By exterior design I like Accord front and Camry rear.
That is what l was thinking. In fact l thought about replacing the Honda rear with the Toyota rear. That comes with loss of trunk space in the Honda though.
Have you seen the exterior of camry xse?
YES
SAME!!
Are you a face guy or an ass guy?
The ultimate showdown of "there is literally no wrong choice here"!
Either way you’ll win
Toyota choice is wrong
to short period you buy accord but for long run used you buy camry.
I met not so many can maintain accord until more than 5 years in Indonesia. reason is gasoline used and high maintenance price from Honda Indonesia.
but camry. so many. reliable and cheaper.everyday used car.
how is in your country?
@@cicada3312 why?
Pretty much the best modern car you can buy with unless you want a v8
As an owner of a 2015 Camry driving for Uber in NYC, I can tell you that the Toyota Camry is a beast in terms of reliability, outside of that, the Accord is better performing car and the quality of the interior
Is much better than the Camry. I've driven over 165K miles on the camry with very few issues, and that's driving in the awful streets
Of NYC. Toyota is the King of Reliability. But everything else goes in favor of Honda, specifically Performance.
Just purchased a new Honda Accord Sport two days ago. I absolutely love. Could not be happier. ❤️
Solid
How much did you end up paying for if you don't mind me asking because I'm looking at the same car.
I’m thinking of getting an Accord Sport but the SE one
My wife just traded her 19 accord sport for a 21 accord sport se in the sonic gray. She loves it. I just bought the Camry SE AWD... This video was ideal LOL!
Congrats on your new car Lynne
I always thought the Accord was the better car for years. Don't get me wrong, the Camry is a great car too, I prefer the looks of the Accord inside and out! Great review!!
It looks okay but I prefer American Lincoln mkz 3.0l 400hp
Precisely why I picked a 2020 Accord Sport 2.0T in July
Same
I'll drive uglier Camry and go further for less.
Toyota is always more reliable than Honda.
Toyota all the way. No turbo, no CVT, more reliable, quieter ride.
Honda: *sad face* 🥺🥺
The accord has a nicer looking facia in my opinion but yeah, I wouldn’t settle for a turbo. Rather have a n/a V6
@@juancastro7097 accord 2.0 is faster than the Camry TRD... just saying
@@juancastro7097 the camry in this video is a 4
Goes further too in mpg
Personally I prefer the Camry overall. The body styling, the interior, and overall quality of the vehicle. Plus AWD is optional with the Camry. I recently just bought a white 2021 Camry SE with AWD and I absolutely love it
Interior? Wtf
this was ridiculously well made. the split screen view of both cars interiors was great.
Thank you! We hope you subscribe if you haven't already!
Accord more tech and drive better. Camry is more solid and slightly better in term of reliability
And Camry has no cvt
@@jsnsjjfjfjv1388 They do on the hybrid.
@@Kameron8238 Hybrid is not technically a CVT. No belt.
@@webcomment8895 First gear is a traditional gear, then it is a belt.
@@Kameron8238 No.
The Camry Hybrid doesn’t have that. No CVT belt. Period.
Look it up.
Two GREAT daily drivers. I looked at both, test drove both and it all came down to appearance, because I felt that performance was equal, but not identical.
I personally prefer the Honda.
I prefer the car with the reputationfor reliability and high resale value. That is the Toyota for sure.
Accord was my go to but when I heard CVT it immediately made me want to go for the Camry with the 8 speed.
Then get the 2.0t accord. Comes with an amazing 10 speed transmission.
After having own both car, a touring and an XSE .... ... ...
Toyota camry is a WAY BETTER CAR!
For what reasons exactly??
With way less feature 🤦♂️
Why?
i love the accord
ToyoTAXI with 2010 technology and no apple play.
Trash boy ToyoTAXI fanboy
19 in 18 inch wheels is actually a big difference. With the 19 inch tires wear out faster and the ride suffers which causes your struts to take more impact from the bumps on the road. Dual climate control in the long run will cost more to fix than the single climate control when the warranty runs out. Also if you're looking to keep the car for the long run turbocharged engines don't last as long as naturally aspirated engines especially when it comes to a Toyota. I would love to see in the next 10 years the upkeep cost for the Toyota and the Accord and compare how much was spent to maintain and repair for each vehicle. And how much spent on fuel cost for the 10 years.
