Drove a mates brand-spankin Accord Euro two weeks ago. The engine was an utterly gutless disappointment, however it did rev seamlessly to 7,000rpm. I didn't get to tear chunks out of the tyres (it only had 170km on the odo fer chrissakes!), but it was very smooth, composed and quiet, yet firm.
Interior was luxuriously appointed, with dead-cow everywhere, heated front seats, power everything and more storage bins than I'd know what to do with!!
Having said all that - I'd rather slit my own wrists than buy an Accord. Weedy motor + FWD = shitbox
Of this lineup I'd leap feet-first into the Liberty, without even thinking about it. Turbo Motor, reputedly nice manual, Subaru-sorted handling - where is the downside?
I know its interior appointments are appaling compared to the above cars, but give a VY runout SV8 a test-drive, while keeping in mind that the Manual DOES free-up after 15,000km or so.
It puts out an honest 245kw, for a shade over $40,000 - perhaps less when VZ lands in town. If you're desperate to spend $50k, a quick trip th the CAPA website will allow you to select your supercharger kit!! The 360kw+ kit looks good value at $8,700....
If you need leather, shell out for a runout VY SS with "the works" interior package.
-They're actually very good on build quality, because they're the last of the VY's and any problems were sorted out yonks ago. Same SHOULD apply for BA's too, but I don't have anything to do with them, so I can't say.
C'mon - the RWD handling's a hoot with N/A torque, Imagine force-fed throttle-steer, and 360kw of go-go-GO!!!
