I am looking at two cars:

1) 2004 Accord EX I4 with 30k, AT
2) 2007 Civic EX AT

They are roughly the same price. I had 1995 Civic die on me--needs new
transmission, and I decided this is just a time to get a new ride.

I have driven the Civic, but not the Accord. The one thing I did not
like about the Civic was the emergency brake seemed to rub on my leg.
Getting in an out of the back seemed more difficult, but who cares

I am concerned about the Honda AT. My civic was a manual and I am
still on the same clutch at 140k! I have read millions of posts about
how shitty Honda's AT are, primarily in Accords. Can someone explain
that to me? I would hate to dump money into an Accord only to have a
lemon on my hands.