10 years in the same city and same driver? It’s a really difficult comparison of such a longitudinal study. I want to know why you believe smaller wheels mean less wear and tear. I happen to think it’s the opposite. Smaller wheels really dig into the potholes and create much heavier bumps whereas the bigger wheels can cover the total area of the holes. Giving you a smoother ride and less damage to suspension/struts.
Those low profile tires represent form over function. They are useless in the snow and an average pothole here in the Northeast will blow the tire and damage the rim.
Unfortunately this is the trend with the higher end models.
Was looking to buy one of the two , test drove both. The accord was definitely faster but less comfortable and practical. especially in Canada front wheel drive only sucks. went with the camry, very happy.
Which trim
Toyotas are the best cars on the road: they do not give people trouble, and the dealers do not kill you (unless you are buying tires there instead of through Amazon).
Can You guys do the Same Comparison with the 2 Hybrids? 2021 Camry XSE Hybrid vs the 2021 Accord Sport Hybrid. It would help me make my Decision of Which one to get. Thank You.
@@CHATO629 I drove a ‘21 Camry SE hybrid and a ‘22 Honda Accord Touring hybrid. No comparison, to me the Camry was clearly better. I also drove a ‘22 Honda Civic Touring, which I liked better than the Accord.
Nice comparison - really like the Accord, especially the Touring model - probably one of the best car values out there. You guys do a great job - thanks!
Gotta go with the accord. I’m biased as my 2004 has over 200k miles on her and she’s been an absolute tank. Only ever changed the starter, even the ac still blows ice cold
@@lalajee143 I used to like Hondas better but now I own a toyota a newer one I like their exteriors better ➕toyota are not as overrated compared to Honda
The 2004 Accord was a better car and was built to last, the modern Accord is for the millinial crowd that likes to trade in every 3-4 years. The older Accords were for finicky people who wanted to keep their cars and drive them for 300-500k miles. I will have to see it to believe it on the modern accord. That being said the New Camry is one super high tech machine and if you do not follow the recommended maintenance they can be a real pain in the rear. Both are great cars. but this new Accord has to prove itself to me before I buy one. The Camry has the same engine its had for years, just updated technology added to it. I am a little concerned over the direct injection on my Camry. I have heard if you get some bad gas it can cause you to have to replace all 4 injectors and it is not as easy to change as regular injectors.
I love them both Toyota and Honda but I got me a 2021 HONDA ACCORD TOURING 2.0T and Honda did a great job on the new update!! I am very happy with the choice I made.
Awesome oasis Love The Accord. I like the new Sonic Gray color
Congrats...Great car...I just got the 2.0t Sport...love it...
@@jazzyboy7784 man glad you like it. I ended up with the 2021 Ridgeline Sport but I love the Accords
THATS THE CAR TO GET!!
I think no matter which vehicle you choose, it will be the right choice! They're both awesome cars!
Toyota wins with a more reliable drive train of natural aspirated engine and traditional automatic. Turbo and CTV are just no match against the Camry.
I'm sorry was there a mass recall on Honda CVT's or Turbo engines? Did I miss something?
@@2001COUPE interestingly carcomplaints.com identifies some honda models as top most unreliable cars. Some years for Accord and Civic.
@@carlosquiroz7819 Right now do one for Toyota. Every car company ends up on that list. Remember when Toyotas were actually killing consumers and were fined hundreds of millions of dollars to the transportation and NIHSA along with settling with the deceased family members? Never once heard of Hondas doing that. But my point is at some point every car company gets complaints. But thanks for the info.
HAHA good one
@@2001COUPE not every complaint is equal in severity you short-minded puff
I owned a 2018 Accord Sport, just a pleasure to drive. However, I put high mileage on my cars, 30K+/ year, and the turbo and CVT worried me. Also, the early turbos from Honda had oil dilution issues. Don't think mine did, but the engine needed to be tried longer for me. Traded in on a Tacoma an expect 300k miles,
so the Accord proved itself to be reliability? how many KM did you drive it before trading in?
