I always considered Honda/Acura to be more Sporty like having suspension that's geared a bit more towards Handling and Reducing Body Roll, having a Stiff Chassis, minimal Sound Deadening Materials leading to Lower Weight and Less Comfort, but Better Handling. Generally Sportier Attributes. Toyota/Lexus on the other hand I consider to be more Comfortable, having a Softer Ride, softer suspension, higher profile squishy tires, Higher Weight from the Thicker Cushioned Seats and huge amounts of Sound Insulation which offers a more Comfortable, Quiet and Pleasant ride. But in turn the things that make them More Comfortable also make it Lean and Roll in Corners during Enthusiastic Driving. My Conclusion is: Camry: You will be More Comfortable in the Camry. The Car will feel more stable at highway speeds, You can drive on imperfect roads with bumps, cracks and rocks and still be as comfortable as if you were sitting on your couch at home. (For Older People) Accord: You will have More Fun in the Accord. The Car is more Engaging to drive. Carving Canyons will be enjoyable. The Car will feel less refined than the Camry over broken roads and there will be more Engine and Tire Noise but hearing the engine only makes you want to Drive More Enthusiastically. (For Younger People) Both: Both Cars are astonishingly Economical. Both Cars are exceptionally Cheap To Maintain. Both Cars hold their Resale Values better than any other Brands. Both Cars will be More Reliable than a toaster. Both Cars will go for A Million Miles. The Accord is just a better car overall. Better engineered, better engine, better handling, better chassis;stiffer, better looking, only thing that puts me off on the accord is that CVT. Car makers are leaning towards CVTs over ATs and Paddles over MTs, Just their way to get better economy I guess. Drive The Accord, Ride In The Camry -Alan
Camry = Luxury/Accord = Sport, great text! Too bad the Accord only pretends to be sportier, it really needed Pedal Shifters and a traditional automatic transmission(but I would buy the manual if my country had them).
These cars are should not be compared. Its like a Mercedes and BMW people buy them for different reason. The Honda drive better looks better. But the Camry keeps its value is affordable and is reliable. People buy them for different reason.
Difference in opinions work in some ways as well. Some may think the toyota drives better and looks better. But it depends on the person. Now when you say the toyota is more reliable I dont know what the hell you mean by that because the connotation of reliable can be a number of things on a car. Also, regarding value, every car depreciates to a level depending on the odometer, condition, and of course the number of owners and how long they have had it. So it is wuite inaccurate to say one has a higher value in the long run than the other because there are too many factors at play.
I was recently involved in a purchase of a 2013 Camry LE with the Accord and Nissan Altima as possibilities and here are the reasons the Camry got selected with a couple of observations:The Camry's exterior is subjectively worse looking than the other two but it is not bad and 'flys under the radar' better.The 2.5 in the Camry does not have DI and has a proper 6 cog transmission vs CVT which was not desired.The interior of the Camry came out as most desired as well.Others ok but didn't cut it.
I traded in my 2008 Accord EX-L for a 2013 Camry SE and couldn't be happier. I've owned 3 Accords and have been loyal to Honda. With that said I haven't been that thrilled with the reliability. My 08 Accord is suffering from oil consumption, bad MPG, horrible road noise and cheap leather. My previous Accords were not much better. The Accord handles very well and drives different than the Camry. I'm enjoying owning something different.
I just bought the 2014 honda accord exl and its 10 out of 10. I love it. Don't buy camry it sucks. And I just sold my 98 honda civic. It had 400.000 miles and still running great. Honda for the win thanks
Sit in a Camry 2013 and then go sit in an Accord 2013 you will feel the difference. Even though Accord looks better from the outside. Camry definitely looks better from the inside.
Solid, my 2014.5 XLE Camry is so Sweet, Ash leather int. with mica ext., drives like lexus,, tinted all the way around, my first 2001 has 210000 still running, nothing runs as strong as Toyota!
I have a 2006 Toyota Camry that has 106,000 miles and pretty soon, in July, I'll be buying a 2013 model. It has been a super reliable vehicle and I wouldn't pick any other make.It still rides like a new car and the only things I had to replace were a set of tires, a battery and of course air filters along with other items needed for regular maintenance. I used to drive a 2002 Toyota Corolla and it was OK. But the Camry is my favorite car and it will be for a long time to come.
I'm thinking of getting the Camry, toyota is freaking realiable! I have a 1992 Toyota 4Runner and it has 725,206 miles and it still hauls, paint wear off, no a/c, no radio because someone stole it. But it still hauls and It won't give up. If my 4Runner won't give up, then the camry wouldn't give up (:
In my mind at first, I really wanted the Accord, and most of my family have Honda. I even been research on the Accord for 4months. So I went test driving both the SE-L Camry 12" and the Accord SE 13" To get better results I brought 2 friends. We felt the Accord leg room is smaller. Doesn't feel more spacy than the Camry. The Camry SE-L came with Nav, and side Leather seats with moon roof. Camry seems to have better interior with luxury design base stitching.Yet the Camry felt way smoother.
