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.

True. The problem is that the Camry and Accord are not comfortable cars. People buy them for their reliability not the comfort. The seats are typically crap. The car interior is made of cheap material. |

I could never buy a Camry. It feels like I'm in a taxi. |

The most Ironic thing about foreign cars and reliability is stuff like what owner of Redskins does. He owns multiple expensive foreign cars. But on game day or when he has a board meeting or something he can't risk a breakdown he owns a new Cadillac and has a chauffeur.
Ironic isn't it? My coworker will only own a Japanese car. But prom night, weddings, funeral processions when you can't afford a break down always a Limo either Cadilac or Lincoln. In realty most cars are now reliable so just buy what you wa t |

| We have both. I prefer the Honda hands-down, BUT if the Toyota has changed in the last 8 years or so then that could change. The only thing better about the Camry is that it as better leg room for tall drivers. Otherwise, the Honda is much more zippy/drives better and is more comfortable. To each is own. |

| On looks alone, Accord beats Camry. Plus only old people drive Camrys. |

If you think people take Cadillac limos for special occasions because they "can't risk a breakdown" and not because they want to be seen in a Cadillac limo on a special occasion, you're genuinely unintelligent. |

Camry and Accord are equivalent on most metrics, so it's going to be a personal choice.
Visit both, sit in them, test drive them. If you don't have a strong preference on "feel", some other things to factor in: - What price is each dealer willing to give you for the features you want? - If you need financing, what are the terms? - If you plan on having maintenance done at the dealer, which is more convenient? Location, hours, scheduling, and availability of loaner cars. |

Screw it, I'll bite. What sedan would you recommend for someone looking to keep a car for 10 years, only use it as a commuter/grocery getter, and has a budget of around $20k? This should be good... |

This is dumb even by DCUM standards. LOL. |

| We have a 2015 Accord and have been very happy with it. At the time, it was Consumer Reports' top pick for sedans and we liked it when we test drove, so we didn't bother trying the Camry. |

I have a 2011 CTS, I bought it used in late 2012. It has never broken. I changed the original tires last year only cause I got talked into it because of possible dry rot. Other than the four tires I have zero repair bills. I change the oil once a year when I get a coupon. I owned a five series, it was reliable but plain old maint like tires, oil changes, batteries were sky high in price. I owned a Camry and when it broke foreign parts were extra. The reality is small Kias, Hyundai, Chevys etc have a bad rap as older folk compare 2018 Toyotas and Hondas to the lemons they owned back in 1990s. The reality is in 2018 car reliability is pretty much a given in most brands. Buy what you want. The premium charged by Toyota or Honda is no longer worth it. |
