look into the 2006 or 2007 honda accord EX-L 4 door sedan, specifically with the V6 & 6 speed manual shift. This is a 240HP sleeper, very rare, made only 2 years, will blow the doors off both the bmw & audi...

the EX L has japanese reliability & will hold its value better, being rare! & ladies will love how adult you look in the accord.

meanwhile you will eat beemers/audis for breakfast.