Both are good cars but as far as I'm concerned? my overall nod goes to the Camry and here is why: (Subjective bit's first) The Camry interior is nicer and more comfortable for me with the seats being supportive, but not too hard. The Accord's interior is also 'nice' but too sterile and stark for my taste with the seats being slightly 'bricky'. Exterior styling? both nice and perhaps the Accord has the edge there but for people like me that want to fly under the radar and don't want any "hey.. look at me.. I'm driving a flashy 4 door" negative type attention...the Camry is perfect. For people seeking comfort like me? The Camry beats the Accord hands down in ride quality (Sans SE) with it's more cushy, but still controlled ride. All Camry trims except for the SE are softer sprung but the Accord is one size fits all. If you want a 'firmer' drivers car? get the Camry SE or the Accord but you better pass on the Fisher Price CVT in the Accord because that's another big reason why I avoid the Accord like the plague...the CVT summarily kills any sporting pretenses that might exist. (The stick shift 4 cylinder Accord is actually quite fun). The proper 6 speed automatic in the newer Camry is superb. Performance wise? both 4 cylinder Camry and Accord (auto to CVT) run very similar and there is no appreciable increase in performance with the Accord unless you go to the manual or the V6. As far as safety metrics? The Accord and Camry are very similar except in the small offset frontal crash test where the Camry didn't do as well. Statistically, these types of crashes are relatively rare but I will concede and from what I understand, Toyota is working on this. Incidentally and according to Autonews.."Cars performing poorly in the small overlap test can still receive top-pick status if they perform well in the IIHS's four traditional tests. To get the best rating of Top Safety Pick+, the vehicle needs a good or acceptable small overlap result.".. which is exactly what happened with the Scion TC due to an apparent slight difference in air bag deployment strategy which the Camry isn't utilizing. Point I'm making is the Camry was close enough to not to steer me in either direction at this point and to say the Camry is an 'unsafe' car due to one single, newer safety metric is a stretch. That is my 2 cents worth.. think for yourselves and get what works for you!
I drive for a local chain of dealerships and get into a wide variety of cars and SUV's every day. Today I drove a 2012 Camry LE this morning and then in the afternoon I had a Accord EX-L for awhile. Of course the EX-L had all the nice extras in it but I liked the Camry better and if I was going to get one of the two for myself it would be a Camry. The Accord seemed more spacious on the inside but the Camry just seems like a nicer car. My personal car is a Ford Fusion.
I too, have never seen a Toyota over 500k, but with Toyotas, it's a luck of the draw thing. My dad had a 1995 Camry LE and it was cursed. I spent more time in the shop than on the road. When he sold that, he bought a used 1998 Tacoma, same trim, same 2.4L 4-cyl engine and he still has it today with 191k miles on it. I promise you, it has never been to the shops for anything other than tire rotations and oil changes and other things that ever car needs.
The Camry is like this for its mass market appeal, there is a reason why its the best selling car in the US. The Camry provides a driving experience that is very very Lexus like so it's like having the comfort and driving experience of a Lexus for a much much lower price this is why people like it. Many other cars in this class tend to have a much firmer ride which isn't luxury or lexus like. It's the same thing with the Corolla they all drive very smoothly and have a comfortable ride.
Camerons Car Reviews a lot of fleets by them too so that helps their sales. I hardly ever see Accord rentals but almost every time I rent a car I get an Altima, Fusion, or Camry
Good review, on the two most popular sedans. I think the styling and quality of Honda out shines Camry by a Hugh amount. As everyone already forgot how many millions of Camry's were recalled recently?
I love both Honda and Toyota. Their reliability is beyond reproach. We all owe them a big thank you, for making such a faithful products. Unlike some other companies, that have traditionally produced pieces of trash on wheels. Having said that, if you enjoy the simple pleasure of driving, and a playful, and edgy nature, in your car, then go with the Accord. If you prefer a more staid driving experience, then go with the Camry. Two great cars. Two different personalities.
Bruce Wayne Camrys last the longest and have some of the best seats along with good miles and most reliable first starter car. Sorry, some of us prefer quality over looks.
I don't wanna start a back and forth banter, but if you look at the accord in the video, he is driving the Touring model (look at the 32 second mark) LED headlights / LED DRLs / etc.
I love the interior on the new accord. Kinda jealous of the leather stitch on the camry. If Honda brought that into the accord with the same layout then the interior on the accord would decimate the camry
I don't know how anyone else feels about Toyota's latest Camry, but I think its styling is a step back from its predecessor. The out-going Camry looked way better in my opinion. The Accord on the other hand improves in this area and get kudos for its latest line-up for 2013.
4:16. Toyota DOES NOT run the Camry in NASCAR. They use the same cars all the other manufacturers Chevy, Ford and Dodge use. They just use their own powertrains, engines etc.. They just disguise the front grill with their respective best sellers like the Camry, Fusion etc. I'm surprised a car reviewer doesn't know that basic fact about NASCAR.
***** Do you drive manual? Just curious, because I've never know a person who drives manual to say they would rather have an automatic. Not to mention you get better gas mileage, and acceleration. So it'll save you money, and help you out in bad weather conditions. Besides manual is just more fun to drive doesn't matter how few horses the engine puts out.
