Are you talking purchase or lease? With $6000 down ($3000 on each car) and $350 a month you could raise your options if you intend on leasing cars.

 

That depends on "when" you need the car.
1. RSX (I wonder if they will change it to just RS) + Accord
2. Honda's version of MDX and Civic si (both a year away...)
3. New Camry (looks sharp on sketch) + integra
4. Civic + MR2(if you can get it at MSRP)
5. 325i base + 2000 civic si
6. 3000GT (last production year) + Accord

 

Our second car is a '99 Integra GS-R sedan. Here in Hawaii this is a very HIGH demand car, especialy since it will be discontinued when the RSX is out this summer. If you can find one, there are special lease rates and 6.9% APR specials on this car through Feb (though it will probably be extended, but that's not confirmed yet). GS-Rs, though getting old will offer you 4 doors, a 170 hp VTEC engine, leather, CD, and a 4/50 warranty. All this for a little over $20K.

As for the second car, Accords have special APRs available...

CR-Vs will probably be all new next year, look for a deal on the current models...

Civic is a pretty competant small car... and all new this year...

 

I want to buy, not lease. I also need both cars this spring and was thinking I might get a better deal if I bought 2 at a time. Here are combos that are coming to mind:
accord lx/prelude sh
accord lx/civic ex 2dr
odyssey/civic or prelude
accord lx/integra

I don't know.... It's giving me a headache thinking about it! I will not buy a Ford... still trying to figure out what the hell a mini is...

I don't think I could drive that thing around...Prelude is starting to win my sporty battle.

 

Accord and Prelude....YES!

Our stable is:
'01 S2000 silver/black .... my toy... 1050 miles
'93 XR250L white/red/blue...my other toy... 2000 miles
'93 Prelude VTEC blue/green pearl. My daily driver since October, 1992. 43,000 miles.
'94 Accord EX VTEC (manual) Jane's daily driver. 80,000 miles
'92 Accord EX (manual) Teenager's car (Elizabeth, then Jeff, then Ben) now about 110,000 miles.

All bought new.
All run GREAT!

I can't enter the VTEC range on my S2000 for another few hundred miles (420 miles on second short block right now) but I LOVE the VTEC surge at 4,800 to 5,200 in the '93 Prelude!
