I'd take that and respect your decision. However, I am just pointing out that it is not the first time I read on this forum: "I am not taking the lowly Altima because the interior of Accord is as good as a 35K car", which the statment itself is untrue.

One thing to point out is that the setup C/D tested is unreal. How often do Honda and Altima sell manual transmission? For their specific test environment sure, Accord is a winner, however it doens't represent the mass.