@@wasayable I only kept it two months, great car, but got a great deal on a Tacoma that I couldn’t refuse. Another that bugged me about this Accord, it was an early production 2018, and the hood was not aligned. They had a quality issue with this. I had three previous Accords all driven deep into the 200 thousands of miles without any issues. This one just seemed different.
@@terrynewell4749 I also drive high mileage/year. Did yours have a CVT? I had a 2014 civic hybrid that needed a scheduled CVT fluid change every 20k. Also had a Subaru CVT that went out at exactly 100k. Now I stay away.
@@terrynewell4749 I have accord 2018 sport 2.0 and I know what you mean with the hood alignment. It’s fixable. Pop the hood and adjust the plastic tabs that keep it in place.
thats why you get the 2.0t with the 10AT.Bulletproof drivetrain.
You Guys are Killing it!
Nicely recorded. Really appreciate your efforts. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
As much as I prefer the Accord, I would still buy a Camry every time since Toyota engines use D-4S dual injection vs Hondas direct injection. Carbon buildup is a major drawback with direct injection that most buyers overlook.
For used would u go with Camry, accord civic, or corolla
@@bangbangninergang5133 Really depends what size car your looking for. I would absolutely buy a Honda just make sure it’s pre-direct injection.
@@redtitan29 would the civic touring 2022 have it
@@Lraz1 Unfortunately, Honda has moved to DI across their entire engine line. The Civic exclusively uses a CVT transmission as well so make sure you test drive one if your seriously considering one.
So which do you think is advisable to buy?
Toyota vs. Honda?
Accord vs. Camry?? The answer is *YES!*
I sell Honda’s so I’m definitely biased but one thing I know for a fact is that Accord has better acceleration and its not as close as you would think. It was odd how going into the test drive he said “lets see how much ground the Camry can make up.” Both great cars but I do love seeing the Accord crush its competition.
CVT engines are trash though. At the end of the day its all about reliabilty and fuel efficiency for me. In 3-5 years or so that honda will need a lot of repairs because of that small engine carrying such a heavy mid size sudan.
Accord The Best
Look at the sales figures for both cars each years. Camry in a landslide and I have the 2021 Camry SE which I just purchased on March 1st.
That turbo goes out so does your hard earned $. Same goes for that transmission....
@@jaysargent3502 CVT is the transmission.
I love the Accord and Camry
Finally someone who loves both 😚😚
I like both but I got a Toyota for the automatic compared to the cvt. I hade a cvt car that needed a new transmission at 20k miles
@@OccupiedBot the accord also comes in automatic.
@@Ty-vq1jy well in terms of price point at the time why get a cvt if the Camry has it in automatic for about the same if not a bit cheaper.
@@OccupiedBot Only the hybrid gets a "CVT" and it's an ecvt so no belt, I actually think that drivetrain is smoother.
Camry gets you the power and the fuel economy without using an unreliable turbo engine. Camry wins, hands down.
Camry has more power
Camry look ugly and cheap. More power doesn't fast btw.
Accord is faster tho
Honda is pretty much dead, dealers are full of cars. Having the crv with a 1.5 turbo sucking down oil they are pretty much done... oh i forgot ugliest Type R on a civic 🤣🤣
William Lopez Camry is better IMO tho
Thank you so much for your review love the way you compared and split the screen awesome
Glad you enjoyed!
Both excellent cars, only downside for some would be the cvt in the Honda and some don’t want a turbo. I asked last year which manufacturer was preferred by Japanese people and overwhelmingly the Honda won. So that tells you something. 🤷🏼♂️
Honda Accord 💯 (2.0T)
The tuneability is years beyond the Camry.
Way more aftermarket parts & tech upgrades.
Honda has a car community that is always available whenever you're looking for inspiration.
Is there a way to remove to turbo-charger?
I own both, the toyota is a better car
@@victorColone Congratulations 👏
Good for you sir.
@@victorColone mind explaining why
@@AJ-xm4xc yeah buy another car.
Nice Comparison. Loved the video guys
The overall interior of the Accord is better save for the Seats where I believe the Camry seems to be more comfortable
Can never go wrong with Camry. Toyota naturally aspirated engine will last 20 years.
Both great cars. I would edge it out with Toyota have an edge in reliability and not having the problematic CVT.
