Why did you choose

Our family 5th gen auto was handed down to me and I drove it for my first 2 years of driving and then totaled it last March on St. Patty's (story: http://www.hondaaccordforum.com/My_totaled_95_Accord/m_119877/tm.htm). Had a budget of $4k - $6k to take out a car loan and was seriously looking at del Sols and 5spd 5th gens. Deal on a 1995 red Del Sol with only 102k fell through and wound up purchasing the 6th gen from a private seller.

Summary: Wanted to stick with Honda, had to be a 5spd, and the power bump from teh F22B2 to the F23A1 sold me.

i was close to getting an integra.. then my dad said to go look at one last car, the 6th gen.. looked at it.. hated it's guts, i thought it was the worst looking car in the world, at the time it reminded me of an old persons car, saw no potential whatsoever.. it had 5% tint and a red honda emblem.. my dad bought it anyway.. thank god he did..

Lol, i guess i'm one of 2 people who bought an accord with no parental influence. I actually bought my car with the intention of getting rid of it quick. I've had a few Honda's, they have all been reliable, etc. I started getting panic attacks alot when driving so i just needed to get rid of my talon. I wanted a coupe but bigger, i also wanted something i wouldn't have to worry about in the time i owned it. It's been 4 years i believe, i figured i'd only have it for 1. Now i can't decide if i want to sell it for something nicer or get a project car.

My parents wouldn't let me keep "my" Mustang when I moved out so I had to buy myself a car that I could afford with my own money. Needed something reliable that got decent mileage and wasn't a total econo-box. Both LeeAnn and her father have 6ga's and they haven't had many problems with them, I love the body style, and when we found this '99 AV6 coupe in DEP for so cheap, I had to buy it. Now I'm just enjoying it.

mine was bought in 05, i believe by my dad. who was on this crazi fude bout finding the, "fully loaded" accord. like it is ex, leather bla bla bla. at first i was like wtf is that, but i was like wth its his car. well after 2 weeks he didnt like the car and gave it to me. before hand i had totaled my 4th gen "88 accord lx-i 5spd 2.0 non vtec". but i first drove it and felt the power of the 3.0 vtec and i was sold. the auto-tragic isnt the best but it proves its self often. so this is how she is now " forgive the friends in the car"

at first i was aiming for a civic, cuz my dad said i was on a 5g budget. then my cuzin talked me out of a civic cuz it was yea. lol got me into accords. also chose the coupe cuz of the sexy tail lights. so looked and looked and finally bought my white 01 coupe with 63k miles off of some guy in san diego. my dad hustler man! got it down to 8g's and even got the guy to give us gas money! lol thats what u call an asian parent! haha
