Just got rid of my 15 yo Camry with 160,000 miles. It was mever going to die, I just didn’t want to drive it anymore. It sold for $1500–not bad considering.

I think if someone is looking for a mid-size sedan these are the two most cost effective options. Many people don't want to spend (or waste) an extra $10k to get something "cool".

Right. If you value value, then you will feel like an asshole every time you get into your “cool” car.

I am of this mindset. I need to buy a car in the next few months, and every time I look at something more luxury, or sportier, or most luxurious, or whatever, I balk at the price. I can't justify the extra $10k+. I'm in the car 30 minutes a day, my wife has a nicer car for family use and weekend trips, and there are so, so many things I'd rather do with the extra money.

Toyota.

+1 Toyota cars have a much softer, more comfortable ride.

Honda cars feel more lightweight and cheap.

Please go test drive and let us know because I have the same question. I like Toyota interior and Honda's exterior.
Might go with Mazda6 after all that. Cheaper and has served me well.

Toyota.

Test drive both. If still unsure, test drive from one dealer over to the other. Park side-by-side and really compare everything. We did this with Odyssey and Sienna (ended up with Odyssey, but probably would have been happy going the other way as well).

Ha! I own both and I couldn’t agree with you more!
They are two of the most boring cars made. However, they both run flawlessly.
I have 30,000 miles on my Accord and 145,000 miles on my Camry. Never a problem, other than routine maintenance on either one.
But boring as hell.

Very comparable, but most people prefer one over the other. Test drive both. I like Toyota but you can't go wrong either way.

toyota>>>honda

Lately it seems that Toyota has had an edge over Honda in reliability and total cost of ownership.

If you aren't picky, and don't have a reason to favor one over the other, which is my assumption since you are posting the question here, I'd lean toward the Camry just for this reason.

Depending on your situation, you might consider a Corolla, actually. They're bigger than they were twenty years ago. More like a mid-size than the compact they used to be. You may have good reason to want the space, though.

Not a car expert, but I think they are pretty comparable in reliability, historically speaking. I'd test drive both and see which one you prefer.

Which one?