Great comparison I like both cars but decided on a 2020 accord sport 2.0T and couldn’t be happier.
Thanks for an informative, factual comparison. Appreciate the approach to your video.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
I just bought myself and my wife 2 brand new camrys. I test drive the Honda first and even ignoring the long term reliability issues with the turbo engine and cvt transmission, you can never convince me that a cvt feels better. The Camry has a much simpler drivetrain and although you mentioned stuff the accord has that the Camry doesn’t, those are all options on the Camry and in my opinion well worth it. If the accord had a manual or conventional auto I probably would have chosen it as I like the appearance more.
The 2.0t accords have 10 speed AT
I agree, just bought a new Honda !
to me the camry looks better, but accords interior is way nicer to me, ive also driven both, and honda wins IMO, but only slightly!
You’re so right
Yeah
You guys are become more sophisticate and professional in this business.....you guys deserve millions subscribers🤘🤘🤘....
Thank you for this comparison video👍👍Its always increase my curiosity about which car will going to win comparison points😅😂
Great reviews as always. Thank you. Recently pulled the trigger on a Accord Sport 1.5T. Plenty of power, outstanding gas mileage. Amazing engine / fuel economy out of a small engine in a fairly large (mid-size) sedan.
Any particular reason you didn’t go with the 2.0T? Thanks!
Im about to get an Accord Sport here in Canada. Love everything about it, except the taillights. Everything else looks nice and classy/aggressive. Deciding whether to buy a slightly used/depreciated 2018, or go for a brand new 2021. The leather seat upgrade is a huge bonus
I'd go for a slightly used or a new model from a previous year.
Go for slightly used and save the money. Those cars brand new are not cheap. I bought mine in 2018 for $39000 . I wish I waited a year or two to get a depreciated price.
@@dongoggine Yea i agree, going to pickup mine tomorrow , 2018 accord sport w/ 25,000km
I got the 2018 Accord Sport in Lunar Silver! Canadian version..Absolutely gorgeous!
If it's the 1.5 Be aware of potential oil dilution issue with the Honda engine in colder climates. To my understanding best way to prevent this is regular oil changes even more frequent than what maintenance system advises
No fog lights on Camry! Really, also at these prices, rear ventilate air should be standard
Fot a modern car thats excusable
This not the Toyota of Japan, instead this is the Toyota of north America. So long suckers.
I own a 2019 Camry. I am definatly disappointed not having
No option for memory seats
No heated or ventilated seats
Camry can’t do Cruise control under 28mph but the Corollas can?!
No rear AC vents / Rear charging on L/LE/SE models.. absolutely stupid since these cars are near 25-30k new and they are for the family… the cheaper models get a Cubby hole in the back instead of AC vents/USB charging lol.
Yes my big gripe
No rear ac vents in Accord - especially in CA summers
I prefer the design and reliability of the Camry over the Accord. I'll admit I'm bias towards Toyota (I've had a Lexus ES300 and currently have an '04 Camry), but I am apprehensive of Honda transmissions and have seen a number of them fail, especially in V6 engines (even if they don't have V6 engines available anymore). Their oil dilution problems in the past and CVT transmissions make me reluctant, especially when they have added a turbo charger to a 4 cylinder engine.
The accord is way better then the Camry I work on cars and my customers with the accord are more satisfied the the owners of the Camry
@@danielmeador1991 To each their own, but I have seen a lot of transmissions fail on Hondas and they had the oil dilution issue for years on their models a few years ago. Regardless, both Toyota and Honda make quality cars relative to the auto industry, although as a whole I think quality control has gone down in general due to the amount of technology in cars, as well as stringent regulations for emissions and efficiency. Direct fuel injection, for example, has its tradeoffs. I'm not sure how much more efficient they can make the internal combustion at this point, modern engines are becoming more and more intricate and thus more challenging to work on.
@@neonreign2988 can’t argue with that to me all cars are junk until proven otherwise
Amazing review thank you
Great video!
Ha ha the microphone cover I thought it was a puppy in his lap
Me too ☺️
🤣
I was tied between these 2 cars thank you so much for covering basically everything.
Glad you found this helpful!
