4cyl doesnt have the same problems as the 6cyl>>>

Incorrect, both the 6th gen 6-cylinder AND 4-cylinder automatics have bad carrier bearings and can fail prematurely. The warranty covers both the 4 and 6 cylinder models, also.

This is not a correct statement! The 6th gen auto trannys are all a problem, for both 4 and 6 cylinder. The cars are great, except for the trannys>>>

Pairallel, How dare you come in here with facts!

C'mon guys.. the information is allover the internet, do your homework.

BTW, the 98-2002 Accord is a 6th gen. 5th gen was from 95-97.

As for problem areas, not too many aside from the pesky automatics.

Plastic radiators don't usually last longer than 7-8 years (depending on climate)

Ignition switches

Digital clock bulbs blow

The V6s are good engines, but it's hard to beat a Honda 4-cylinder (especially F-series) for ultimate reliability and high-mileage (300,000+ easily...)

Enjoy...
