GTO and Rohan,

Thank you both for your inputs. GTO, the threads you have shared are amazing. I knew an Auto would be slower compared to a manual assuming driving style is similiar but so much differences that the Accord 2.4 is almost 0.5 seconds faster than a 3.0 Auto is really eye opening.

Given the discussion of the threads, I am not sure if going for the 3.0 Auto even though it comes with traction control, side rear view mirror indicators, dual exhaust is really such a great idea. Why sacrifice mileage if you are not getting a gain in the performance segment and as someone pointed out, resale would be lower even when I do decide to sell it after using it for a couple of years.

Anybody still think this is a great idea.. Somehow and all of a sudden, I am beginning to love my 1.6 a lot more :-).

Thanks for such informative links.