There both awesome cars no matter which one u buy you’ll be happy
Great video. Thanks for including the road noise decibels. That's a biggie with me.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Camry is pretty quiet. I like it.
2021 Camry XSE AWD 👀🔥
D-4S Dual injections, Predawn Gray Mica, blacked out emblems, All black rims, Moon roof, wireless adaptive fast charger, blind spot detection etc etc.
If you were on the fence... hop down onto the Camry side. Seriously handles great on highway and in the city. City and highway experience was in NYC (if you have been there you will understand)
Normally I would not provide input however... I absolutely love this Camry.
People are always complimenting the car and it has not let me down at all.
I plan to increase the break package to a higher grade one such as a Brembo set up and also plan to place tints on it to be as dark as possible.
Hopefully you find what suits you best!
P.s. Seriously go with the Camry
That the one I’m driving I’m so fucking in love 😻 with me car before I was driving honda 2018 and Camry weayyy better inside it crazy luxury I love it
One thing to keep in mind is that turbocharged engines typically wear out faster due to much higher pressures, and can be a small fortune to replace when they need to be replaced. Thankfully new turbochargers last a long time (150k miles or even more)
You nailed it. I am in the market for something to replace a 15 accord and don't want a small turbo or sunroof. All of Honda's 2.0's have sunroofs and the 1.5 turbo does not get any better gas mileage than the Camry.
this is an outdated concept. most engines used to be modified after market with turbos. the engines themselves simply were not engineered to be used with turbos and suffered as a result. if honda engineers put a turbo on their engine, it's because it can handle it. they don't do it lightly.
@@mossbogger8366 it’s not an outdated concept it’s just that Honda makes the best engines in the world. If Timmy down the road straps a turbo to his 4 cylinder Kia the concept very much applies.
@@Azeminad Exactly so @Moss Bogger comment is made even stronger by your comment Timmy shouldn't even be putting a turbo on that Kia. Why? Because it wasn't "engineered" to have or withstand one. But that's in total contrast with Honda's Turbocharged motors. Honda ENGINEERED them to have and withstand them. Another thing to note is that Honda does not manufactured their own turbos. The turbos that are put on Honda Accords are made by Mitsubishi. And Mitsubishi's turbo has the most reliability. Do your research on their turbo's because Honda has.
@Thomas B use synthetic oil
the reason why the camry is the loudest is because you can hear it out from the speakers as well. I love both the camry and the accord, and I have ridden on both. They are amazing cars, although I feel that the accord is more reliable. Great review by the way!!
i tried both and 100% take accord. it gives me sport feeling when i drive
An accord gives you “sport feeling”. Wait til you drive an actually fast car. Not a 200hp accord that keeps up with 300hp family sedans
@M if only you knew. You don’t realize how slow the accord actually is. Just wait til you drive a fast car then come talk to me
@M you think a 5.7 0-60 and a high 13 sec 1/4 mile is fast???? Ur delusional buddy. I’m guessing you think a Tesla model 3 performance is faster than the speed of light.
@M ur right. The accord is fast. Bmw m5, m3, Audi rs5 and many more are way too fast.
@M I wanna buy an accord now thanks!!!
Both are great cars and if you want some more sportiness the Accord is definitely a great choice, but I'm getting a Camry for the 8-speed instead of the CVT. I want a car that can last me until electric cars are more usable for the average person, and I don't want to have to bother with CVT flushes/maintenance. The NA engine is also a huge bonus.
The Accord of course...because of better driving dynamics!
Lower mpg too
The fact that 2021 Accord uses such a small engine on a car that size plus a small turbo means that it won’t last the same 20 years as the 90s V6 Accord we still see on the highways.
🧢
Yep. I was in the market for a new car in October. The new I4 turbo and no 6 option was a non starter for me.
I ended up with a Camry XSE. I love it so far.
My 2018 accord hasn’t had 1 issue and it drives as good as new. Silky smooth
@@Smileydudekxy 3 year old car shouldn’t have any issues
@@caloFi you’d be surprised
Great Review! Love them both. I'll go for the 2021 Honda Accord Sport SE. Overall, it is more economical, spacious and sporty performance.
