cd5 and cg/ck

[Hans Bond]

for the cd5 and cg/ck accord driver..

my mate is going to buy either a cd5 or cg/ck accord..

since i was a cg driver and i knew that the cd5 is made in japan and cg/ck is made in us/thailand and japan means quality..

but in terms of:
-comfort: which one is more comfort?
-handling: which one has better handling?
-quiteness: which one is more quiet?
-performance: which one is more powerful? - i asked this because when i owned a cg and put standard unleaded fuel i need to rev it up to 5000 rpm to move the car from full stop position.

I use to own a CG and my Dad owns a CD5..so the differences i notice were:

- CG much more smooth and comfortable ride..
- CG IMO had better handling than the CD5
- CG miles ahead in terms of low level noises
- CG was faster, but then again i had the CG V6L..
- Though stock the CD5 looks better, but CG can be made to look very VIP styles..
- CG also eats a LOT of fuel..

Hope that helps!

what are the common problems for these cars?

[Vinnie]

for cd5's the fuel sender unit can be an issue. not expensive to fix tho.

i just had the ignition switch go on mine recently but apparently thats not an uncommon prob for cars over 10yrs and not accord specific.

i havent had any major dramas with mine, overall very reliable

are u still on the f series? i heard the v6 accords have transmission problems, which isnt exactly cheap to buy/rebuild one. so is that a GOOD reason to not purchase one of these? because the next thing u need is spending 10k on a car that is going to die after xxx,xxx amt of kms
