Hey all,
Have been thinking about which car to buy next. Having previously owned a mitsu galant 2.5V6 version(absolutely lovely + torquey + solid car).. and currently have an 03 2.0 accord (also lovely + solid)..
Now, still miss the mitsu, coz that was extremely reliable, even with all electronic bits and bobs, and being a 1998 with 170k on the clock, touchwood never missed a beat, but at that time wasn't into diy..
so, God knows why.. went for a 2 litre accord, coz loved the way it looks(don't get me wrong, mitsu was a beautiful in my eyes, the only bit that sometimes nagged me a bit was it was an auto and i always liked manual transmission)..
And owning an accord even after 2 years, still miss all that power from my mitsu, but honda does give me really good mpg if I'm being a decent driver (rarely)..
Since owning an accord, i somehow got into doing diy on it and became quite involved, after joining accord owners club, looking at diys and doing my own diys. From what I've seen is, jap cars r quite diy friendly and r ultra reliable, barely go wrong.
Personally, really like the looks of audi a6, but reliability wise, they r in the drain.. so that options crossed for me.
But would like to know, how good is lexus, diy wise, running cost wise and reliability wise.
Of course, if anyone has had an accord before and now a lexus, a comparison would be perfect..
