Advice to Buyer:
You may get a quieter ride with the 6 but your mileage will probably be worse than mine.
Detailed Review:
I also own a 1991 Accord 4 cylinder with 96000 miles on it. Believe it or not, it has a quieter engine and better fuel mileage than this 98 LX with the V-Tech engine. While it may be a high tech wonder, the V-Tech 4 cyl. buzzes and roars like a farm tractor. My dealer's response? 'They all sound like that'. Mileage has been in the very low 20's, really apalling for a 4 cyl. in my opinion. My 91 always gets 26-28 mpg. I think I have bought my last Honda. I should have bought a Camry!!
