A friend of mine had the 1.8 petrol for about 7 years, I think (she bought it brand new). She said it was very pricy on petrol, but never really complained of maintenance issues (except the heater problem I mentioned above - her driver side was stuck on cold air).

Granted your 2.5 v6 would be a lot more fun to drive I never can get my head around mpg figures like that. Just too used to economical cars I could probably deal with 25 mpg but much lower than that. But then I suppose if you love the car and driving it it makes the costs more bearable.

I've always loved both the 407 and the accord so one of them will be my next choice. If my OH would get off his ass and buy his much wanted jag I'd just take on his merc Damn thing always starts unless he leave the parking lights on
