very reliable car, it's a V6 accord and yours is the 3.5L 280hp V6 engine powered.

you are good to go, as for the K-leg, proper maintenance would not give you any issues.

this particular brand is not known for the notorious k leg issue.... if that is a major determinant.... u r good to go! the acura is a very reliable brand

It's a superb ride but please remove fuel efficiency from ur agenda. If you want that, go for 2009 corolla and thank me later

You are good to go with the car, am driving an 03 model. The joint removing is a non issue if you have a good maintenance culture. The engine is 3.5l, so you can't compare it to a 2.0 or 1.8l engine. The road stability is superb.

Thanks a lot guys for your opinions. I really appreciate it. I also have another car in mind. Actually I have two options the acura 08 and a Mercedes Benz c230 2007 amg. Which of the two is more fuel efficient and cost effective maintainence wise.

Nothing like a C230 AMG. Both are fine cars. Check if the C230 has had its balance shaft fixed.

Honestly, I'd go with the Acura. It's a better car from all perspectives.

c230 is not AMG

Hence "(There is) Nothing like a C230 AMG."

Yeah.
But but newer models could be equipped with AMG package from factory . E.g wheels and body kits
But doesn't make them AMG
