In-game description

"Boasting unparalleled handling; the top of the line 6th generation Accord."

The previous generation Accord, while popular in the U.S., was deemed too big for the Japanese market, so for the sixth generation model, Honda incorporated a Flexible Platform, where the car would be engineered for both the American and Japanese market.

Japan's Accord was smaller than the U.S.'s, measuring 182.4 inches, 66.7 inches, and 56.2 inches in length, width, and height. It also had a range of options: eight different engine choices with displacement ranging from 1.8 liters to 2.3, automatic or manual transmissions, and front-wheel- or all-wheel-drive.

The most powerful of the bunch was the SiR-T that only came with a manual gearbox. Packed under its hood was a VTEC-equipped 2.0-liter DOHC inline-4 that pumped out 197 HP. In 1999, this engine was replaced by a 2.3-liter four that also produced 197 HP. Also of note was the 2.3VTL, the most popular wagon version of the car, powered by an easy-to-service 2.3-liter SOHC inline-4 with VTEC.

In 2000, Honda added an even sportier version called the Accord Euro R. Derived from the Type R sold only in Europe, it produced a total of 99 HP per liter (for a total of 217 HP) from the 2.2-liter DOHC inline-4. Offered only with a 5-speed manual gearbox and retuned suspension, the Accord Euro R was able to keep pace with not only comparable sports sedans of its day, but also with comparably-priced sports cars.
