I know that both the 9-3 and Accord had a lot more issues during the 2003 model year because of model redesigns. I'm hoping that by 2004 the Accord's transmission problems and the 9-3's soft wear problems were worked out. This is what I'm looking at:
2004 Honda Accord LX 4-Door, 4-Cyl, 5-spd, 131k miles for $6495
2004 Saab 9-3 Linear 4-Cyl, 5-spd, 97k miles for $6999.
I need a reliable, long lasting car thats good in snow and is also safe. So which would be better?
