The Accord is a great car and a fun DD. I get just under 30 mpg typically and 20-25ish with spirited driving, which is quite fun considering 240hp plus six speed. It was a great deal when we bought it ($18K with 30K miles) and has been a pretty reliable car. The few issues we've had (mostly electrical) have been covered under warranty and were pretty much taken care of immediately after purchase. I did just have the timing belt replaced at 110K miles, and spending the $$$ to replace the clutch would definitely encourage me to hang onto it a bit longer. I also cannot say enough about not having a car payment on it. As for looking good, the paint is pretty gnarly - don't let the glossy signature pic fool you. The roof and rear deck lid paint is shot and needs to be repainted completely. I don't see us getting rid of the Honda unless it is to get my wife something else (in which case I get the Z for DD or maybe keep the Honda as DD and garage the Z).

Go for the 2nd Z, I don't regret it yet.
He is definitely on my list to call.
