Anyone choose 2003 Altima over Honda Accord V6 & happy with choice?

i'm now on my 2nd Accord V6 EX-L, and ready to purchase again. The car has been so problem free, it's tempting to purchase again but its boring styling has me considering the Altima SL (fully loaded). I like it, but a little concerned that the interior doesn't give a more "substantial" feel as Honda (in other words, cheaper) and concerned its a reflection of the entire car itself. Is comparing Altima to Honda V6 EX-L comparing apples to apples? Did you own V-6 Accord prior to purchasing your Altima and happy with choice? If yes, how long have you had your Altima? Robin

I can't answer all of your questions. Even though I am a big Nissan fan, I agree that the Accord interior is much nicer than the Altima. But, yes, I think you're comparing apples to apples. The Altima is targeted directly at the Accord. My guess is it's probably a little cheaper than the Honda.

Having looked at both vehicles...there is IMHO no comparison. The Altima 2.5 or 3.5 both outperform the Accord, look better standing still than the Accord and are a kick to drive. Interior is much more comfortable in the Atlima, as well. I'm not the smallest person around, so roominess is a plus. Hondas have a good rep for reliability, Nissan is no slouch. If you have to drive you may as well have fun doing it. REW

Hey, I'd love to see pics of the '09 Accord. Do they have the dualinlineifiniferators?
