Both 4 cylinder manual transmission. Saturn drove ****ty but was a trooper and went 190K miles with minimal issues.
Accord was quite nice to drive - it got driven less so I sold it at 110K and 12 years old but it was basically flawless.
Used cars ever since then. I'm not a fan of cars of the last 5 years or so it is what it is.