Good choice Donnie. I love the Accords.
have owned three Hondas - two pre owned and one new. they are amazing and aesthetically pleasing. my dream car is a '91 NSX - that's what I would buy if I had a couple hundred grand burn. that being said, Lexus over Acura all day
I was hoping Honda refreshed those tail lights for the 2021 refresh. Those stapler lights still hasn't grown on me yet and it's been 3 years lol
ME TOO
If you look at aftermarket lights for the accord it looks amazing
I owned an 18 sports but now have a 20 touring. I didn't like the taillights at first when I saw pics of it but after seeing it in person it wasn't so bad. Still kinda ugly to me but that's why you could do mods to it from overlays to completely using aftermarket ones. There are so many options now compare to a couple of years ago.
It's one of those thing that once you own one you will like it even more. I too wish Honda would've made a revision of it for 2021 like smoked it out, kinda like the new CRV.
For me it was either getting a 21 Sports 2.0T or a 20 Touring. I chose to get the 20 Touring instead cause I like the older look a little more and plus I'm not missing out on much from the 21 changes.
Ditto
Yup i agree.
Very cute guys, awesome comparison. The Toyota has my heart....
You’re the best car reviewer ever on TH-cam!!!
Thanks haha 😁
Being someone who has owned 3 camrys, 2 corollas and 4 accords... I got to go with accord! The accord styling always beats the Camry styling. Camrys just now started getting sporty in recent years but Honda’s have always been more sporty.
Good choice Jack.
Wow you are a true Toyota/Honda split owner!
How was the reliability on the two brands?
@@Fadedglory14081 The Toyota’s I had were old so it’s normal that they gave me problems here and there but they were reliable for the most part. Out of the 4 Accords I had 3 were brand new and I kept none of them for over 5 years so I didn’t have problems. My old accord had old parts wear out here there but then again that’s normal for an old car.
I feel like the se model camrys do a pretty good job at being sporty
Test drove both and went with the 20 Midnight Black Camry.
Me too, I got the 2018 XSE model with the red interior and I love it, the honda was nice but the camry gave me more for my money
@@dwight690
Dif you find lightly used 2018 or was it a new, just a couple yrs old?
I would like to find a new 2018 or 2019 for lower property tax. Don't know if they do that or pretend they've sold them all.
Haven’t had the chance yet to test them out . But why did you Pick the Camry over the accord ? I’m having a hard time choosing between these two especially never driving fwd.
@@hectoresandoval8495 get the Accord drives so much better you will love it.
@@hectoresandoval8495 I disagree the Camry drives much better than the accord. I also enjoy the features better in the Camry. The Camry is very lovely and a more comfortable fit.
Thanks guys, this’s really a good comparison, they’re both great, I wish I can afford any them anytime soon
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video.
You're welcome! Glad you liked it!
I have both
Accord is better in handling , spending, stability on the road .
Camry is better in suspension system is more smooth than the accord
I agree on all of this. I've test driven both several times over the past month- the Camry SE and Accord LX. I preferred the handling of Accord, though Camry absorbed the bumps a bit better and had less road noise but more wind noise than Accord. Camry's dash is so busy, with what looks like too many buttons.. some even unnecessary, where the Accord is more streamlined and simple and sensible, though the SE's stereo tops the base Accord LX, as it should being it costs 2.5k more. I couldn't get down with the 8-speed in the Camry.. the most non-smooth auto I've driven outside of my 2000 Accord V6. You want to downshift to accelerate? be prepared to wait longer than any kind of "turbo/CVT lag", and enjoy the rough jerk as the Camry has to downshift 2-3x to get to the desired gear. That tranny scared me much more than the potential long-term (+150k miles) reliability concerns of the 1.5L turbo. Camry and Accord have VERY different driving positions. I always thought I felt more comfortable in the Honda.. but after owning it for a week.. I couldn't be more disappointed and frankly pissed that I spent all this time and energy and stress into this decision.. and after 10-15 minutes, the Accord LX has THE WORST seat I've ever experienced.. EVER. The lumbar "support" presses against your lower back unlike any other car (and I've owned a 2015 LX and 2000 LX, and of course driven other cars without adjustable lumbar), but this is on another level. The seat lacks cushion for your rear, and has minimal thigh support. The result is ridiculous lower back pain, butt pain, tingly sensations in your leg and foot... and you just can't get comfortable. Really great. My girlfriend also can't sit in the passenger's seat for more than 15 minutes without discomfort. Awesome. Just what we wanted for driving anywhere to do anything. Now I have to invest a good chunk of change into seat covers and cushions for a brand new car. unreal. Such disappointment. depressing really.
