Which 2-liter Car to Buy?

[EQAddict]

This Accord?

Attachment 23170

Weird, I saw a few Youtube videos with the car breaking 200 kph, both 2.0 and 2.3 versions.

I find it hard to believe that this particular Accord has poor performance because both owners and online reviews of the car put its drivetrain as its strongest suit..

Yeah that one. Trust me, its not fast

But it seems you are leaning towards this or a Mazda. Just giving you the opinion of someone who has actually owned this car when it was brand new.

At this point, I'm pretty decided on the Mazda 6 already. I can say with conviction that it's worth double the price of a used 6th gen Accord because of its younger age, better looks and image, superior features, and great performance.

Hirap lang talaga humanap ng fresh all-stock unit under 400k. If anyone knows anyone selling a well-maintained unit, please hook me up.

Kaya ako natetempt mag-Accord kasi laging may bagong sumusulpot sa Sulit.

But then again, why settle for an inferior choice?

2005-2007, 300-350k, up to 400k if it's a very very fresh unit.

Thanks but pass ako bro diyan sa link na yan - first of all, RICEY. Second, I believe that people with crap looking cars are also crap at maintaining them. Third, it's red. I'll only consider a white, black, beige, or silver Mz6.

Very hard to find one stock for a good price, though. Paddle shifters are just... okay, but what you really want is the manual. Fast-fast-fast-fast!

Nice find Niky.

If you're thinking of getting a used 6th gen, get one that's still has a good body. The suspension of the 6th gen is quite solid (double wishbone front & back). Get it cheap and then do an H22 (half-cut) transplant. I still have mine (VTi-L 2.3L AT) but the PS system is starting to leak within the steering rack shaft assembly and it is showing some tranny sliding symptoms. I still like its handling and its body feels light, much like newer compacts. Speed may not be as fast as more modern midsize cars but it's still packs a punch compared to most compacts. I use it for coding now.

If you want a fast 2L compact, get a stock Civic FD 2006-2008 K20 MT (as what Niky suggests) or a Focus TDCi 2007-2008 MT. They could be had for around 400-450k. A few weeks ago, I saw an ad in OLX for a used 2006 Mazda6 in Paranaque for 320k. The ad closed in a week or so.

Thanks Niky, I contemplated on that Civic but ultimately decided that the FD just looks too juvenile and common for me.

The Focus TDCi manual looks better on the outside once you change the stock rims but the interior is hideous.

The Mz6 still looks more upscale than either of the two. I realized that performance is just a qualifier and as long as the car isn't slow, I'm fine with it. What's more important is that it doesn't look old despite its age.

Also, both cars are outside my budget. 450k is just pushing it too much and I'd like to stay within 350 if possible. I don't see a reason to spend an extra hundred grand on a compact car when the 6 is better in every way except that it isn't a manual.
