I would take the accord, then the altima then mazdaspeed 6
The eclipse went down hill after they took off the turbo and the awd editions in 99
now its really is a girly car

 

ooOOO

 

base model G37 starts in the 32k-33k range

 

Key word: "Starts" .. thats without options and taxes.. itll hit atleast 37-38k easy.. (Infiniti will make sure of it lol)

 

sorry for the long wait.. but he ended up not getting a coupe and got an 08' Altima 3.5SE with SL package and every option.. black on black. very nice car!

 

I think the SE and SL are separate trim levels.

Glad he found something he's happy with

There's no freakin' way I'm paying $31k for an Altima!

 

For 35K you can get the new WRX sedan and have money left over.

 

man this was so overdue for an update that i even forgot this thread existed.

glad he finally decided on the car.

 

yeahh they are different trims, but there is an "SL package" that you can get for the SE..

 

he only paid 31K out the door.. thats with Navi, sunroof, leather and all..

 

yeahh, i randomly ran across it in my account and decided "hey, lemme just go ahead and tell these guys like i said i would" lol

 

The Accord V6 EX-L w/Navi stickers at 31,145.....though I would not break the $30k for neither.

 

yeahh but it doesnt come with HID's or sportshift.. which are both turn-offs lol another one of my friends just got the 4dr Accord though.. not a bad car..

 

I went from an 02 Maxima to an 07 AV6 (HID to non-HID). I only missed HIDs for about a week before it became a 'no-biggie'.

As for sportshift my approach is simple: either get a manual tranny or just resolve yourself to letting the car "shift" itself. ("shift" in quotes as a reference to the Altima's CVT)

 

Only in Marketing would that make any sense.

Do they have a SE package for the SL. Might as well completely confuse the fuck out of everyone.

 

I hope you meant the STi ... Paying $35k for a WRX is galactically ridiculous.

 

I would get an Accord for $31k every time before buying an Altima.

What are Maximas now? $38k?

 

i know we all love Honda/Acura but if i went to the nissan forums, everyone would choose the Nissan vehicle over the Honda.. but i have a TL and my sister has a Maxima and i know from experience that both cars are great.. now that im used to my TL, i wouldnt trade it in for a maxima, but im sure if it would be the same the other way around too.. give the Alti some credit guys lol..

 

i dont think i can go back to non-HID, i love my Xenon's, they just make the whole front end look even greater at night!!

and he's not really a car/speed enthusiast, he doesnt care about the manual Trans. or modifying the car.. he just wants a nice car to drive around with a descent amount of power cuz once in a while we all start racing just for the heck of it when going places together and the sportshift makes it a little funner (and makes it seem like hes doing something important lol).. plus, having a manual car in ATL traffic is a fucking bitch!!

 

260's, V6, sport shift, why not CL-S I mean. we ARE on acurazine aren't we

 

nevermind.....his PARENTS don't want "used". But then again, he's still 17, why go NEW so soon?

 

I would get neither for > $30k. (If was not able to get my 07 AV6 EX-L for several thousand less than the $29,400 sticker, I would not have purchased it.)

 

I love my MS6...so fast!

 

good for u!



back to topic...

congrats to ur friend

i prolly would have gone with the accord myself for that $$

 

I will forever stay loyal to the accord!

 

Love that DISI engine ... You upgrade the intake and exhaust yet? I've seen 25hp/32Tq since upgrading =)

 

Intake and DownPipe. No dyno but 13.8 @ 102

 

Easy mod boy...
