An accord then could be called a "poop car"....looks like it was extruded out the rear end of a giant that ate a car...all rounded, no shape.
Does not really matter...
If you want to blend in....you drive an accord/cammey....
If you want to tell folks " look at me" you drive a mini.

The new V6 Accord is a pretty fast beast that is not going to give you a brain bleed like the MINI.

One size fits all mass produced appliance - Mini/MINI Cooper.
Comparisons are irrelevant.

Actually, I have been on this forum for about a year under a different username linked to my Facebook, which i no longer have. I posted it under 3 different forums just to get a good amount of responses. Thank you for your your response though.

I think your friend is all wrong. The MINI is a brick, a damned fast brick.

My last accord was 2008 exl navi V6. Once wound up it was ok but the drive by wire throttle was horribly unresponsive. Compared to my Buick Enclave it might have been a Ferrari but compared to the R52 it was, well, an Enclave. Lol!
