Well, the Accord will certainly hold its value better even if you drive it off a cliff. I’m weary of the transmissions in those V6 accords. They weren’t very well known for durability. On the other side of the argument, nobody says a Grand Am is reliable…hm. Get a 4 cylinder EX 5 speed and save yourself the trouble. They handle better and brake better than the v6’s. ---

NEVER, EVER buy an N Body. 99 GAGT, '00 Alero gx, '02 GA = some many platform level chassis problems that you will highly regret it. I’ll be glad to list what I can remember if need be… -Nick ---

I really think if you drive both cars back to back you will see why the Accord is a better car. They just don’t have that economy-car feel that the Grand Am has. And that steering…yum…like butta. ---

ugh grand ams blow, avoid at all costs. If you want a grandma-esque DD get a grand prix, possibly a GTP if you want to realize how grave a mistake you are making modding your truck… ---
