Default Newbie Help. What to get for a car

Ok. I am new here and I have a few questions. I am thinking of getting a new car this summer but i am unsure what to get. I would like to get an Accord V6 ex but was wondering if anyone has any things against the car? Or if anyone has a good suggestion for a different car.

Also if i get the accord, what are the best mods for preformance that will not break me on cash?


Thanks for the help.

the car is a brick

the trannies are weak, and most EVERY mod worth doing, breaks the bank

id say get a 5th gen accord.IMO they are the best looking and relatively cheap to
mod. unless you just want something newer.


BTW, welcome to H-T!

Hey thanks everyone for the replies,

What is a DSM and a WRX, sorry i am out of the loop here.

Also, i mostly need it for a family car, so 4 doors. a good ride and good reliability to it. But other than that i am open for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Be careful, the WRX's are at dealerships being repaired a little too often IMO.