***** I think if you really drove economically you could get better mileage in a manual, but for an average day you would get about the same mpg. However I'm going to have to disagree with you when it comes to acceleration. If you took the same car and driver with the only difference being one has a manual and the other an automatic; the manual is always going to out perform the auto, even if its just by a small amount. Plus having a manual is extremely helpful in snow. For me driving manual is like eating a home grown vegetable, once you try it you can never go back to the truck ripened imported crap.
walrusking14 REALLY MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN THE CAMRY MAN? I AGREED WITH qwerty12345470, WHY THE HELL DO YOU WANT MANUAL ON A SLOW FAMILY SEDAN CAR LIKE CAMRY?,OH WAIT SAVE GAS?, GET THE 4 CYLINDER, ITS A DAMN CAMRY YOU WONT SPEND THAT MUCH GAS MAN, IF YOU WANT SAVE MORE MONEY GET A SMART FOR TWO, STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH MANUAL TRANS WITH A CAR IS NOT WORTH IT DRIVING IN MANUAL IS NOT SMART AT ALL.
The Accord is so much nicer inside and out, It doesn't feel cheap like the Camry does. It's also more fun to drive, Gets better fuel economy, especially in "ECON mode, It has better handling, more power, more safety features and dual climate control on all models. We drove several Camrys SE & LE trims, and a few Accords, An EX-L and a Touring. We ended up buying the Accord Touring with leather interior and 18 in wheels.
I bought the Honda because it is the drivers car, the engine is more refined, styling in my coupe is very nice, and I get 38 mpg in eco mode. While both cars are truly neck and neck in reliability, mileage, and value, I think the camry is just tooooo bland in its styling. I have driven a lot of Toyotas, and looks aren't something they are aiming at. And the lights, while seemingly very a small styling cue, are awesome and really make the car pop in visual. I don't think the Toyota is a mistake, but this review does a wonderful job in detailing their respective attributes.
I have an 07 Camry and still have it. I guess i should not be hard on the car since it has been pretty good to me. The biggest reason why i said this is because my car uses oil, quite a bit too. Problem is, many people have the issue with 07 generation Camry's and Toyota has done nothing for its customers. Now, clearly it was manufacturers faulty engine design (issue is known).Interior was put together poorly too with giant gaps (though many materials were soft touch); It is not a very exciting car to drive, mine is 5 speed which adds a little fun though. Also, all the recalls Toyota had just makes me think they are def. not focusing on quality but quantity, something GM did then used billions of dollars from taxpayers to come back (sad thing is GM still makes poor quality, recall loaded cars). Toyota's floor mat recall was BS, as i had the mats and they were awesome and were not located nowhere near the gas pedal, the recall was BS. All in all, Camry's are not what they used to be as far as quality goes.
I would have bought the Accord had they not gone to CVT,so I chose the camry Se,i love this car,ive always had Honda's,but will never own a CVT transmission,my friends have had way too many problems
@ 5:09 - camry is easier to drive but accord is more refined - Id have to disagree with that. Their verdict is spot-on. Camry is a smooth highway cruiser with comfortable appointments. It is more user friendly on the whole. The Accord is a bit more complicated with its center stack but its driving dynamics and equally if not slightly more supportive seats make it also a great car. If you like the Camry but not a fan of the looks, wait a month or two with their cosmetic changes - the front and back will look much nicer and give Honda little more of a struggle
I finally understood why you guys in USA see those cars as boring, you buy the i4 version. If you want a i4 go buy a Civic/Corolla, the Camry and the Accord are meant to have a V6.
Back in 1993 my Nissan Maxima SE cost $22,000 and had a 190hp 3 liter V6 that averaged 22mpg. It was considered a 'sport' sedan and I got 0-60 in under 8 seconds. The steering was heaving and the wheels squealed when I took an off ramp too fast. These new 4 cylinder sedans are better in every way and cheaper relative to inflation.
everyone says that but I own a 02 G500 and a 02 323Ci both of which have over 150k miles. I have not spent anything on either aside from oil changes and routine service which takes little mechanic skills. Before buying make sure it has a long and complete service history and use common sense. Then you can enjoy a automobile that's engineered with more in mind than gas mileage and production cost. You don't have to break the bank to treat ourselves...
I just took delivery for a 2013 Camry. I drove a 2009 Kia Spectra for 4 years. HAD TO HAND CRANK THE WINDOWS AND NO LECTRIC LOCKS. NO CRUSE CONTROL EITHER. wish me luck in my new BLACK 2013 CAMRY.
I was looking at the accord but now I changed my mind to a Camry because the interior is much nicer and I know I'm going to spend a lot of time in the interior rather than the exterior
6th generation(2007-2011) Camry is the best looking Camry out there. Hands down. I definitely want to go back to Toyota. But ill stick with my Accord for now.
I wanted to add, myself.. and other people that I deal with are not fans of direct injection for certain reasons.. including issues with intake valve deposit built up. It is a consideration in the future but it would have to be something like Toyota is developing where there is direct injectors working along side port ones in a 'hybrid' configuration. Others may be working on something like this but I'm not aware of it.
