Should I buy a 1992 Honda Accord EX-R sedan or a 1994 Mazda MX-6 LS?

I'm interested in buying an automatic 1992 Honda Accord EX-R sedan with 150,000 Km or an automatic 1994 Mazda MX-6 LS with 90,000 Km. Both of the aforementioned cars have clean titles. What are the pros and cons to the aforementioned cars? Which of the aforementioned cars should I buy? and Why?

hmmmm what are you looking for in the car? MX6 is a coupe and the Accord is either a coupe or a 4 door.

Either way the Honda would make a generally less painful old car owning experience if you haven't already gone down this path before. The Accord has a prone to fail automatic transmission though.

This is a car forum, I recommend a BMW M3 or Audi RS4. Both are great cars and excellent on both track and street.

My actual advice, just buy something and stop making so many threads...

Naw man, you want the Nissan Vigor!

But I seriously like the Accord. Reliable, and pretty good on gas.

Neither. Go buy a tricycle and see how you like it. First hand experience is always nice. Maybe when you're older, you can install tassles. If you're feeling a bit daring, you should get multicolored tassles.
Once you've gotten the hang of the sidewalk, upgrade to a bicycle and put... A BASKET ON THE FRONT!

OP is so indecisive.

I'm gonna bet he won't be buying a car this year. Then next year, he will ask the same question.

Judging by your indecisiveness and likeliness to keep second guessing, just save yourself a lot of stress and time and go with the Honda.
