额范围,或是回型号为简化事物顾客. That staple item of facelift targets, the front grille, was altered, with a revised ?H?整容对象是大宗项目,前方花砖,改写了修改?八? badge and a smarter finish in gunmetal grey.徽章、聪明说完gunmetal灰色. The other facelift favourite, the bumpers, were also made deeper, giving the impression of a lower, sportier car.其他整容喜爱的保险杠,也作了深入,给人一种较低sportier车. The rear light covers sport some rather odd horizontal white highlighting.后方灯罩体育运动一些比较突出白色卧式多. The interior also came in for some minor fettling, with improved seat fabrics and reshaped cushions, a grey metallic instrument binnacle and some improved quality trims and grains.内政部也来凑热闹,在一些小补,以改善和整合咕座位面料、灰色的金属工具binnacle一些涉及谷物品质改良.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
This is a car with a disparate range of objectives.这是一种截然不同的车程目标. It needed the class to compete with BMW and Audi, yet be priced to sell in Ford or Vauxhall volumes.它需要的阶级竞争宝马和奥迪,但福特在定价出售或狂暴卷. It required the cabin space to cope with a family, yet the compact looks of a sports saloon.太空舱所需应付一家,但紧凑的体育风貌球馆. And it also needed sufficient character to charm the enthusiast without irritating the older buyers who have bought so many Accords in the past.同时也需要足够的人格魅力的爱好者无刺激性老买家买这么多,在过去协议. Given this starting point, you'd expect a compromise in all three respects, particularly from a car which can afford to offend nobody.由于这个出发点,也不逊色妥协所有三个方面尤其是从一辆汽车中都得罪人. Older Accords were always this way, usually inspiring nothing more than ambivalent feelings amongst potential owners.旧协定总是这样,通常不外启发潜能业主之间矛盾心情. You couldn't think of a single reason not to own one; but you always ended up buying something else.你想不出任何理由不为自己;但你总是落得买东西.
The fifth generation car is very different.第五代汽车是非常不同的. The previous model looked handsome in a bland kind of way, but modifications to the styling of the current version gave it a little more presence.以往显得英俊平淡示范样地但修改了现行版本的造型给一点风貌. Make no mistake, it?s still not going to worry an Audi A4 in the visual impact stakes, but the overall look is subtly effective.不要以为?收盘仍然不会担心,奥迪A4规定在视觉冲击利害,但总体看,是巧妙有效. Still, it?s possible to see where economies have been made in order to bring you the much-vaunted engineering prowess.但它?看看那里的经济可能已为你带来了备受赞誉的工程实力. The S, Sport, SE and Type-R models feature Panasonic RDS cassette tuner units, which probably won?t impress buyers who?ve dug deep for the Type-R.科技、体育、硒、R型卡式调谐器型号专题松下铁路单位这可能获胜?笔使买主是谁?为开凿深味型住宅. SE Executive and Type-V models get a superior Bose CD system.硒行政型模式得到上级五百色影音系统. As befits a Honda product, the changes to this Accord under the skin were more than just superficial.由于产品适合本田、本协定下的变化都只是表面的皮肤. There?s a 2.3-litre four cylinder engine for the plush Type-V model.?收盘了2.3公升4缸发动机的长毛绒型V模型. Plus revised gear ratios for the 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre models in order to boost acceleration.再加齿轮比率调整为1.8-2.0公升公升型号以增加加速度. And chassis revision to all models (bar the already excellent Type-R).修改和底盘各型号(律师已经大好R型). The interior still lacks a sheen of coherent design and the exterior styling won?t turn any heads.内政部仍然缺乏连贯的光泽和外观造型设计赢得?任何首长转笔. Get beyond this and the Accord starts to rack up points.这一协议开始打滚、货架点. As Honda?s advertising stresses, the engines are the stars of the show here.作为本田?收盘广告讲,引擎是明星的表演. If you place mechanical excellence above glitzy showroom appeal, a used Accord could be just your thing.如果你在上述机械英才看上去陈列室上诉,只可以用你的协议.