I hated my Toyota Camry...... AND my previous toyota corolla. But my 2014 EX-L is amaaaaaaaaazing!!!! Beautiful, great handling, great on gas and soooo many safety features.
As previous Camry owner, I suggest go with either Sonata or Optima. Much better design and features. Most definitely is the engine power that makes difference from Sonata with 200 HP vs Camry with 178 HP and it is easy to feel the difference though.
I prefer the sonata my mom test drove an optima ex and she hated she said that it was too sharp and the sears were uncomfortable but she also a sonata and she fell in love with it . I prefer the 2015 sonata ,2014 accord touring,fusion titanium, Altima 3.5 sl,
Guys, try to act more natural, you both seem so stiff and controlled. Love your videos though and all the information you provide, keep up the good work. Smile once in a while....
My personal car is 2013 honda accord and i drive a taxi 2013 camry You can even compare I'll give the camry performance 60% and style 27%. Accord performance 94% and style 92%
What Camry trim u have, to say style 27% it must be the Hybrid or The LE W nothing special inside that I think are not good looking, cuz I drive an SE and when it comes on quality, performance and exterior looking I would choose The Camry SE v6 all day...I'd say the accord has a beautiful dashboard well designed, other than that...Camry all Day
the Accord is a better car overall. handles better, steers better, rides better, has better fuel economy, and exterior style is better as well. In terms of interior styling is up to you.
pretty sure they know about the competition just fine. it's just that people prefer reliability over bells and whistles which is why camry is one of the top selling cars.
It all depends on what the driver is looking for. The Camry is for people that want a car that is easy to drive, quiet and comfortable. The Accord is for people that don't mind giving up some of that comfort for a more engaging experience. It's the same reason people choose Lexus or Mercedes vs. BMW. Also, the Camry costs less, and that is important to a LOT of people.
I drive a black 2014 Honda Accord Lx,I purchased it with 0 mile (5 mile) on december 24 after 15 days of research about Accord,Toyota and Nissan Altima. Accord is the best.
How many Honda's do you see on CL with 200k+ miles. Honda has always played catchup to Toyota in reliability. FYI Toyota's manufacturing process is so efficient every car produced is $2500 cheaper than its competitors. Look it up.
Looks are subjective. I'm sure they designed the cars to appeal to the greatest number of people, which is why they're the best selling cars...otherwise, why would people buy them? I know first-hand because I have a Camry, and when it was purchased, I thought it looked pretty good. It's super practical, easy to drive and extremely cheap to maintain.
Toyotas are for people that dont want to think about cars. Unshakable reliability with little maintenance, form the timing chain to the shims that sit on top of the valves to the single belt that power ALL the accessories, but never curls your toes. VVTI is cool and it pulls but its too quiet. The 09 Camry SE is a sexy looking car but it rolls to much and its quiet, stiffen those shocks and put the noise of a 2JZ under the hood and a 6mt with about 30 more HP and you will truly have a LEGEND.
I've never seen a Toyota run over 500k miles. I've owned a Toyota. The word "reliable" doesn't fit it at all. It's still miles beyond Honda in terms of reliability.
In this part of the segment, Camry is Mercedes where as Accord is BMW. Camry is better for comfort especially at the rear due to it's "Surge" type of acceleration and comfortable suspension while an Accord has always been quite "Sporty" to drive with a revy engine and a sporty suspension.
I choose 2013 Honda Accord over 2013 Toyota Camry because of the IIHS small overlap crash tests, Accord gets highest "Good" rating while Camry gets worst "Poor" rating
Apart from a few details on the exterior, I think this newer Camry looks worse than the old one. The interior appears to be a huge improvement, though. To me, the Accord has a more upscale appearance, in part because they stole some styling cues from the Genesis (what? Honda stealing from Hyundai?!). The interior looks like it's going after a somewhat sportier look than the Camry's. Both are nice, but don't forget the Poor rating the new Camry got from the IIHS if safety is important to you.
I agreed with everything you said but the Hyundai part, i don't think the Honda took anything from Hyundai. But i do like the Genesis and Sonata Turbo.
Giordano Cerrano Well, I have to say, I am surprised by that. I just pulled up a picture of the back end and back three-quarter view of the 2009 Genesis and to me the new Accord looks A LOT like it. But I don't see that as a bad thing--it looks upmarket and the Genesis is a good-looking car in its own right.
I passed on both of them and Purchased a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited Turbo with panaramic roof, nav system, and red wine leather seats. Front and back are heated. Just cant beat that.
Let's not forget that the Accord is offered in a Coupe (2D) & Sedan (4D) whereas the Camry is not. I would've liked to see other comparisons such as crash ratings, long-term maintenance, etc. But all in all, it all comes down to personal preference. In my book, it's the Accord FTW.
The Accord is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than the camry hands down. Ive driven both vehicles and honestly the accord drives so much smoother than the camry. you feel under control and it is just an all around fun car to drive. The accord looks great, drives great, and you get so much more bang for your buck if you get the Accord! I recommend to every to buy the accord. Ive been driving an accord for 8 years and it has over 350,000 miles on it and it still runs like new. Hondas virtually run forever!
