Accord! Panalo! Sleek Look.. Parts Ok, Good Car.

I would want the Galant...cause i drive an Accord! hehehe...

Interior appointments are almost the same I think. The Accord's PH22A (or is it F22?) engine was rated at 150hp, while the Galant V6 is at 163hp. What I like is the conversion of the Galant to the square foglamps and black/clear taillights (saw a number of tsikoteers with that here...), am not sure if it's a JDM or EUDM look...

With the Accord, what's promising is an H22A swap. Would be interesting to see if the cylinder head of the H22A could be slapped on the stock Accord's engine block so you wouldn't need a full engine swap...

I think the PH22 of the local accord is rated at 145hp....almost similar to F22 (although my local accord uses a US F22A2 engine, rated at 152hp...)

Interior: personal choice, I would pick the accord..the galant is too grayish, too plasticky...the accord have different materials at the dashboard, with different colors (gray and black)

Standard Features: almost the same....

Engine: the V6 of the galant is more powerful than the PH22 of the accord, although fuel consumption for the V6 galant is higher than that of the 2.2L four-pot accord....power is sufficient already with the 2.2L accord....

Exterior: I prefer the sleek design of the accord (the basis of my dad's choice for the car) than the shark-like design of the galant...although the galant looks good at some points....

I heard that the depreciation of both cars is alarming, but accords are priced higher than the galant by about 30-50K, depending on the model...

Weight, magaan ang accord, even lighter than the 2.0L Ford Lynx... kerb weight just at less than 1300 kgs...

btw, just my opinion...

Pareho namang maganda ang accord and galant. I drive a 94 galant VR V6. Ok naman ito, very dependable kasi daily driver sya. With regards naman sa fuel consumption mdyo talo ang galant pero the thing is mas malakas ang galant sa hatakan because it has 6 cylinders compared to the 4 of the accord.

For me, either of the two cars is a good choice. My dad owns a 95 accord and wala din naman akong naririnig na reklamo from him.

galant bro..

Galant! Tignan mo nalang yung ride ni SSaloon sa "Me and My Tsikot thread"
Ang sarap tignan!


O kaya, get the Sharkie 8G yung 6a13TT (Twin Turbo)
TIpid yun sa gas, 8-9 km/l sa city.

I stand corrected - should have said power was advrtised at 150hp, at least in the engine spec sheet which came with the car.

The Avatar of the 94 VR is exactly what I'm talking about - aside form the rectangular fog lamps, the grill pala also looks different...

[chokers]

Sir ubian,

A much as possible do not use capitalized text, you're practicaly shouting your lungs out.

To answer your question: Galant ako just don't get the one with auto tranny.
