The 1998 Honda Stepwgn Goodee is a practical, boxy slice of late-’90s Japanese van ingenuity, designed with family hauling and road tripping in mind. Built on Honda’s RF1 chassis, which shares its underpinnings with the sixth-generation Civic and the first-generation CR-V, this tall-roofed transporter was engineered to maximize interior space without making the vehicle unnecessarily large. This particular Goodee example shows just 84,465 verified miles and comes finished in classic Taffeta White, offering a clean, timeless look. With its versatile layout and thoughtful amenities, it strikes a unique balance between commuter van and weekend escape pod.

Powering this Stepwgn is Honda’s 2.0L B20B inline-four engine, a reliable workhorse that’s earned a reputation for longevity and simplicity. It’s paired to a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels. While it won’t win drag races, the drivetrain is well-suited for urban duty and long-haul drives alike, delivering a no-fuss, no-drama experience every time you turn the key. The B20B’s proven performance means fewer surprises and more road time—exactly what you want in a van like this.

On the outside, this Stepwgn wears its Taffeta White paint with a clean, simple look that suits its practical design. The tall roof and upright body give it a great view of the road and a distinct, boxy charm. It’s been tastefully updated with a few aftermarket touches, including a steel front grille, mirror covers, and a set of Weds Rizley ZM wheels that add just enough personality without going over the top. While it does show some imperfections consistent with its age, including light scratches and small dings—the most noticeable being on the rear sliding door—the overall presentation remains honest and well-kept. It’s a van that stands out quietly—more about function than flash, but far from plain.

Inside, the Stepwgn is all about thoughtful use of space. The gray leather seating surfaces are a unique touch and add a bit of an upscale feel, with some typical wear consistent with leather of this age. Power windows, door locks, and mirrors bring everyday convenience, and the climate control is split between front and rear zones, with strong heat and cold A/C to keep passengers comfortable year-round. A Kenwood head unit is installed for basic audio needs. One of the standout features is the flexible rear layout: the main seats fold flat into a platform-style bed, and the rear jump seats can be folded out of the way when not needed, opening up a massive cargo area. It’s a surprisingly adaptable interior that can shift easily between family hauler and mini-camper.

Whether you’re looking for a commuter with personality or a weekend warrior for camping and road trips, this 1998 Honda Stepwgn Goodee is up for the task. With low miles, a dependable drivetrain, and a list of useful features, it’s a smart alternative to today’s oversized and overpriced vans. Simple, reliable, and surprisingly versatile, it’s proof that you don’t need to spend big to get a lot of function—and a little fun.
