I'd also consider which car has the coldest air conditioning system and how quick it cools down the occupants. Only way to do that is physically evaluate each car. Some cars have A/C vents to cool down the passengers at the back while other cars don't. I'm not sure if they're options or standard across models.Last edited by Jun aka Pekto; August 12th, 2014 at 10:02 PM.

August 13th, 2014 01:20 AM #34i can afford, but i'm kuripot.
i want a car that i can drive in relative comfort, and still save a bit on gas. mainly city driving.
i'm not interested in challenging others' carburators, but i do not want to be flagged down for obstructing traffic, either.
pre-owned daily driver, reliable, no chauffer! ease of maintenance.
camry or accord.

August 13th, 2014 01:44 PM #37Since you've had a 7th gen Accord already, you should be quite familiar with it's consumption habits. The 8th gen Accord 2.4 has a slightly more powerful version of the same engine, but also put on much more weight, so FC and performance would be pretty much the same. The 3.5V6 would be a good choice if your route is mild enough for the VCM to consider shutting off cylinders.

Copy. I'll take that to consideration.
Had a Mazda 626 a long time ago it was 2.0 iirc.
Comparing the 3. The most comfortable is the camry and most quiet, then the accord then the 626.

Can I add a suggestion?
A BMW E90 can be had for about 600-700k. This will probably be a 2005-2008 4 cyl 320i. It should be more efficient than a camry or accord because its lighter. It drives a lot better than any of your choices. The ride is stiff in its original run flat tires, but by now, the original owner has changed those. It will be as refined as any camry or accord.
sinabi moh! i hardly see my children now. when they were young, schedules were more predictable.
Traffic!
