Ford Focus vs Honda Accord?

I'm 16. My options right now are a 2005 focus or a 99-2001 accord… Which one is a better car? Just curiously which one should be faster?

I Would Have To Go With A Banana

The Focus from 2008 on is a pretty high quality car. The 2005 wasn't so good. But a 16 year old Accord is probably going to be pretty ratty. You'll likely spend more bringing it up to snuff than you paid for it.

Neither car is made for LeMans or TransAM. These two cars were intended to drive at a maximum speed of whatever is posted on the side of the highway, therefore both are equally fast. And it's difficult to geuss as to which car one would suggest for purchase as there's no mention as to the condition of the vehicles. The Ford is newer, but that wouldn't mean much if it has 3 times the míles on the odometer.

Fast isn't an issue that you need to be concerned with. Both are more than capable of reaching safe highways speeds. Determining which car is better is done by looking at the maintenance records and the repair history of each car. Comparing overall condition and how each car drives is what you need to be concerned with.

There's no other way to determine if a car that is more than 10 years old is still reliable or not.

Forget fast.

Newer might be better.

The Accord is a much better car.
