ok guys ...
the Accord i had is sold :(
so now time for another car to make its way
i was considering the following cars
honda Accord 2004-2005
honda civic 2006+
Gs300 1999+(cos i got a 2jz for dead cheap, but planing to sell it )
skyline r33 is a option but difficult to find not abused n clean ..
i like the bmw 330i of 2000+ model ...
my budget is of 25-30 K
i had found a clean lumina 04 manual gear but i am kinda scared of american cars maintenance probs was for around 10k

i need a car only to drive like 450kms in a week ... mainly high way ...
my previous car would give me 450kms in 60 dhs ~ so looking for some thing near to it :)

what do u guys say ???

put in your suggestions

Go for gs300 or gs400 if u can.
Getting a honda civic 2006+ in that budget range is hard to find.
Search for some accord coupe :D

why not go for 05 3.5 altima? ... accord to accord wont be a big difference isnt?

regarding GS300 ... maintenance might kill you..just my personal experience..as old lexus needs really lots of things to be changed if not maintained properly. otherwise a good ride.

Stay away from that taxi. Stick to an Accord or an Altima, its more powerful.

well ... camry is nice and sweet..not in terms of power but looks and simplicity...good on the price and maint. (( looks cool if you get the SE model in copper ))

about the car..i think you shall stay away from american and german whips as they might make alot of holes in your pocket in the maint and parts categ.
mostly you would be told to go to the dealer for parts that is if you want satisfaction.

stick to japanease, they are cool,fast,easy, and everythin you could ask for.
i say... accord are nice powerful,easy on maint n parts....a old gs300 or aristo would be lovely but then parts and maint and stuff...i personally love it.. :)

altimas are also fast and stuff...i think you shall choose from altima 3.5 or accord 3.0 if you looking powerwise.
or else mid options accord and altimas...nothing else
OR
how about mazdas .. i mean i have a mazda3 and its nice..really petrol efficent...i go to auh and come back in liek 40-50aed petrol..thats almost a full tank...and i get around 420-450kms in 1 tank...

so now...smaller engine = saving cash on petrol and gettin more kms..or bigger engine = gettin power but not saving cash on petrol ;p

hope it helps.

Thank you Captain Obvious^

That 2004 Accord is going for a pretty good price. I'd say wait and look for a 3.5 Altima/3.0 Accord.

As a GS owner I would not recommend somethin else...lol
get the GS and do the swap...its very fun to drive and the power is more than u'll expect, and very good handling...i kept up with g35, 350z and lumina ss (2005).
and im serious, im not sayin this coz i have a GS
