New Camry Or Accord ?
Hello:
Trying to decide on a new Accord or Camry. Probably the 4 cyl, LX model. Anyone have any reasonably strong convictions on one over the other ? Why ? Or, is it simply a matter of price and how you fit in the front seats, since they are both so similar ? Any meaningful differences in overall quality, engine, transmission, etc. ? ------------ BTW: Do most folks still go with the 4 cyl. ? Strong "enough" ? Much thanks, Bob |

Both are apparently very good machines. Personally, I have heard more 'aw ****' stories about Honda than I have about Toyota. But both seem to be highly valued. |

He liked the Camry but said it rode softer, more like a traditional sedan. He thought the 4 was enough but the one he chose, because of the handling, came with the 6. My wife's '93 Camry wagon has the 6. Runs strong, even in the heavier wagon. You won't go wrong with either. |

Find out what that means if your timing belt should break. If that bothers you then you have a reason to choose. I like to keep a car as long as it runs and I don't like the idea of having an engine destroy itself should a belt break. YMMV. Mark |

Can't go wrong with the new Camry, 160hp 4 is plenty and gets great mielage.
At 15K-16K, a bargain comparitively. We have 5 toyotas currently,and I have bought Toyotas since '83. Got 243K on my first one, then sold for 25% of new price, still running perfectly, no oil use, and no major repairs. Have an Avalon with the V6, but the 4 is plenty unless in Mountains/High Altitude. Accord does cost more than Camry.
