Second. In what world are those two the only options?
Do you prefer beige or tan with a hint of brown?

I would shoot myself if that was my only options
Accord. It's got a decently fast I-4, and a really fast V6.
Complete sleeper.
uhh 0-60 in 6.1 second, vtec hardon?

there's something to be said about a "boring family sedan" with two car seats in the back that can thump a lot of luxury sedans and even a few older traditional sports cars.
It's funny how spoiled we've got with performance.
Staged together at the drag strip's starting line, the cars only stay together for the first two car lengths. By 20 mph, the Camaro's taken the lead, stretching it to a strong advantage (5.6 versus 6.2 seconds) at 60 mph. Tripping the quarter-mile timers at 14.0 seconds/at 98.8 mph gives the Z28 uncontested bragging rights over the Cobra's best effort of 14.4 seconds/at 97.4 mph. (Our recent test of a '92 Mustang LX 5.0 showed 0-60 times of 6.2 seconds and a quarter-mile best of 14.8 seconds/at 95.8 mph.)
1993 Ford Mustang Cobra Rear The top-speed shootout was next. On our secret high-speed test road, the temperaments of the two cars proved markedly different. The Cobra accelerated strongly to the top of fourth gear (nearly 130 mph), but ran into a wall of air when shifted into fifth. The climb to top speed (141 mph) required an additional 2.5 miles of pavement, at an acceleration rate that was leisurely at best. Terminal velocity occurred at 4000 rpm in the overdrive fifth gear; not surprisingly, that's the torque peak of the motor. (The Mustang LX we previously tested ran out of steam at 135 mph.) More power and better gearing pushed the Z28 to a much higher top speed, and did so a full mile sooner than what the Cobra required. The Chevy's lower 0.80:1 fifth gear cogs (versus the Ford's 0.68:1) returned excellent acceleration above 120 mph, and put the speedo on the peg (154 mph) just as the tach needle stretched into the yellow zone. In other words, a perfectly optimized powertrain. Shifting into super-overdrive (0.62:1) sixth gear dropped the top speed to 150 mph.
The Camry’s optional V-6 may be basically unchanged, but it delivers respectable hustle—0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, the quarter-mile in 14.3 at 101 mph
Bah. MT still rules my house! I'll gladly sit in traffic with one. (and do!)
Not quite that simple, for instance when I brought my wife home from the hospital, she would have been better off in a Camry or even a taxi than our Accord. That @#$% car seemed to find every bump and rut on the way home. .
I've heard the same about Accord. Which year Accord is this? I wonder if they have improved on that.
I'd probably go with the accord, but you should probably get the one you like the most. No point in getting something that you have to live with for the next couple years that you don't like.
No, he should get what we say he should get and he'll like it! :sneaky:
Of course, I own the car that AT garage says no car guy should ever buy and I like it... so I guess I'm not really a car guy.
Holy crap, you still pimping that rental Elise picture after all these years?
Hey Jules, I'll let you in on a secret: you got the Duc because you drive a Camry. Think about that for a sec...
I bought the Duc two years before I bought the Camry.
So much for that theory.
My theory still stands, because before that you drove a Namry.
This is such a ridiculous statement. I like driving and I like fast/sporty cars and I love my Camry for what it is... a great people hauler and commuter vehicle.
