Would you choose

Interesting point of views on Drive accord.net.........Would you choose an Accord V6 over a 328?

I wouldnt choose either. The new 6spd Accord V6 coupe are actually pretty nice. I'd say that i'd rather have an Accord V6 AND the $10 grand over a 328, but if they were the same price, id take the 328.

I like all of the 328 guys on the forum, but I can't imagine going back to a car with such little power. There are a lot more highways than curves on my side of the country. I remember when my mother had an E39 530i M-sport and I had a modified TL-S. While her car felt nicer than mine and "drove better" than mine, I definitely enjoyed the power and the tech enough to prefer it.

Hmm personal take is I like the exterior style of the V6 Accord coupe more than the 328 but take the 328 for overall performance and interior execution

Nope, no way in hell. Those Accords are so damn ugly. And we're comparing a Honda to a BMW here....come on.

Yes really! Throw reliability and better performance to the wind, on top of less money and a better overall investment - both in initial investment and resale value! Brand whores unite!

The BMW hate and Accord fanboyism starts on the second page. Nothing but harsh ride HPFP fail neh neh Germany sucks blah blah. They worry too much about price as opposed what they get for the money.

If they ever got to the HPFP topic, they are comparing their little Accord to the wrong beast.... Currently, there is no Honda to be compared to the 335...
328 has no HPFP (issues).

New Accord coupe V6 is 273hp. Available 6 speed and looks AMAZING.
Add the honda reliability and performance to that + the 10k you save.
And NO I am not a honda fan boy. I own just 1 well maybe 2.

And it's still just a Honda. And no there's nothing wrong with a Honda or owning a Honda. But a Honda is a Honda.

The new accord does look tempingly good, but no offence. No Japanese car can ever beat the driving feel of a german car.

I'm not a big fan of the accord coupe, so I would take the 3 series coupe. but for the sedan, accord for me. It looks better, more room, better tech, more comfy, great engine, more power, cheaper to maintain, cheaper to buy, reliable.

I mean both are not sporty/high performance by any mean, so it makes no sense other than pick the better people mover car.

I drove an Accord V6, auto, not manual.
It's an appliance with no road feel and it's not any quicker than the 328. Essentially, very boring to drive. Go from point A to point B and that's it. Push it in the turns and it pushes wide very quickly. FWD and a very heavy car don't add up.

NEVER would I take an Accord over a 328.
