yes,the 6th gen accord some has leather seats
yung ayaw ko lang walang headrest sa rear seats
kung pasok sa budget mo 7th gen then why not
how about the 2008 mazda 6 you love it I think because it's
sporty and it dosen't look like a executive car
How about considering
a Volvo and BMW and Audi
if your budget is around 300kLast edited by crosswind; September 26th, 2014 at 07:12 PM.

I agree that the Corona Exsior is an interesting car especially if it looks EUDM. However, it's slow (needs an engine change to a 3S-GE beams) and is pretty old already.
Yup the 6th gen is what I'm looking at right now. The 7th gen, not so much because it's the same engine output on a body that's 150 kg heavier so I understand why others will find it sluggish for a midsizer. My friend has both a 2.0 VTi-L 7th gen and a 2.4 V Camry and the Camry is noticeably faster from a standstill and even with a slow transmission it's still more responsive overall because of the greater torque and lighter body.
The 2008 Mazda 6 looks ugly to me compared to the '05-'07 one. Only the facelift (released 2010) looks good, but that's still expensive. And IMO the facelifted gen 1 Mazda 6 still looks more timeless.
Not interested in Euro cars because the price equivalent of a midsizer would be an older, slower, and less reliable euro car. It's hard enough to maintain an old Jap car, it gets exponentially difficult and expensive if it's an old Euro. Only old Euro I would consider is an E39 5-series because it's such a classic, but I'm not at that financial level in my life yet that I can afford to maintain a money pit just because it's beautiful.

I have the a/t crv 2000 model. I know it can't match a car on performance but when I was looking into it, I really wanted something higher and with a lot more space than a car could give. I was looking for the best stock performance of its size. Rav 4 xtrail and crv were my choices.
The reason is crv is much easier to play around with. Parts are dirt cheap, more torque than its counterpart of Rav but the xtrail is more powerful but a demon on gas consumption. And lastly, it look more decent for me. Well iba iba naman tayo pag dating sa looks.
I have driven a accord 2.0 and I must say I'm not impressed. It's built for comfort and no torque at all pero may dulo. Hirap sa torque yung oto kahit compare sa crv m/t. Sa highway talo crv sa accord.
F23, never had the chance to drive one.
If your still running a awd, take it off. Promise mas masigla yung oto, torquey.
Hth
Edit: about the r18 civic, I'll say don't get it. Medyo may issues yung car. Tensioner bilis maloose thread, a/c magnetic switch etc. And it's not cheap to get fixed. No offense to fd users...Last edited by [archie]; September 26th, 2014 at 08:08 PM.

I also have a 2000 honda cr-v but its a manual
i dont know if its faster than the A/T because for me
it's already responsive only minor repairs have been fixed
tyres lasted for 12 yrs.
the aircon is very reliable it only had problems on it's 12th yr.
4WD is also very helpful specially on standstill and on a 45 degrees parking on Antipolo
and it climbed up without a sweat beatin the L300 already making a burnout
FC is 6-7km/l on city driving my Galant V6 has better FC at 8km/l
* archie have you already replaced the under components at the chasis
like bushing and shock etc. that cost 44kLast edited by crosswind; September 26th, 2014 at 10:14 PM.

I agree spot on with your arguments for the CR-V, it's really very spacious and versatile, with the benefit of high ground clearance for poor roads and occasional floods.
Was the Accord 2.0 you tried an MT or AT? I don't particularly like any AT from the 90s because they rob so much power from the engine.
Not too keen on the FD either - it just doesn't feel special so it's not worth the price.
Thanks!

Powerful engine but it's a heavy chassis so it's not exactly faster than a similar 2-liter midsizer but it consumes more gas. Also, price range for the X-Trail is too near the Mazda 6 and I'd take the Mz6 in a heartbeat. Mahal masyado ng X-Trail and RAV-4 eh. Handling also isn't very nice and I hate center-mounted gauges.
Great car but not really swak for my needs and wants..

Nako bro so mukhang mas mabilis pa ang CR-V MT kaysa sa Accord 2.0 MT kahit mas magaan yung Accord because of the B20 vs F20 and the latter's lack of torque.
Focus nalang siguro ako sa 2.3 na Accord. No point getting a 2.0 kung hindi mabilis hehe.

Yeah pero sa duluhan talo crv.
I'm still a believer of dohc over sohc engines.
Good luck bro, sa tingin ko naman the 2.3 version has some umph.
