Don't forget to check the CV axle boots and listen for any clicking noise when turning... Ask about service records for things like the timing belt/tune ups etc.. get a Carfax report if you can...

on the stick shift model - find out if its the original clutch or if its been changed.

on the v6 auto - feel how it shifts on normal driving if it shifts hard or a little late beware.

other then that if the v6 comes up clean I would get the v6..
Nightstar Reviewed by Nightstar on . Help with choosing a car for a 16 year-old. Ok i was looking for some input on this choice between two cars. I have a choice between 1. 2002 Honda Accord Ex Coupe with a manual transmission. 89,000 miles, $8000 2. 2002 Honda Accord Ex V6 Sedan Automatic 105,000 miles from my mom. Price, dont worry about it too much, basically it comes down to v6? or manual? Rating: 5