Funny you had the same feeling towards the es350 as me. I helped a friend drove the car home from the dealership and it was just boring. I couldn't wait to get back on my old 97 civic.
I always considered Honda/Acura to be more Sporty like having suspension that's geared a bit more towards Handling and Reducing Body Roll, having a Stiff Chassis, minimal Sound Deadening Materials leading to Lower Weight and Less Comfort, but Better Handling. Generally Sportier Attributes.

The Accord is just a better car overall. Better engineered, better engine, better handling, better chassis;stiffer, better looking, only thing that puts me off on the accord is that CVT. Car makers are leaning towards CVTs over ATs and Paddles over MTs, Just their way to get better economy I guess.

All Camry trims except for the SE are softer sprung but the Accord is one size fits all. If you want a 'firmer' drivers car? get the Camry SE or the Accord but you better pass on the Fisher Price CVT in the Accord because that's another big reason why I avoid the Accord like the plague...the CVT summarily kills any sporting pretenses that might exist. (The stick shift 4 cylinder Accord is actually quite fun). The proper 6 speed automatic in the newer Camry is superb. Performance wise? both 4 cylinder Camry and Accord (auto to CVT) run very similar and there is no appreciable increase in performance with the Accord unless you go to the manual or the V6. As far as safety metrics? The Accord and Camry are very similar except in the small offset frontal crash test where the Camry didn't do as well. Statistically, these types of crashes are relatively rare but I will concede and from what I understand, Toyota is working on this. Incidentally and according to Autonews.."Cars performing poorly in the small overlap test can still receive top-pick status if they perform well in the IIHS's four traditional tests. To get the best rating of Top Safety Pick+, the vehicle needs a good or acceptable small overlap result.".. which is exactly what happened with the Scion TC due to an apparent slight difference in air bag deployment strategy which the Camry isn't utilizing. Point I'm making is the Camry was close enough to not to steer me in either direction at this point and to say the Camry is an 'unsafe' car due to one single, newer safety metric is a stretch. That is my 2 cents worth.. think for yourselves and get what works for you!
I drive for a local chain of dealerships and get into a wide variety of cars and SUV's every day. Today I drove a 2012 Camry LE this morning and then in the afternoon I had a Accord EX-L for awhile. Of course the EX-L had all the nice extras in it but I liked the Camry better and if I was going to get one of the two for myself it would be a Camry. The Accord seemed more spacious on the inside but the Camry just seems like a nicer car. My personal car is a Ford Fusion.
I'd prefer having a Honda!
I too, have never seen a Toyota over 500k, but with Toyotas, it's a luck of the draw thing. My dad had a 1995 Camry LE and it was cursed. I spent more time in the shop than on the road. When he sold that, he bought a used 1998 Tacoma, same trim, same 2.4L 4-cyl engine and he still has it today with 191k miles on it. I promise you, it has never been to the shops for anything other than tire rotations and oil changes and other things that ever car needs.
The Camry is like this for its mass market appeal, there is a reason why its the best selling car in the US. The Camry provides a driving experience that is very very Lexus like so it's like having the comfort and driving experience of a Lexus for a much much lower price this is why people like it. Many other cars in this class tend to have a much firmer ride which isn't luxury or lexus like. It's the same thing with the Corolla they all drive very smoothly and have a comfortable ride.
Camerons Car Reviews a lot of fleets by them too so that helps their sales. I hardly ever see Accord rentals but almost every time I rent a car I get an Altima, Fusion, or Camry

Good review, on the two most popular sedans. I think the styling and quality of Honda out shines Camry by a Hugh amount. As everyone already forgot how many millions of Camry's were recalled recently?
I love both Honda and Toyota. Their reliability is beyond reproach. We all owe them a big thank you, for making such a faithful products. Unlike some other companies, that have traditionally produced pieces of trash on wheels. Having said that, if you enjoy the simple pleasure of driving, and a playful, and edgy nature, in your car, then go with the Accord. If you prefer a more staid driving experience, then go with the Camry. Two great cars. Two different personalities.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS 💯💚👌👍😇
Both of these cars are nice but i like the camry more
@Bruce Wayne I think you are not gonna live after 40,, so better keep driving Honda
YESSSSSSSSSSS💛💙🖒❤😎💯✔
ÀMEN. ..U TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH 👍💯💕 BOTH CARS ARE NICE SEDANS ✔️❤️
Bruce Wayne Camrys last the longest and have some of the best seats along with good miles and most reliable first starter car. Sorry, some of us prefer quality over looks.
@@bmo1428 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS 😀👌👍💥😇💚
I don't wanna start a back and forth banter, but if you look at the accord in the video, he is driving the Touring model (look at the 32 second mark) LED headlights / LED DRLs / etc.
