Im looking to purchase a new 2004 accord. Which would be better since I can get the one I really want (EX V6 with nav)
EX V6 auto sedan
or
EX leather and navigation 5-spd 4 cyl
the 4 cyl with nav is a little cheaper

can't seem to make up my mind so Im looking for some opinions

 

It really just depends on what you like better.

Have you driven both?

How important is having a manual tranny to you?

Would you use the navi a lot?

Just things to consider.

 

I'd get the EX with Navi, as it has plenty power and the Navi is a really useful tool for people like me that travel far and often. But if you never go out of state, it'd be stupid to get navi.

 

don't they offer a 5 spd V6 (not the 6spd)?

 

I wish

 

I would narrow down the decision to auto or manual. Since I would never buy a auto car then I would decide between i4 5spd or v6 6spd. My dad purchased an 03 ex i4 auto coupe and it sux in my opinion. Compared to my car his feels just lame even though it has a better engine. Auto takes all the life out of a car IMO.

 

:werd:

I wish I could just do an Auto->manual conversion, and be able to sell the Auto for more than the Manual+install

 

I would definitely agree that it depens on your style. As a v6 6spd owner I definitely love the extra power and control you have w/ a manual. Although the minus side is that it eats a lot more gas than the I4 auto. Also the Navi is nice when you're traveling around a lot. I just moved to milpitas so it helps me to get around cuz I'm not that familiar w/ it yet.

 

The navi is a great feature, but I think you'll feel as though your missing something when you see those cars with the V6 logo passing by you...

 

I would get the manual transmission with either motor. The car will run much better.
