Seriously! Accord is 15 years old and never a single problem. I've been spoiled reliability wise. That's one reason I want to go with Lexus....heard they are one of the most reliable but more luxurious.

You can't go wrong with any model year. They have all ranked on the top with no known major problems. I'd go with an '06 with low miles and save some dough.

Anyone have a pic of this difference... side by side or something?

The 250 will be fine for your needs and it will probably seem fast by comparison to your accord. The other benefit of the 250 is, you are likely to find a newer model with fewer miles at your price point as opposed to the 350. I've seen damn near new 250's selling for a couple grand more then what you are looking to spend. So, if you want to keep this car for another 10 yrs it's something to consider. And as other posters have stated it comes in AWD and RWD, but is also comes in manual (RWD only) or automatic.

You won't go wrong either way!
