Comfort, used daily, comparisons, mpg etc etc

ATR will win. (hopefully) :D

I owned my ATR for nearly 2 years.

To this day it is the best car I have owned.

Good medium of comfort and harshness. VTEC kick is nice and pronounced.

MPG I used to get around 30. Pre facelift models need to run 98ron as they don't have a MAP for regular unleaded.

Any questions you have just let me know.

accordr.org is a great resource, although many of the members I know have since moved on.

If I had to get a grown up car I'd seriously consider the ATR. They are good value at the moment, I also like the top spec preludes although there more expensive on insurance for me.