Insurance for the 212bhp Type-R is pretty stiff, rated as it is in group 17.保险为212bhpR型是苛刻的,它被评为A组17. With the rest of the Accord saloons and hatches generally rated between insurance groups 11 and 15, they?与其他协定之间的发廊、舱口一般保险集团评为11和15,是谁? won?t command huge premiums.获胜?指挥笔巨额保费.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Look for a bargain, look for accident damage, but don?t expect to find too many Accords with inherent faults.找便宜,寻找意外损坏,但鲍思?笔指望找到太多符合固有缺陷. These are well engineered cars with an impeccable reliability record.这些都是绝佳的可靠性和工程车的纪录. The only word of caution would concern the Type-R model many of which have spent time lapping the country?s racetracks as track day cars.唯一要关心的提醒一句型住宅示范研磨其中许多国家已用时间?当日收盘轨道车作为赛车. Check the tyres, suspension, oil, clutch and brakes on a suspected weekend warrior.检查轮胎,悬挂油、离合器、刹车就怀疑周末勇士.

A radiator is about £180, and a starter motor around £280.约180英镑的散热器、起动马达280英镑左右.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Late Accords all have an enviable reputation for being good to drive.已故协定都有一个令人羡慕的好名声驾驶. Even the base model 1.8S boasts a 136bhp engine and Honda never let the fifth generation car?s weight build up enough to dull its wits.即使拥有136bhp1.8s示范基地和本田发动机再让第五代车?建立足够的重量黔沉闷. Chassis revision to all models (bar the already excellent Type-R) were visited upon the range in the 2000/2001 facelift, designed to engineer in a flatter yet more pliant ride, a by-product of which has been improved steering precision.底盘修改所有型号(律师已经大好R型)在被访的射程2000/2001改版,设计工程师在谄媚更屈伸坐,一个副产品已转向提高精度. The detail changes even went as far as rear brake pads compounds - which were modified to combat brake squeal at low temperatures.更详细的变化竟然后方刹车皮化合物--被改装为打击刹车声响低温.
The stereotypical Accord customer of old probably won't like the Type-R sports saloon model either - but that won't stop Honda from selling every one they can build at Swindon, Subaru Impreza notwithstanding.给予客户的刻板大概不会像旧型住宅示范房体育-本田不会停止,但我们每一个可以卖兴建辰、尽管富士impreza. Here, a 212bhp 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine rockets the car to sixty in 7.2s on the way to 142mph, to the accompaniment of a banshee wail from the motorsport-tuned VTEC engine.在这里,一212bhp2.2公升四缸引擎火箭车在7.2s至60月142mph方式,哀泣的伴奏下,从一个banshee驾驶调谐总量的发动机. Inside, there are body-hugging Recaro seats, a Momo leather steering wheel, white-faced instruments and a titanium gear knob.境内有身体拥抱recaro席,莫莫皮革方向盘,白色面文书、钛齿轮旋钮. Outside, there are wide alloy wheels, a heavy bodykit and the option of a huge rear wing; not the kind of thing that will be appreciated in suburbia, the Accord's more natural haunt.外界有广泛合金车轮沉重bodykit和后排座巨大的选择;会不会有这样的事情,在郊区被赞赏,给予更自然的困扰. The Coupe model is probably the only Accord that feels slightly underwhelming on the road.采伐的模式可能是唯一的协议,感到稍微underwhelming在路上.
OVERALL 总体
There?s really only one rule to follow when it comes to buying a late shape Accord ??收盘真的只有一个可依说到买晚形状协议? Buy British.英买. The Swindon-built cars are by far the best and the 2.0i Sport is probably the best value pick of the range.<辰建成车至今最佳的2.0i体育尖子也许是最佳值范围. If ever there was a used car you?d choose to rely on for reliability and the ability to provoke a smile, the fifth generation Accord is probably it.如果你有一个用轿车?四靠选择可靠性和能力挑起微笑它可能是第五代协议. Recommended.推荐.
