I don't trust the durability of CVTs in general, and particularly where they are attached to high-HP cars like the Maxima. Audi has stopped using the CVT, as have most automakers who had CVTs.

New Volvo's are a BAD idea. Their re-sale value is some of the worst I've seen in todays market. Even 06 models are close to half of what they sold for.

I think the 2008 Accord Sedan (V6 with Nav) is in the lead....Here is a quote I got:
2008 HONDA ACCORD EXL V-6 SEDAN AUTO NAVIGATION is $29038.
Not bad, more room then the TL and TSX...Navigation, bluetooth and Aux jack. Looks like a winner.

my gf was looking at the V6 coupe, and we got the price down to about $26,100 (no navi) before TTL...but that was before she changed her mind and wanted the 4 cylinder.
great prices on the accord right now, imo.

Actually, I got some other quotes:
$27,115.00
$27,923
Same car, all before tax, title, etc....But still a good deal. I'm trying to see a reason to go to Acura, but can't see one.

Otherwise, an Accord is a good car, regardless.
And I think you're spending more time looking for a car than for your house!
