Everyone likes to look at the legends, but admiring what you have already is the key to happiness. This is my 6th gen Honda Accord, the first V6 model. It only puts out 160 WHP and 155 lb/ft of WTQ, but it has enough acceleration to put you back in your seat and is fast enough to pass everyone on the highway. Most importantly though, it’s mine.

What other “normal” cars do you think are under appreciated?

My wife has a 2006 Lexus RX330. It has a slow V6, terribly lazy shifting transmission, but the thing keeps on chugging along and is more comfortable to drive than our newer Tahoe, and is fairly nimble for its size.

I have a muscle car for having fun, but I really can't fault this mom mobile. It has 233k mi and is still humming along.

Especially for people who don’t want to blitz down the streets, something like that is the best. A smooth, safe, comfortable ride. Plus, it’s a Lexus… so unless you deliberately neglect it, or just don’t want it anymore, you can keep it damn near forever.

Mom-mobile indeed lol
