Re: Which Year Accord to Buy?
 

Heard it many times 98-02 had issues, atleast the one I have 02 EX
Manual Accord, had the moonroof unit replaced while it was still under
warranty, it still rattles, replaced air vents nobs a few times, still
rattle. There is just continuous noises in the car all the time from
the doors...