@@mootsym The 8 spd needs to be broken in, first 1000 miles was the worst, mine got a lot better after 4.5k miles and after around the 11-12k miles mark it was completely smoothed out. No lag, delay, or jerk whatsoever now on my 2018 is at 24k miles. I noticed transmission does much better in the summer, it doesn't like the cold.
@@ro0ster648 wish I knew that before buying the Accord. 3 too many creeks in the dash (and steering wheel??), not composed over bumps (compared to Camry, even with 2 less inches of sidewall on the tires), and the seat remains a joke. The Accord LX is about 2k less than the Camry SE out the door- and I wouldn't consider the LE because I felt it had too much roll. I'm averaging 40mpg per tank, even as we're getting into winter now (30 degrees).. so that's the biggest plus.
I love both of these cars, but aggressive driving with a CVT is like driving with a ticking time bomb... No thanks Honda!
I have a 2018 Honda Accord and I get compliments on it all the time. People often ask what kind of car it is because they say it looks like an audi or something similar. They say it’s a beautiful car.
very thorough comparison 👍
Disappointed that Honda Accord went with a turbo engine. Honda makes a great engine but Turbos are not known for their longevity. Camry for me.
HONDA 🥇
Just got the 2021 SE Cam a few weeks ago. Super smooth ride. I added the winter package (+$2k) which throws in heated seats, remote start, heated side mirrors and steering wheel. Would be nice if it came stock though. Accord is super nice too though.
I just bought a 2021 Camry LE, they added a bunch of stuff on mine too but they gave it to me all for free (like they took that price off) so I only paid sticker + destination. I am super happy with my purchase though!
Nice info, thanks :)
I love both brands and have had great success in 2018 I chose Camry for its fuel consumption
Real life expectancy and lifetime ownership cost hands down winner is the Camry with the 2.5L normally aspirated engine with 8 speed conventional transmission versus the Honda Accords 1.5 L 4-cylinder Turbocharged and 10-speed automatic, Continuous variable transmission... Both the Honda's Turbo and 10-speed automatic, Continuous variable transmission will die young before 100,000 miles or so... overall reliability goes to the bullitt proof Camry.
I just bought 2021 honda accord 2.0t sport. I test drove the Camry XSE and this 2.0t Accord. The performance and handling in the Accord was far superior. Before making my decision, I researched Car & Driver, Motor Trend, CR, KBB, US News, Edmunds plus I listened to many objective reviewers. The Accord was consistently rated as the best midsize sedan for 2021.
Your not scared of the turbo reliability?
Would like to see, for a little bit more, a comparison of the Accord Sport SE and Camry XSE. XSE gets a leather interior, heated seats, dual climate and other things. I am looking to trade my 2013 Edge for one of these. I had a Camry 2011 SE and loved it but I have not had a Honda
Howdy, awesome video as always! I prefer the Camry’s exterior and AWD availability, and I like the Accords interior, transmission (specifically the CVT) and engine better! I should and I preferred the Camry’s interior pre refresh!😸😻😸
Wait…you actually like having a CVT and Turbo?? That’s a repair money pit.
Both good cars, but for buying a car for reliability..I had to go with the Camry. Accord choosing to have a turbo and a CVT transmission is just asking for something expensive to break.
No wrong choice but id choose the accord for the speed, styling and tech
watchout for that CVT transmission if you're planning on long term ownership
I would choose Camry because of styling
@@ThatCarGuy2 but it also doesn't have that CVT i own currently Toyota Camry 2007 XLE V6. 147 thousands miles on it. I use premium gas i don't really have to. But man!! It's fast its smooth you can't get such reliable performance from any engine like Toyota dose. I'm the second owner. Now I'm looking for one owner Lexus.. Reliable vehicle it's a must and if you are a used car buyer Toyota is your best bet. You can get it to look hot little wheel change with tires specs and the Toyota will look awesome 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@East17A yeah I agree
@@East17A get LS 460. I did and it’s one of the best decisions I ever made. You can buy one less than $10k.
