can you share your thoughts on comparing these two cars and what makes you decide on Sonata? I am curious on these 2 cars too. Think maybe trade in for one of these 2 cars within next two years.
@wulongchai if you want a hybrid, go with the Camry. If you want better value, and you have a good Hyundai dealership, you should go with the Sonata for the longer warranty. I decided on the Sonata because of the looks and the panoramic sunroof, all of that was under 30k. I choose a car base on the cabin noise, looks, and comfort. Cabin noise on both were about the same on comparable trims, looks are subjective, but the Sonata looked apart and more simple to me, the steering was lighter on the Sonata and the suspensions were softer, too. I get about 29 mpg on the Sonata, it can do 40 mpg on the highway, which is pretty nuts. If you really want sportiness, go with the Sonata N Line, that thing is wild.
@wulongchai the hybrid system on the Sonata is just not as good, but it's still great, it's very unique in its own way, and feels like a traditional ICE with the 6 speed transmission. The Toyota hybrids are just known to be better tuned, the Camry's is a bit more powerful, too. I'd say just choose a look that you prefer, since both cars in hybrid trims offer about the same sets of features.
@ just a owner of four Hyundai products was Honda Toyota consumer until 2019 … so much more bang for your buck and never had a issue … although I still love my 1995 Honda civic ex coupe
In 13 I bought a 2Dr Accord V6/6 speed manual. I took it on a Blue Ridge Parkway and Tail of the dragon drive. It was red ext w/black leather interior. I only drove it 8k miles and sold it for a profit a yr later. But... to be honest that was one of the best and most fun cars I've ever owned. If it had been a RWD I'd likely never had sold it. Today I have a Z06 vette which is no comparison. I also have a V8 S-Type Jag. As compared to the Jag... thats a hard choice. The Jag requires a lot of upkeep and its value is close to zero. That 13 Accord Coupe would be nice to have in its place. Ironically both the Jag and that 13 Accord would benefit from significantly stiffer sway bars.
@ when I paid it off I got a 6spd ‘16 Camaro for the rwd enjoyment while the accord served as main car. I also got a ‘16 impala. Camaro was totaled while my BM was driving it.

Toyota and Honda quality and reliability are not the same as their vehicles of the past. So the Hyundai and Kias not only look better but are catching up quickly with reliability and quality.
@@carlhovde6846 still Toyota's reliability is top tier. Can't say much about their trucks right now but the rest of the lineup is still massively reliable and still in high demand
I prefer the Accord to the Civic in terms of design, especially the Civic sedan which looks so generic and boring to my eyes. The Civic hatchback improves on that somewhat.
I had the '23 Accord Hybrid and it was the worst car I ever had. And that's because I grew up loving Hondas. The Honda lineup feels very cheap in quality, especially with the Accord. Mine has been to the shop 9 times in a year. There was too much creak and rattle in the interior. Not even cheap compact cars make that much noise. Also, the materials felt low in quality, and you could easily shift the center console around, and the dashboard would shake when driving on rough roads.
@@truckercowboyed2638 it’s the engine im referring to. That 2.5L I4 is a lot noisier than it’s ever been. In comparison the 2017 and older Camrys 4 cylinder were a lot more refined, smoother, and quieter too.

@brokeboy87 agreed but I am confident it has the best powertrain. And it is the smoothest plus the sportiest to drive. The best steering feel. Tons of leg space. I am aware camry has better fuel economy but I think it's tires are narrower.

Anybody else notice the Sonata was just one trim level above base? Plastic steering wheel and cloth seats.
But the SEL trim is the only way you get AWD in the sonata. Hybrid sonata isn't much better. It's turned mostly for comfort and a smooth ride.

So the Hyundai and Kias not only look better but are catching up quickly with reliability and quality.

My take is
Camry
Sonata
Accord
K5
Similar to mine, except the Accord being last.
The Camry and the Accord are the only two I would consider in that category and, of the two, the Camry wins by a nose for me.
Might as well tie the Kia K5 .with the Hyundai Sonata..both are corporate cousins of the Hyundai Motor Group
Shame on Honda and Camry for the gloss black interiors.
The Best choice is...👉🏼Camry 👨🏻⚖️👨🏻⚖️👨🏻⚖️👨🏻⚖️

The only thing I like about the Sonata is the design of the front end.
Whatever Toyota made,I appreciate
That Honda doesn't look better or perform much better than the Toyota Crown
I’d take the accord or sonata. The 9th gen Camry looks worse than the 8th gen and there’s no silky smooth v6. Only a noisy 4 cylinder
