The Nissan Z is a great looking car but the Accord will last a lot longer. Probably twice as long. The Nissan Z is faster and sportier, but the Accord is more reliable, bigger. Honda makes the best cars. I have a Accord Coupe and you can make them look really good with some nice wheels and a body kit. My friend has over 300,000 miles on his accord and it still runs good. The Nissan Z might last you 150,000 miles if you baby it.
