One of our family car we use from 1996 is our Honda Accord EX V6 model. This car handles exceptionally well. It takes off 0 to 70 in less than 10 seconds. It just zoomz past and helps to pass in a very short distance. Its leather interiors, its BOSE music system is as good as a 5 series BMW. Even after 6 + years it drives like new. I have not tried this off road as I tried with my Land Rover Discovery. ( photos of the off-road trip is at http://www.vacations-away.com/roving.htm - the vehicle with the giraffe spare wheel cover is mine )
I strongly recommend for its value for the money.