I really like both of them, I personally favor the camry but I think the honda seats look way better.
Good comparison of the top two affordable mid-sized cars. I knew the Accord had advantages when I chose the 2019 Camry SE in this price range 4 years ago. Honestly I don't regret it since the Camry has been trouble free other than a recall on the fuel pump which was replaced for no charge while there for a normal maintenance/oil change - so really not an inconvenience other than a couple extra hours in the shop. Over the decades we've owned eight Toyotas that have been trouble free so it was hard to change brands.
I do prefer the looks of the Camry SE, though the Accord is no slouch. I also wanted the normal 8-speed transmission over CVT and the NA 2.5L engine over Honda's turbo that has oil dilution issues. After 4 years I haven't damaged an 18" rim while I hear 19" wheels are much more damage prone. The cheaper Camry LE 17" wheels are even more robust but I think the SE's 18" wheel is a good looking compromise. A final intangible - it's fun to watch the Camry duel with Mustangs and Camaros on NASCAR racetracks! We're fortunate to have such great cars to choose from.
Camry for the AWD and a little bit more hp and torque plus I like the body of the Camry.
I personally have a 2022 toyota camry se, with convenience, cold weather, and sunroof packages. It has heated seats and mirrors and dual climate control. So it just depends on what you get with the car. Also, I've have the car for more then 6 months and remote start still works even though the dealer said its not supposed to even have it to begin with.
I actually like them both. I currently have a 2.0t accord sport, but I like the new camry trd with the blacked out roof.
I have the 2019 xse windchill pearl, red seats fully loaded and panoramic sunroof love it
Be careful with that sunroof..that repair is not something you want to pay.
@@Fadedglory14081 hopefully I don’t have any problems and keeping it garage kept out of the elements will help
Best comparison ever!
Thanks!
Bought the Accord S 2 months ago and I love everything about the car, especially the rims
Accord!!
*C a m r y*
CVT Scares the hell outta me. I will never forget my endless sleepless nights, and stress back then when i used to own a nissa dualis, Am all in Camry 2008 now never had an issue with it.
Same. Had a car that was 4 years old with a CVT engine and was told I needed a new transmission for $8,000. Traded it in on a 2021 Toyota Camry SE.
I love both of them, but I would pick the Camry, the Camry is very sexy
Toyota is the one for me. Honda CVT is not for me. Toyota natural aspirated engines is my choice.
Great video
There’s nothing EXTENSIVE about their refresh...look like they weren’t touched
Keep in mind its still the same generation.
when is the next gen ? 2023

@@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall you may want to ca your toyota dealership lol
I'll go with the accord more space and I like the model better only thing missing is AWD....
BUY an suv if you need all wheel drive
I don't own either of the two, nor do I know anyone who does. I have never driven any of those 2 cars. I came to TH-cam looking for comparison as I am contemplating which one should I buy as a replacement for my Toyota Corolla. Very good job guys! However, I wish you had gone a step further and added elements such as 'cost of ownership', i.e., repair cost, depreciation/resale value after 3-4 years, insurance cost, and definitely the cost of buying extended warranty from the dealer.
Accord ofcourse!
This generation Camry is showing its age. It definitely looks dated compared to the Accord. I test drove both and it was an easy choice. I went with the Accord EX-L 2.0t with 10 speed auto transmission. It drives and feels way more luxurious than its price point. Absolutely love my Accord.
Camry has better sound deadening which is underrated
Good job on the comparison I say I would pick the Camry because it looks cooler now in 2021
Oh happy birthday
@@FrancisLeonNina I just bought a Camry too, how are you liking it so far ?
@@brookec9802 lol great people keep looking at me
Hardly feels like heated outside mirrors should be weighted the same as Blind Spot Monitoring. Also, why are 19 inch tires simply higher points than 18 inch? Is the size the measure of quality/performance? @CarConfections - out of curiosity, what were the 2200 of options on the Camry? At the the 30K price, I'm surprised it didn't have the Cold Weather Package to remedy the issue of heated mirrors/seats.
