Honda Accord vs Lexus IS200 on lexusownersclub?

[Soonth]

Had both, same mileage at ~ 63k

Both are excellent, engines are similar in terms of reliability, but although the power of the IS250 manual is around 204bhp its acceleration is a tad sluggish compared to the Accord 2.0 i-vtec auto which is rated around the 150bhp. Both feel powerful though. Couple of issues with the Lexus are the exhaust pipes, they will corrode fast and replacing one is around a grand, also the rims could do with replacement as your tyres will eventually deflate fast continually. 

The Accord body is prone to corrosion if used in very wet environments but mechanically, it just feels it has that tiny technical edge over the Lexus because of its superlative engine. The Accord has more gadgets than the Starship Enterprise which is a love or hate thing. Both have same comfort levels but both engines have top notch Japanese reliability.

Honda Toyota and Lexus are all in the same excellent league. Nissan is nowhere near as good for lots of reasons: After sales service, build quality, Renault parts and so on.......
