i went to princeton honda yesterday and they actually let me test drive an accord ex coupe v6 6 speed, with every option minus nav. i have to say i was really impressed. nice car, fully loaded, solid shifter, perfect clutch, good amount of power (although not nearly as much as the LS1). the only thing i didn't like about it was the visibility - but that could have had something to do with the window sticker blocking my passenger side view. haha seriously though it seemed like i couldn't see very well directly in front of the car, and the A pillars looked a little too big.

but other than that, it's looking like i'll be rolling an accord in may. unless you can suggest another car that's less than 30k, coupe, at least 220 hp, manual tranny, and a nice interior. i really can't think of anything else that i would want to drive, except maybe a g35c, but i don't have 35 grand to drop on it (not to mention the astronomical insurance - one of my friends at school has one and pays ~5 grand a year, and she's a girl with a clean record)
