Toyota Camry or Honda Accord?

[Anonymous]

Last Toyota I had died at 375k miles, so I'm partial to Toyotas. Camry and Accord are extremely similar, though they both ride/handle quite a bit differently.

Wrong how? What's important to you is not necessarily important to me. I couldn’t care less what I’m driving to work as long as its comfortable. Bumper to bumper traffic is boring no matter what you drive and I’ve driven pretty much the entire spectrum.

If you're stuck in traffic, you want a comfortable car. So need something with ergonomic, supportive seats. For DMV roads you want something with a soft suspension. Thick doors/windows to isolate yourself from the outside world.

I get not wanting to spend money on a car, depreciating asset and all that. Consider it an investment in your comfort.

I am in the car for about 30-40 minutes per day, and, my Honda is more than comfortable enough for me.

What you are missing, and I'm not the PP, FWIW, is that I, and many others, rarely (if ever) derive happiness because of the car I'm driving. My happy moments in a car derive from listening to a great podcast, getting an anticipated phone call, finding an unexpected break in traffic. I can't think of any time my live would have improved if I had a nicer car.

Both are incredibly dull.

My Mercedes is 10 years old but still makes me feel happy every day. That has to be worth something.

If you owned a real car you would feel different.

Pfft, Porsche is so common and reliable. An expensive Italian brand is the true mark of the adventurous. That or a Range Rover.

I love the fact that you are getting uppity over a 10 yo car.

Have you ever been in an expensive car? Driven one? Because your description is about as useful as a deaf person's opinion on Mozart. There are people with nice cars on this thread telling you the difference. They have knowledge you don't. Respond to that.

The Accord looks better and has the all leather option available so I'd go for it over the Camry. But they're both excellent cars.

The “people with expensive cars” in this thread are too brain dead to realize OP has a budget. So maybe rather than opining about how crappy Toyotas are, they can offer up comparably priced alternatives.

But that wouldn’t allow them to look down their nose from their decade old Mercedes that no one is impressed by.

No really. Base prices...

Camry - $23k
Accord - $23k
Civic - $19k
Sonota - $19k
Optima - $23k
Malibu - $22k

Resale value is much higher and depreciation is less for Honda and Toyota.

It’s a question of budget and personal utility. Some people really don’t care about what they drive as long as it works. Really, it’s true. People are not all the same!
