If its pre 2001 the gearbox will go bang and loose reverse. £1000 to fix. Check to see its been done. Wrong torque put on the 5th and Reverse Syncro from the factory. But Honda will not admit, even though ive seen the error reports.

Otherwise a pretty good car, my suspension was a little rattly though.

Super stable handling and addictive VTEC power (faster than a Civic Type R - mine was anyway)

Its one of the cars i am now looking at to snap

Thanks for the advice.

No problem...

It has 80% the feel of an Evo 6... for ALLOT less money and running costs. Seats are the same... interior is better in the Accord.

Underrated car.

The ATR is a superb ownership proposition.

Worth seeking out an example which has had the gearbox problem rectified.
