I'd stick with the Euro to be honest - they're just a much better balanced car.
If you do want a big V6 there are better options than the Accord IMO

Whoops I should have said all Accord Euros have a timing CHAIN. I knew they were definitely chain, just my fingers at the time didn't!

Avoid the V6 Accords. They tend to have transmission problems.

yes but you did notice it's $4,000 more as well as running costs are higher.

Only the earlier models - that shape should be okay.
As above I still wouldn't go for one though for other reasons.

Nah the earlier models had gearbox and steering rack issues and the V6 ones also had transmission issues

also just get a VIR report from motorweb.co.nz it will tell you everything eg finance owing, reported stolen, odometer history etc

go for the honda. we have had one for 2 years and been great vehicle with no problems at all. check listing 440840449 for a facelift model on 17's. much nicer finish inside and not hard plastic like in the mazda
