Replying to: madpistol (Aug 05, 2008 8:52 pm) Some would rather have it sewing machine smooth than have any real personality. With a large highway-style car, it makes sense in the Taurus (to me, anyway). I'm guessing the majority of buyers in the $25k sedan market don't have "exhaust note" on their checklist for new car shopping.

Replying to: madpistol (Aug 05, 2008 8:52 pm) Personally as long as the car doesn't sound like a freight train going down the street I'm good. I also usually have my radio on, fairly loud, and I can't hear the engine much anyway. As long as the exhaust line is intact I'm good. I had a 93 Escort whose catalytic converter fell off, so there was no connection between the engine and the muffler, and the car sounded like death. That is the only thing I could go without. |

I am considering the 2009 honda accord sedan v6 but I have been reading up on the new 2009 nissan maxima. The 2009 maxima SV is a little pricey even without all the options. I was thinking about the 2009 maxima S base but it comes with cloth. I have been a honda driver for years and I am a little caution about nissan. Could anyone help me the pros and cons. I really want leather and price is a concern. Besides maxima is a redesign this year might be risky correct? Also reality,safety,and value mean a lot to me. I want a smooth ride. I currently have a 2001 accord ex and I differently don't want another 4 cyclinder ride.

Replying to: iwantone (Aug 17, 2008 6:20 am) Personally I couldn't give a fig about 4 cyl vs 6 cyl as long as I'm not left lagging behind everybody else. In my car I'm able to keep pace with "sane" drivers. I have on 03 Accord LX. It's too bad that Honda doesn't do the 24 hour test drive that I believe Chrysler advertised for a while. Not sure if they still do that. They may have had too many stolen cars.

Purchased a 2008 Accord V6 sedan for wife back in March. She loves the car, but the VCM technology has been giving her only 22 MPG average. Mediocre, considering 3 or 4 cylinders are off alot of the time. She is NOT an aggressive driver. I was driving a 2002 Camry V6 and been getting 28 MPG average!(mostly freeway) Just traded it in for the 2009 Camry Hybrid. Very impressed with Toyota's Hybrid technology! Very quiet, a lot of torque and acceleration power when needed and almost 'seemless' transition between the electric/ICE switching on and off. A lot of our friends have purchased the Prius and love it, but those of you considering a roomy 'family' sedan with 35-40 MPG performance should test drive the Camry Hybrid. Go to Camry Hybrid thread and read comments. Coincidently, the current issue of Consumer Reports has a nice article comparing Hybrid vs. Gas models for projected 5 year cost savings of ownership. The Camry Hybrid vs. Camry 4-cyl. had the highest savings at $4,250 over 5 years! Availability may be the only downside. Well worth any wait, I think! |
