Out of this three Accord w/o any doubts. I owned three different Hondas never had a single issue with any of them (still driving one). Acura is just an expensive Honda and Hyundai is not a cheap Honda

So my dad went over to check out some of the cars at a dealership which had most of the accords and all but one of the tiburons on Autotrader. It was a really shady place (cars shoddy and cheaply repaired). So, I'm still considering the integra (haven't gone down to look at it yet) and am looking for more honda's.

I'll probably take a look at this tiburon later this week too.

Speaking from experience this is my order in which I would choose between the three:

1. Accord
2. Integra
3. Tuscani (Tiburon)

Accord's are well known to be extremely reliable and efficient, and like someone said above the Integra is a breeze to find parts for. The Tiburon is a good car, but be weary of it if you do choose that one as they are known to have defective tie-rod bushings that should be replaced immediately. Also the front splash gaurd can be removed faaar too easily which means it could fall off while you're driving and drag; never good.

I would look into something by Nissan also, Sentra's are amazing cars and are very reliable. I personally have owned a Sentra and two Maximas and besides normal wear and tear have never had serious problems.

Oh and don't forget about Civics, they run like champs

I'll be looking around for civics as well.

Have any of you ever owned an Audi A6? Are they high maintenance? I found one in my price range that looks gorgeous but I fear would also be a fortune to repair if something goes wrong.

That looks pretty clean, I'd make sure it's as good as they say it is for that price and mileage, check trouble spots such as suspension and brakes to be on the safe side. As far as A6's go, get one from '04 or older and you won't be looking at much in terms of maintenance. I personally love Audi's and have had several family members who own them so I would say if you can find one for a decent price in good condition (most of them are), jump on it. Audi does a phenomenal job on their interiors

Another car to look into is a BMW 3 series, specifically a 330i or 325i. Very dependable and good looking cars. E46 would be my recommendation, but E36's are well made also.

I gotta say, I'm a Honda guy plain and simple, even though I drive a Ford right now. My old Accord had 330,000 miles on it when I sold it. I bought a Focus, which I've been happy with for the most part, but the only reason I bought the Focus over a Honda was price. To buy a Civic of the same year it was going to cost me $3000 more for a car with 20-30k more miles on it. As far as reliability goes, Honda's have always been well rated by Consumer Reports (the bible of product reliability ratings imo). The Focus has had a good rating in all models 2005 and newer. Hyundai in recent years has really started building some good cars too. As far as Consumer Reports goes, most German cars get lower reliability rating with the exception of the BMW 3 Series.

BTW, That Acura looks like sweet ride.

I'd say go for the Integra. I drive one thats older than me, and its a great car. Plus it uses a lot of the parts from Civics, so its super cheap to repair it.

Its all in how you take cater of them. Japanese vehicles have proven to be reliable but in recent years have been using cheaper parts in an effort to be more competitively priced. Their casting process for engine molds etc. have been changed for the worse... I try and stick with the older hondas.

European vehicles have great design but a slew of electrical headaches to deal with down the road...

Subarus are awesome.

hyundai's suck, but have gotten a lot better...

I'd stick with a higher end honda or acura with an extensive maintenance record...

hyundai's and samsung are the same. Their products of yester year suck (80/90's cars & moment phones), but I would buy hyundais made now a days.

audis, benz, bmw, etc... when it comes to ne-used cars, better have deep pockets or know how to DIY repairs yourself.

japanese imports, I'd pick any of those before I pick a american built POS in terms of used cars.

God, I'm really mad at Chrysler right now. I spent the whole day trying to put the transmission back in a Jeep, and then at the end, I found out we have to take it off again with most of the undercarriage in order to put ONE FRIKIN SCREW back in.

Gotta love cars designed to fail at specific milages and be difficult to repair. If they weren't, how would the union certified parts technicians still have jobs.
