#1
Accord coupe
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Engine is still smooth at 180,000 miles, quick starting, 25-30 MPG, crisp handling, all dashboard controls and sunroof remain funcional.
Cons: Severe rust on both rear wheel wells, same problem Hondas have had for the last 25 years, why they had not fixed this by my model year is inexplicable, since the front wheel wells are perfect.
The trunk lid is also rusted, which should not happen in a 10 year old car.
Overall: This car is reliable, economical and fun to drive.
The only major problem is rust in the wheel wells and trunk lid, otherwise the car would be as good...

#2
best luxury/performence car for the money
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Has performance and luxury, looks new and its over ten years old.
Has over 100K miles on it, but still runs flawlessly.
Few cars faster, especially since I have a 5 speed.
Makes friends jelous. Cons: No cup holder, no after market, and thats it.
Overall: If you want the best mix of luxury and performence then this is the car.
The coupe definitly looks better, but the sedan is just as nice. For the money you can't get much more. Buy one now, and if you can find a manual tranny, they are soo much more fun...

Beware Accord Transmission Problems!
Source: MSN Autos

...Got to bring it into the shop Monday and the dealer will replace the transmission solenoids. This does not seem to be the complete transmission so now I have to worry about it breaking down on the highway. Luckily I got the Honda Care extended warranty to 100,000. Overall: Beef up the quality or else this will be my last Honda. For those with the 9.0+ ratings waiting till you put some milage on your car. I also strongly advice buying the Honda Care warranty before your regular (36,000 mile) warranty expires. I read articles about 1998 abd 1999 owners and they are stuck paying for a $5,000...

Acccord DX

...Pros: This vehicle has been very good for me. No major problems!
Get great gas mileage and has been well worth the money.
Cons: The acceleration sucks even in a 5 speed model like mine!!! Overall: Over all it has been a great car. Very economical and a great first car!!!...

#5
Becareful!!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Ok ride, not too noisey Cons: The transmission throws you into gears making you think you are driving a race car but without the speed.
Overall: I rate this car a 5 out of 10. The Honda dealer here in town will not fix my car under warranty,
what parts are still covered, because he said that he doesn't have time and the parts will just wear out again. What kind of service is that?!?...

#6
great on gas
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: its sporty it handles well for the year Cons:
not much i dont like the noises it makes sometimes i have a 5 speed so it does make it hard to keep my foot off the peddle Overall: great on gas fun car to go on drives with...

#7
Good all around vechicle
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I also own a 1998 Accord EX. The new Accords 2.5 liters mated with a 5 speed AT is a huge increase performance.
Fills like a V6. Average around driving 28 to 30 MPG. Cons: Right dash has squeak. Overall: Great car, 25K miles already and no problems...

#8
Sporty Sedan
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Reliable Good Looking Good Gas Milage Great Sound
System Roomy Cons: Lacks initial power Could use a Brake upgrade Overall: The 4 door sedan is a great family car and very sporty at the same time.
If you like power get the V6, but only the 4 cyls.
come with a 5-speed manual. Initial pick-up is a little shy, but once the vtec kicks in the engine really opens up.
If Honda installed the Accords with Dual-Overhead cams I would never even look at another car...

#9
Ford club wagon van
Source: Cars.com

..."I have had 3 different ford Club wagon vans, This particular van is a 4x4 and has a 5.8 liter v-8,
Plenty of power and is excellent on gas when you consider you have the ability to move 15 people in one vehicle.A Quigley 4x4 conversion will cost a minimum of $10,500.
if you need or want a closed body 4x4 vehicle for work, camping Hunting, fishing or whatever, you will be hard pressed to duplicate or equal this vehicle at a price anywhere near the asking."...

#10
Nice, sporty, comfortable`
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: price, reliability, comfort, and safety Cons: only a 5 seater Overall: Excellent value for the money. Truly a trouble free investment...

Why should I also consider these?

The 2010 Audi A5/Cabriolet has a very understated appearance, as do its direct rivals from BMW.

The BMW 3-Series continues to set the standard for handling, though the folding-hardtop convertible has gotten quite heavy, with duller responses.

Its interior is more conservative than the Audi two-doors' cockpits, too.

The Infiniti G37 has a firm ride and sharp steering, but it's not quite as comfortable as either the Audi or the BMW coupe, and it's a little noisier.

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and the forthcoming 2011 E-Class Cabriolet have a new hard-edged style that's not universally appealing, but its dynamics are a step up from the former CLK-Class coupe and convertible.
