Which is better

Feb 23, 2011 1:52PM PST

I am going to be purchasing a new car within the next couple of weeks and i need some advice on which car is a better option. I am looking to either get a 2011 Honda Accord Coupe or a 2011 Kia Optima. I am 19 so I am looking for something more sporty that's why i am choosing these two. Which one of these would be a better choice. I like to drive fast so a good engine is preferred, I see that the accord coupe has a 271hp V6 engine, but the optima has a 274hp I-4. Also which one is more reliable I know that honda has a great reputation on lasting a long time but what about a Kia are they reliable. Any advice on which car is a better option thanks.
