Option B

 

B

 

I HATE auto, B

 

B

it is a stick
it is cheaper
probably better gas mileage
an extra 18K miles (difference between the two cars listed) is nothing for a honda/toyota/subaru (great reliable cars)
the only disadvantage maybe higher insurance (but check that to make sure)

 

A, just because I drive to office with AT so more relax and rainy, winter day without thinking.
Only sunny day I drive the R and play on the way to and back from office.

 

"B" Yo! no doubt.

 

Accord - bigger, safer, automatic.

Dave,
surly you can't be serious... Subaru does not even come close to the reliability and quality (level of engineering and manufactring) of a Honda or a Toyota.

My WRX left much to be desired.

 

I forgot to mention that this will be my only car, I'm selling the R

Does that change your opinion?

Thanks

REALLY???? Wow. I am really surprised. My thoughts of Subaru were based mainly from Consumer Reports. What was wrong with your car? (not to hi-jack this thread)

I vote Accord. My daily drivers have to be automatic's. I hate shifitng unless it's in a fun, fast car

Option B...it will be good for a hybrid down the road...

 

id go with B aswell def better gas with the civic.....if you dont beat on it to much you should get 30 mpg in the city also its cheaper

 

I bought a 1992 Toyota Tercel for $2000 for a beater. Looks half way decent and gets 37.8 mpg consistantly...its great!

 

For your only car?

Honestly, I'd suggest finding more options. Of the two you've listed, I'd probably lean toward the Civic since it is less expensive and has a manual transmission. However, the high rate of theft would make me uneasy about buying it (or any other Honda product for that matter).

Thefts not a big deal for me

As it is just a beater I have full insurance

If it gets stolen it gets stolen

It's not like its an R and I'd have a really hard time finding another

 

$6000 beater? Those are daily driven car prices for the Inland Empire.

Get a 1988 CRX HF for like $1500

It will be my daily driver but a beater for most people haha

I'll check inland empire

 

A

Accords are decently nice cars, and auto ownz for daily driving/beater duties.

 

Another vote for B.

 

Well another option is 99 Accord EX 85k miles - $8800

 

I chose a vintage 88 wagovan, foo.
