    Looks like I'm going to save some money and get a new Honda Accord 2016 V 6 EX-L model probably tomorrow . I've already got a kick ass drive out price quote on one. I'm just going to test drive it and, if I like it, then I'm buying it. So, I'm going from a Camry V 6 to an Accord V 6. It's got a lot of features on it and it's a good value imo. All the luxury and speed models that start getting around $35k+...I don't really need. I'd rather save my money and I've got other expenses to worry about.

    I'm just joking with you -- that's actually the car i'd probably choose from the 3 you posted. My neighbor has one with a full performance exhaust and it sounds really good.

    Lolol, so. ****ing true... The whole thing is a POS and working on them is even worse. ****ing worst car I've ever had to work on. They should all be driven into a wall and burned/melted.

    Does anyone have experience with dodge here? I'm thinking about getting either a challenger or charger, but not sure about the reliability of those types of cars. Any other rec's for stylish, but reliable cars around 10-30k range?

    The camaro's cool, but I'm not a huge fan of the design. Will consider though. Is there a huge difference between V8 and V6?

    Ya that boxer rumble does sound aggressive with unequal length headers. I would be pretty self-conscious with such a loud exhaust on a car that isn't that fast in a straight because it might encourage faster cars like Mustangs to challenge me at traffic lights.

    Yeah, the new Accords for 2016 look really nice -- they're bulletproof and honestly with 278 HP on tap are very fast.

    Only occasionally on Fridays. When it's dry.

    Fortunately for the Civic the CLA wasn't in that class.

    330hp for the v6, i think it and the mustang are most bang for the buck atm in comparison to german sellouts..

    Well, I'm a new Accord owner. Everything looked great and the car ride is nice/comfy. It's an impressive car imo and the infotainment system married with the iPhone/Siri is really cool. Plus, all the features in this car are just insane imo for the price point. But, buying a car is exhausting. It took four hours and I'm spent. Sad to say bye to my Camry, though. I choked up a little because all the memories tied to it. I wish that car would have lasted longer because it still looked like new and it cleaned up nicely...but time to move on. Didn't get much for it because of the transmission but was able to use what I did get...along with another nice discount...toward an extended Honda warranty on the new car. I went with Silver exterior with light Gray leather interior.
