LMAO 90's Accord my ass. Don’t post while drunk.  Maybe the most bulletproof Accords ever made.  Seriously this is just bad journalism.  Every car can have lemons.  I thought this article was stats based.

Neither do aesthetics apparently.

My advice is just dive into it and drive. Learning it is the easy part, that’ll happen on the first day.

Yeah same, I bought my first manual before I knew how to drive it.

I never actually had a “bad” car but I think the most inconvenient was my ‘03 Focus ZX5. It wasn’t a lemon but things would go bad on it everyone couple of months or so...no doubt most of it due to wear and tear. I did a fair amount of spirited driving, but not abuse it.