I love the interior on the new accord. Kinda jealous of the leather stitch on the camry. If Honda brought that into the accord with the same layout then the interior on the accord would decimate the camry
I don't know how anyone else feels about Toyota's latest Camry, but I think its styling is a step back from its predecessor. The out-going Camry looked way better in my opinion. The Accord on the other hand improves in this area and get kudos for its latest line-up for 2013.
respected the honesty in the opening sentence :)
Lol, the accord was looking waaaaaay more luxurious than the camry in the video
Honda seats very hard compared to Camry.
legolas becuz its sportier. the camry has an ugly interior. thats a fact
AlienNinjaPuppy that’s an opinion dumbass
Accord: Fuel economy, exterior styling, better ride, better Safety
Camry: Marginally better interior styling, easier to find good deals, ugly exterior,
4:16. Toyota DOES NOT run the Camry in NASCAR. They use the same cars all the other manufacturers Chevy, Ford and Dodge use. They just use their own powertrains, engines etc.. They just disguise the front grill with their respective best sellers like the Camry, Fusion etc. I'm surprised a car reviewer doesn't know that basic fact about NASCAR.
However, all cars in NASCAR must use the same displacement, and it is a camry fiberglass shell.
Camry has better interior
Accord is the more powerful
Camry for me. Also, the guy doing the Camry review was better.
I just couldn't ever bring myself to buy a Camry for one simple reason, no manual option.
***** Do you drive manual? Just curious, because I've never know a person who drives manual to say they would rather have an automatic. Not to mention you get better gas mileage, and acceleration. So it'll save you money, and help you out in bad weather conditions. Besides manual is just more fun to drive doesn't matter how few horses the engine puts out.
***** I think if you really drove economically you could get better mileage in a manual, but for an average day you would get about the same mpg. However I'm going to have to disagree with you when it comes to acceleration. If you took the same car and driver with the only difference being one has a manual and the other an automatic; the manual is always going to out perform the auto, even if its just by a small amount. Plus having a manual is extremely helpful in snow. For me driving manual is like eating a home grown vegetable, once you try it you can never go back to the truck ripened imported crap.
***** Agreed.
walrusking14 dual clutch . pwnd
walrusking14 REALLY MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN THE CAMRY MAN? I AGREED WITH qwerty12345470, WHY THE HELL DO YOU WANT MANUAL ON A SLOW FAMILY SEDAN CAR LIKE CAMRY?,OH WAIT SAVE GAS?, GET THE 4 CYLINDER, ITS A DAMN CAMRY YOU WONT SPEND THAT MUCH GAS MAN, IF YOU WANT SAVE MORE MONEY GET A SMART FOR TWO, STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH MANUAL TRANS WITH A CAR IS NOT WORTH IT DRIVING IN MANUAL IS NOT SMART AT ALL.
The Accord is so much nicer inside and out, It doesn't feel cheap like the Camry does. It's also more fun to drive, Gets better fuel economy, especially in "ECON mode, It has better handling, more power, more safety features and dual climate control on all models. We drove several Camrys SE & LE trims, and a few Accords, An EX-L and a Touring. We ended up buying the Accord Touring with leather interior and 18 in wheels.
Camry for the win.
✔️👍💯😇💚🤗
Kay McCall ohh wow this was my comment from 6 years ago.
@@WGazeon YES, I KNOW..LOL👍😇✔️💯💙
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
The guys were a bit stiff in reviewing the cars, but they delivered what the consumers wanted to know, great job!
The updated 2015 Camry looks much nicer! Planning to buy one soon!
I bought the Honda because it is the drivers car, the engine is more refined, styling in my coupe is very nice, and I get 38 mpg in eco mode. While both cars are truly neck and neck in reliability, mileage, and value, I think the camry is just tooooo bland in its styling. I have driven a lot of Toyotas, and looks aren't something they are aiming at. And the lights, while seemingly very a small styling cue, are awesome and really make the car pop in visual. I don't think the Toyota is a mistake, but this review does a wonderful job in detailing their respective attributes.
As Camry owner, I'd buy an Accord.
I have a 2012 Camry and love it. However, I have been looking at Accords lately. What don't you like about your Camry?
I have an 07 Camry and still have it. I guess i should not be hard on the car since it has been pretty good to me. The biggest reason why i said this is because my car uses oil, quite a bit too. Problem is, many people have the issue with 07 generation Camry's and Toyota has done nothing for its customers. Now, clearly it was manufacturers faulty engine design (issue is known).Interior was put together poorly too with giant gaps (though many materials were soft touch); It is not a very exciting car to drive, mine is 5 speed which adds a little fun though. Also, all the recalls Toyota had just makes me think they are def. not focusing on quality but quantity, something GM did then used billions of dollars from taxpayers to come back (sad thing is GM still makes poor quality, recall loaded cars). Toyota's floor mat recall was BS, as i had the mats and they were awesome and were not located nowhere near the gas pedal, the recall was BS. All in all, Camry's are not what they used to be as far as quality goes.
toyota engine after 100k miles nothing wrong. been owned a few toyota. not sure about honda?
I would have bought the Accord had they not gone to CVT,so I chose the camry Se,i love this car,ive always had Honda's,but will never own a CVT transmission,my friends have had way too many problems
EXCELLENT CHOICE...IVE HEARD MANY PEOPLE TALK NEGATIVE ABOUT CARS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS...✔️💯👍😇
@ 5:09 - camry is easier to drive but accord is more refined - Id have to disagree with that. Their verdict is spot-on. Camry is a smooth highway cruiser with comfortable appointments. It is more user friendly on the whole. The Accord is a bit more complicated with its center stack but its driving dynamics and equally if not slightly more supportive seats make it also a great car. If you like the Camry but not a fan of the looks, wait a month or two with their cosmetic changes - the front and back will look much nicer and give Honda little more of a struggle
POV: Camry fan😂😂
I finally understood why you guys in USA see those cars as boring, you buy the i4 version. If you want a i4 go buy a Civic/Corolla, the Camry and the Accord are meant to have a V6.
