Perfect for comfortable daily driving and weekend track daysSource: MSN Autos...The electrical system becomes a nightmare once modifying begins. I have a whole new computer in the car and if anything is off by 0.5volts the car does all sorts of weird things and is a wild goose chase until you can find the lose or broken wire. Overall: This will probably be a car I keep for a very very long time... even if it just rots in storage somewhere to be restored years later. The car is very solid; mine has been supercharged for 3 years with 100+hp from stock and mechanically the car never has said a peep. In stock form you can beat on the VQ engine all day and it will take the... |

Great car - great looksSource: Cars.com
..."I have a 95 Lebaron and it is great. Make sure you change the oil frequently and the tx fluid (make sure you use the right fluid - the owners manual has an error) and the car will last forever. |

Hard to believe it is a sedanSource: MSN Autos
...Pros: Incredibly fun to drive. Extremely quick and agile. |

Tale of two cars in one.Source: MSN Autos...Can use more power to distingush mid-range instruments. The suspension is a too stiff for the roads in NYC. I can feel every bump and rut in the road. I don't like the fact that the outside passenger mirror does not tilt down when going into reverse. Also, the navigation system is dated. The fan noise is too loud in the cabin as is road noise. Overall: I find that when I drive this car as if it were a sports car, it performs very well. It is responsive and the stiff suspesion no longer matters. However, if I drive as if it were a luxury vehicle, it disappoints. I have to take two approaches... |

Great choiceSource: MSN Autos...Strong residudal, plus dealer (Willis in Des Moines) made this a great deal! Cons: Small nitpicks- Nav system must have been designed by lawyers- several functions are disabled when car is in motion- voice command not nearly as functional as Acura TL- for example, only climate control option via voice in Infiniti is "on" or "off" whereas Acura lets you adjust temperature, fan level, etc., - same goes for radio controls- Acura very much better. Owner's manual resembles Chicago telephone book- takes up too much of an already small trunk. I wish the rear seat would split and fold down-- Gas... |

Fun reliable carSource: Cars.com
..."Even though this car is a convertible it has amazing air conditioning when the roof is up and it is hot outside. |

A sweet rideSource: MSN Autos
...Pros: Just one word "Sweet". This is a driver's car. |
| #8 |
Enjoy the rideSource: MSN Autos...Pros: Love it. Cons: Difficult to hide your smile driving the car. Is this a cons? Overall: It is a beautiful car... |

Great for the timesSource: MSN Autos...(Timeing belt was expensive). This has been the most reliable car I have ever had, and it still drives well. This car handles well, has good pick up for a 4cy, and is fun to drive. Cons: There have not been many cons to this car, I guess as the newer accords come out, they make the 2001 body style look ancient. There is one headlight that has gone out several times, but Honda makes things very simple for you to replace yourself. Overall: Overall, this is a very reliable car, and I think I could push this one to 200K easy. It is great right now in this economic crisis, reliable car, paid off... |

Why should I also consider these?
The Infiniti G37 is a relative newcomer but has impressive handling, perfect sport-sedan proportions, and available all-wheel drive.
It's also substantially less expensive than the German sedans.
The BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class are the perennial leaders in this segment.
Both come in a range of body styles and drivetrains, and they have ultimate-performance editions—the BMW M3 and the Benz C63—that the Lexus IS-F version takes on.
