Looking at changing cars, and I've narrowed it down to these two. I'd be looking at the 99-03 S3, against the 2L 02-07 Accord CL7 (all jap imports I gather). The Accords are more expensive, but worth it in my view. Afew cheap S3s knocking around, but I certainly want to avoid a neglected one. My budget is open enough, but…

The Accords are more expensive, but worth it in my view. Afew cheap S3s knocking around, but I certainly want to avoid a neglected one. My budget is open enough, but don't really want to go much over say 6k, but I'd like something that wont deprecate too much on me over say a year or so. I'm not pushed in terms of 4door v 2, once the back seats aren't made for double amputees. So whats do any of yous think? Any other options? I wouldn't be too keen on the likes of a civic type-r, I'd rather something abit more of a sleeper like the two above. I'd consider diesel but don't really do the miles anymore so might as well go back to having some fun with a petrol. A 535d would be about all that would tempt me to stay with a stove burner, but they are still coming in abit over budget, and alot to potentially go wrong in them (twin turbos), as well as the insane tax.