These guys are Canadian, at least the Honda guy is...3:39
the mazda 6 stylish! fun to drive and very good interior and exterior too !
Great review!
Back in 1993 my Nissan Maxima SE cost $22,000 and had a 190hp 3 liter V6 that averaged 22mpg. It was considered a 'sport' sedan and I got 0-60 in under 8 seconds. The steering was heaving and the wheels squealed when I took an off ramp too fast. These new 4 cylinder sedans are better in every way and cheaper relative to inflation.
Thank you so much for this review, just what i wanted to know!!
the accord has always been more stylish then the Camry, but the Camry mechanically is a better car then the accord.
Happy Honda Days was awesome to me. Bought an Accord & its really nice! #TeamHonda
everyone says that but I own a 02 G500 and a 02 323Ci both of which have over 150k miles. I have not spent anything on either aside from oil changes and routine service which takes little mechanic skills. Before buying make sure it has a long and complete service history and use common sense. Then you can enjoy a automobile that's engineered with more in mind than gas mileage and production cost. You don't have to break the bank to treat ourselves...
I just took delivery for a 2013 Camry. I drove a 2009 Kia Spectra for 4 years. HAD TO HAND CRANK THE WINDOWS AND NO LECTRIC LOCKS. NO CRUSE CONTROL EITHER.
wish me luck in my new BLACK 2013 CAMRY.
I have a Camry SE and its a great car
Me too... YES, ITS AWESOME 👍💯😇
I was looking at the accord but now I changed my mind to a Camry because the interior is much nicer and I know I'm going to spend a lot of time in the interior rather than the exterior
#EXCELLENT CHOICE 💥👍😇✋👌💯
6th generation(2007-2011) Camry is the best looking Camry out there. Hands down. I definitely want to go back to Toyota. But ill stick with my Accord for now.
XxSOulPimpaHoexX I recommend buying the 2010-2011 because it looks less boring and it has all automatic windows
I wanted to add, myself.. and other people that I deal with are not fans of direct injection for certain reasons.. including issues with intake valve deposit built up. It is a consideration in the future but it would have to be something like Toyota is developing where there is direct injectors working along side port ones in a 'hybrid' configuration. Others may be working on something like this but I'm not aware of it.
I hated my Toyota Camry...... AND my previous toyota corolla. But my 2014 EX-L is amaaaaaaaaazing!!!! Beautiful, great handling, great on gas and soooo many safety features.
As previous Camry owner, I suggest go with either Sonata or Optima. Much better design and features. Most definitely is the engine power that makes difference from Sonata with 200 HP vs Camry with 178 HP and it is easy to feel the difference though.
I prefer the sonata my mom test drove an optima ex and she hated she said that it was too sharp and the sears were uncomfortable but she also a sonata and she fell in love with it . I prefer the 2015 sonata ,2014 accord touring,fusion titanium, Altima 3.5 sl,
I meant seats not sears
Guys, try to act more natural, you both seem so stiff and controlled. Love your videos though and all the information you provide, keep up the good work. Smile once in a while....
Camry if you love rental cars.
Accord if you have a mind.
Buy Honda if you are not mature by Toyota if you are mature like a handsome man
The Camry XLE is standard with a Sunroof and is optional on the LE trim and SE trim what you talking about?
✔️💯👍
My personal car is 2013 honda accord and i drive a taxi 2013 camry You can even compare I'll give the camry performance 60% and style 27%. Accord performance 94% and style 92%
V
What Camry trim u have, to say style 27% it must be the Hybrid or The LE W nothing special inside that I think are not good looking, cuz I drive an SE and when it comes on quality, performance and exterior looking I would choose The Camry SE v6 all day...I'd say the accord has a beautiful dashboard well designed, other than that...Camry all Day
@@luimirondon2961 AMEÑ AMEN AMEN..I AGREE 💯👍😇...I OWN A BLACK 2/14.5 SE SPORT FULLY LOADED N I #LOVE IT ✔️👍💯😇🤗💚
2014.5
i only buy camry 2.5
the Accord is a better car overall. handles better, steers better, rides better, has better fuel economy, and exterior style is better as well.
In terms of interior styling is up to you.
pretty sure they know about the competition just fine. it's just that people prefer reliability over bells and whistles which is why camry is one of the top selling cars.
It all depends on what the driver is looking for. The Camry is for people that want a car that is easy to drive, quiet and comfortable. The Accord is for people that don't mind giving up some of that comfort for a more engaging experience. It's the same reason people choose Lexus or Mercedes vs. BMW. Also, the Camry costs less, and that is important to a LOT of people.
I love the Camry
The Camry only got acceptable and poor ratings in the small overlap test while the Accord got a good rating. So the Accord is safer!
but still ....
