Nark Forums Junkie Location: Cabramatta, NSW Registered: May 2002	IS200 vs Liberty GT vs Accord Euro Thu, 12 August 2004 00:01 Which car would you buy?[ 49 vote(s) ] 1. Lexus IS200 22 / 45% 2. Subaru Liberty GT 21 / 43% 3. Honda Accord Euro 6 / 12% Hey all, I'm looking at buying a new car. These are my requirements: 1) Must cost less than $55k 2) Must go well 3) Must be a four door family saloon 4) Must be built well 5) Must be manual The first two requirements rule out all the European-built cars. The fourth one rules out the Falcadores. The Camry is not sporty enough. The Maxima is butt-ugly. Every man and his dog has a Mazda 6, and the styling is already aging rapidly. The only cars that really match my criteria are the Liberty GT (manual one is coming out later in the year) and the Accord Euro. The IS200 is in there purely from the merits of its fantastic handling 'coz it really, really, really lacks the grunt (which is why the woman doesn't want it). I have a big soft spot for the IS200 though because it just simply blew my mind. It's also built a lot better than the other two. Plus, being a rear driver is a HUGE plus for me (but doesn't mean anything to the woman). The Accord is only $40k though which is a big plus. Apparently it's supposed to handle quite well too. The Liberty is 4WD and comes in a wagon which will be handy 'coz we tend to go camping once in a while. But 4WD has the disadvantage of more fuel usage and bad handling. There is also the Liberty 3.0R-B. Non-turbo 180kW, but it has the Bilsteins (not sure if the GT does as well). I'm yet to drive the Liberty or Accord. I'll hopefully be able to do it this weekend. Just wanted your thoughts on what you'd buy and why. And if you'd buy another car, which one and why? [Updated on: Thu, 12 August 2004 00:22] [Report message to a moderator]
