Hey!!!

aackshun, I drive both auto and manual f23s and have driven a 98 V6. All sedans, but I love my manual and have experienced the pain of stop and go traffic in it. I would say go with the 4bangar unless you plan on doing a CL-S 6spd manny swap with the V6.

this is true. my friends is the same way. but you, me, him, and everyone else in the 6th gen communities know that having a v6 on its original tranny for that long, isnt like finding a needle in a haystack, its like finding a needle in a country. those are less then few and far between. even my 4banger had a developing transmission problem.
Other 98AV6205HP V6, my father's 98 V6 hasn't had a hint of problems, and he bought it brand new back in 98. It's been on Cali, NY, and now Texas roads. His car has seen alot of different road conditions and the auto tranny is still good at 90k.

I've seen plenty of Honda V6s make around 150k miles with no problems, the ones I've test driven are flawless until nearing those numbers, as I've read a thread on here about (stockwise) the 5MT 4 bangers (god now i'm saying it) are as fast as the AV6s anyways but def don't sound as good. No, I do not plan on doing a tranny swap because the J30s arent really that fast anyways >.> (no, i dont feel like throwing in the cash to make it fast anyways)... but if i did get a 4 banger i would be tempted for a H22A swap for some speed...

just so you know, the vtec in the accords isnt all that great, haha. but yea, who needs mpg's, and if your concerned about it, drive good WITH the turbo, haha, shift low in the rpm's and youll be good. i know a guy with a civic with a built gsr motor (b18) with a t4 turbo pushing 30lbs with 700hp at the wheels and he still got 27mpg going from here, NJ, to virginia, and back once.

Yes, I know Sketch, I just love the sound of VTEC. If I wanted to feel VTEC i'd find me a GSR and throw in some JDM parts.... as for the 700hp civic 
that's insane power, but I bet the driver wasn't always hitting 6k or 7k before he shifts just to hear VTEC and his boost meter jump while on that trip... see if it was me... that's all i'd be doing . Thanks allot for your help guys, I think I'll have to drive the F23 and see what's up then I'll make my final decision.