💯✔️👍😇
I drive a black 2014 Honda Accord Lx,I purchased it with 0 mile (5 mile) on december 24 after 15 days of research about Accord,Toyota and Nissan Altima.
Accord is the best.
When you get 60,000 miles on the Honda, I hope you will enjoy spending $1500 to replace the CVT transmission belt.
No, they made the transmissions better on the 2012-2017 models. That's actually the most reliable honda ever made
I have a 2015 accord with 105,000 miles
Spend so much to fix Honda Accord 2002.
No reliable honda come back to camry
How many Honda's do you see on CL with 200k+ miles. Honda has always played catchup to Toyota in reliability. FYI Toyota's manufacturing process is so efficient every car produced is $2500 cheaper than its competitors. Look it up.
Still outselling all of your faves lol.
Both are reliable cars but as a Camry driver i would prefer Accord because of its exterior and interior
Looks are subjective. I'm sure they designed the cars to appeal to the greatest number of people, which is why they're the best selling cars...otherwise, why would people buy them? I know first-hand because I have a Camry, and when it was purchased, I thought it looked pretty good. It's super practical, easy to drive and extremely cheap to maintain.
It's about personal preference. I have both vehicles. You can't go wrong with either one.
Toyotas are for people that dont want to think about cars. Unshakable reliability with little maintenance, form the timing chain to the shims that sit on top of the valves to the single belt that power ALL the accessories, but never curls your toes. VVTI is cool and it pulls but its too quiet. The 09 Camry SE is a sexy looking car but it rolls to much and its quiet, stiffen those shocks and put the noise of a 2JZ under the hood and a 6mt with about 30 more HP and you will truly have a LEGEND.
Camry XLE V6 is the best!
The Camry looks much better inside and out.
The accord they were testing was the touring trim level with a 3.5 liter v6 with a six speed auto. It is the only trim level with led headlights.
The Accord is a better car, but the Camry offers a hybrid option.
Yeah the accord has a hybrid version as well
Honda started making the accord hybrid again for 2014
For 2016 Honda stopped all hybrid production
They promised to bring it back for 2017 with an updated powertrain.
I've never seen a Toyota run over 500k miles. I've owned a Toyota. The word "reliable" doesn't fit it at all. It's still miles beyond Honda in terms of reliability.
toyota needs to up their game fast when their rivals are coming up with such nice cars like the new altima, mazda 6, optima, accord
Toyota camry is best.
There's a reason for the Camry feeling like a rental car - it's because it is one of the largest single car vehicles to be used in fleet applications.
I'd pick the Accord anytime.
In this part of the segment, Camry is Mercedes where as Accord is BMW. Camry is better for comfort especially at the rear due to it's "Surge" type of acceleration and comfortable suspension while an Accord has always been quite "Sporty" to drive with a revy engine and a sporty suspension.
I choose 2013 Honda Accord over 2013 Toyota Camry because of the IIHS small overlap crash tests, Accord gets highest "Good" rating while Camry gets worst "Poor" rating
Apart from a few details on the exterior, I think this newer Camry looks worse than the old one. The interior appears to be a huge improvement, though. To me, the Accord has a more upscale appearance, in part because they stole some styling cues from the Genesis (what? Honda stealing from Hyundai?!). The interior looks like it's going after a somewhat sportier look than the Camry's. Both are nice, but don't forget the Poor rating the new Camry got from the IIHS if safety is important to you.
I agreed with everything you said but the Hyundai part, i don't think the Honda took anything from Hyundai. But i do like the Genesis and Sonata Turbo.
Giordano Cerrano Well, I have to say, I am surprised by that. I just pulled up a picture of the back end and back three-quarter view of the 2009 Genesis and to me the new Accord looks A LOT like it. But I don't see that as a bad thing--it looks upmarket and the Genesis is a good-looking car in its own right.
I passed on both of them and Purchased a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited Turbo with panaramic roof, nav system, and red wine leather seats. Front and back are heated. Just cant beat that.
Let's not forget that the Accord is offered in a Coupe (2D) & Sedan (4D) whereas the Camry is not. I would've liked to see other comparisons such as crash ratings, long-term maintenance, etc. But all in all, it all comes down to personal preference. In my book, it's the Accord FTW.
The mechanics on TH-cam say the Honda has bad transmissions. Is that true.
The Accord is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than the camry hands down. Ive driven both vehicles and honestly the accord drives so much smoother than the camry. you feel under control and it is just an all around fun car to drive. The accord looks great, drives great, and you get so much more bang for your buck if you get the Accord! I recommend to every to buy the accord. Ive been driving an accord for 8 years and it has over 350,000 miles on it and it still runs like new. Hondas virtually run forever!
Funny you had the same feeling towards the es350 as me. I helped a friend drove the car home from the dealership and it was just boring. I couldn't wait to get back on my old 97 civic.
I'd go for the Camry V6 with JBL sound system
✔️💯👍
Your best value will be in the Camry SE. That would be my recommendation.
I AGREE, IF I DON'T WANT A CVT✔️💯😇👍
oh i like but which one?
