Anybody here own the '03 or '04 Honda Accord with the V6 engine? I drove one this weekend and was quite impressed but I'm curious to hear the overall impression from folks who've owned the car for sometime now.

Thanks for the input. This car shopping stuff gets more and more confusing as all the manufacturers make better cars.

UPDATE ON 9/23/03: I just turned in a '00 Lexus RX300 lease (will never lease again!) for a fully loaded '04 V6 EX in Graphite with every option except navigation (couldn't justify the 2k upcharge). I LOVE this car. The 240 hp 24 valve engine is superb and hauls this baby to 60 mph in a hurry with a great growl. Interior quality almost comparable with the Passat but you get 50 more horses. Remembering that it's still considered a family sedan, it handles beautfully and can be driven moderately agressively with great fun. I bought it from a car broker for 24k plus tax. He bought it from a dealer in Brooklyn. That saved me nearly a grand over the best price I could buy it for. It stickers at $26,500. This may be the best made automobile I've bought and may be even better made than the Lexus was. It's really THAT good.
