I am asking cause I got a 98 Maxima and I was thinking of getting a second car. I like both brands but I heard that the 1998/1999 Accords have transmission problems. Many times I look at Accords going for cheap, it's always something with the tranny. From my observations, when they hit over 100,000 miles the tranny problems begin. I know that the 94-97 generation Accords are the best and don't have a bad rep but if that is true about the 98/99 I'll just stick with my Max.
