it depends how much do you drive a week.

i just bought a 1999 3L V6 accord for $5800, 130k kms, full log books etc. reason was it'll only be driven about 150kms a week, so higher fuel consumption doesnt bother me ($25 instead of $15 from a civic) while i get much more creature comfort and safety.

but if i were to drive 400kms a week, that changes everything lol.
