Which Used car would you prefer to own?

keep in mind this vehicle will be paid for cash and insurance will be bought up front. so the only concerns here are reliablilty and gas.


1. accord
2. civic
3. protege
4. malibu
5. galant

also please give your reasoning and any experiance you may have ot relate.
thanks.

All things being equal (condition/mechanics) I'd go with the Accord. It's a little bigger than the Civic (for your family), they are decent quality-wise, and they get good gas mileage.

reliability and gas? then in this order
civic, accord, protege and stop there. Don't even consider the other 2

That's where I was going, especially not used. :lol


For sure between the Civic & the Accord ... I picked the Accord because it was a little bigger for a family of 4. :)

I would go with the Accord, but what model year are you looking at? I am personally a fan of hondas and have had good experience with them. They last a long time and great on gas, plus high resale value.

Civic or Accord. Lots of aftermarket items you can add to make it a rice rocket!

My grandpa researches on vehicles and finds the best. He said that Honda has one of the better type of cars and that the civic is really good. So i'd advise the Civic or Accord.

It probably depends on what year. I have had a Galant before and loved it. It was probably about 1998 or 1999 though.

If you're moving to the Southside, get a Chevy Impala.

When I worked for Budget car rental, we had soooo many issues with the Mitsubishis and Chevys. The Gallant is OK if its a standard, but I wouldnt recommend the automatic. That's what we always had issues with. THe ones that we had pretty much no problems with were the Toyotas and Hondas.

Civics are excellent cars, you will go far with a tank of gas. Everyone I have ever known who had a Civic loved it. The Accord is better for family, though as someone already pointed out. Also, if you do a lot of road trips, get the Accord. You will thank me later for it.
