It was the best purchase I ever made. I tried every car under the sun that was less the 30k including the G35. Great bang for your buck. The auto is not GS400 fast, but the manual is pretty damn close with 0-60 in 6.2 and 1/4 mile in 14.6. So far i have 500 miles on mine and it seems to just get better and better everytime I drive. Btw I was a founder of the car club at my school which had all sorts of nice cars, IS300, M3, Evo, gen II eclipse, 330ci, and i drove in all those cars and to me my accord is a balanced version of what was great about all those cars.
