I like the idea of civic or corolla, but he's big guy. 6'3, 230+.

He asked me to try to help him find a bigger car.

Accord, Older Maxima, etc

anyone had any of these cars and can drop in and give me some advice?

what to look for? What not? THANKS!

didn't like those at all.

the bigger four doors ; preferred.

Something big, fairly quick, great gas mil, realiable, etc.

He wants to spend it all at once, because he needs a daily driver, for sure.

Work is about 45 mins away, everyday.

Remember, though, Richie.....Apples and Oranges. The European Accord you guys get in Holland is not the same Accord that we get here in the U.S.
The Accord you guys get is roughly comparable to the U.S.-market Acura TSX.

Of course, either way you're right, though...there is nothing wrong with either car.
