The 626 is a good car. It's fast, comfortable and handling is excellent with a perfectly tuned suspension. But then it was as if the engineers made an excellent car but ignored the designers! I really do not like the 626's looks both inside and out.

The only midsize sedans I would consider for the TS would be the Cefiro and Accord. The Cefiro if he's after comfort and Accord if he's after sportiness. However, the Accord that fits the TS's budget only has an inline 4 so it's still not as enjoyable as the Cefiro in the engine department.
