[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look for a Camry from 2012-2017.  That’s the 7th generation Camry.  2017 is the last year with the super reliable 6 speed automatic transmission .  After that they switched to an & speed that has received a lot of complaints.  2017’s should be coming off lease now.  If I was in the market for a used car I’d get a 2017 Camry with 36k miles just off lease and not an Accord, some of which has CVT’s.[/quote]

The 2.0/faster Accord isn't a CVT, or if it is, it doesn't drive like one. We had both and the 2.0 is pretty quick. Not Kia Stinger quick, but will easily best any of the Genesis sedans competing.

The interior feels a little cheap and it's a mainstay family sedan. It's not a luxury car or sports car disguised as a sedan. If you want something a little faster and less vanilla, the new Mazda 6 has an upgraded engine (can't remember the trim level, but huge improvement over the baseline/previous years' lackluster 165hp-ish engines).

I will say the Accord's interior is incredibly spacious and comfortable. More so than a lot of compact SUVs. You aren't going to find another sedan with that much room without moving up to an Audi A6 or similar. But then that's a whole different conversation.

I guess it comes down to what's most important for you, OP. Price, wow-factor, performance, reliability? The upgraded-engine Accord is about the best combo of those you're going to find. [/quote]
