Subaru Subaru Subaru. and Ford Trucksss hahahah,

after wrecking the 04 i went to subaru never really looked back, I eat hondas in every corner. someday my wifey will be driving a honda, cant say I will unless it is a s2000

but I do all my work myself, older subarus are more reliable and less likely to have a bad head gasket. Hondas are boring to drive but awesome MPG! and reliable, the 2.5 is a gas guzzle go with a 2.2

I have owned 97 integra auto , 95 ford contour, 98 accord sedan auto, 2.4 04 accord 5 speed (lots suspension work), 00' Legacy GT 5speed 2.5 , 02 Ford Ranger 2.4 five speed, 99 Ford ranger 4.0 4wheel drive heavily modified, 96 ranger 2.3 5 speed, 96 2.2 5 speed legacy L,

my dd is 94 2.2turbo legacy with sti downpipe and 3 inch straight pipe to the rear with magnaflow exhaust, sti suspension , 4 pots.

Same here but I didn't get it cause of the gas mileage that thing got.

If my accord was wrecked today I would debate between a 2006-2007 Accord Sedan V6 6MT, 04-06 Acura TL 6MT or a G35 Sedan 6MT. Best condition and lowest mileage wins!

Agree here.
We had similar cars minus the Trucks.
'98 Ford Contour GT
'97 Accord Coupe E-Xr
'01 Legacy GT Limited
'04 Accord Coupe E-Xl(recently acquired)

Love the Accord for practicality and fuel savings.
Subaru Legacies 2005-2009 no head gasket issues and are very well handling cars. The price is comparable. Both Japanese design, made in USA.

My choice
2005-2009 Subaru Legacy.

I'd probably get another Accord. I bought mine for a good reason. 33 mpg, good handling, lots of room, reliable, cheap to insure, reasonable parts cost... Audis don't share these traits. Nor do Jeeps or Porsches.

maybe

perhaps

possibly

most likely, love the throaty exhaust, power, and looks of g35s would've probably bought one instead of my accord if it wasn't for reliability/cost
