I've got a 99 Accord EX 4 cyl 5 spd. I test drove both 4 and 6 cyl back
when I bought my car new. The V6 power was nice. Both cars had the same
driving experience to me. I chose the 4cyl because I like to row my own.
I've always like Honda's silky clutch. I've never missed the V6 power. My
Accord has close to 90,000 miles on it. At 72,000 miles the check engine
light came on. The code said bad CAT convertor which was replaced under an
emission warranty. Apparently this is a known issue. I think the 2000/2001
Accords had some minor appearance chances over the 98/99 Accords. The
timing belt should be changed at 105,000 miles on the 4 cyl, I don't know
about the V6. With either car you cannot go wrong. Just make sure it's
checked out thoroughly. My personal preference is the EX model as I like
the moonroof, alloy wheels, and the colour matching body side molding.
There's a couple of other things as well.

Cheers,

Rick

Oh one more thing ...the Emerald Pearl paint on my car while looked great,
chips real easy.
