Replying to: ktnr (Jan 12, 2005 5:21 pm) That could very well be that Camry "cuts more corners" on lower trim levels, but I guess I wasn't interested in them anyway. The one deal breaker for me (very subjective, I know) was the looks of the Accord. I don't like it from the front at all and the trunk doesn't look the best to me. I think it's great that the companies are so competitive that we all win Whether you want a better ride or better handling, you can--hopefully you like the look of the car (if that matters) whose options you want.

Replying to: moeharri (Jan 12, 2005 5:40 pm) if they could put the accord seats in the camry then you would have the perfect car....but that slight is probably just another way that toyota is cutting corners. jmho
#1897 of 2806 My opinion by htt Jan 12, 2005 (9:24 pm)
I owned a '96 Camry V6 LE. My sister-in-law has a '98 Camry V6 LE which I drive occasionally. Both drive like a boat. That's why I'm a proud owner of a '04 Accord EX V6. My Camry wasn't nearly bullet proof. Things started to break after 5-6 years.
#1898 of 2806 Thank Camry owners by ktnr Jan 13, 2005 (5:08 am)
It occurred to me this morning that I have so many Camry owners to thank for the great price I got on my 2005 V6 Accord. If the Camry weren't so popular (along with the Altima, Mazda 6 and Chevy Malibu), demand for the Accord would have had me paying near MSRP for my car.   Likewise, my buying an Accord helped save you some money on buying your Camrys. Funny how that works, isn't it?

Replying to: lmkwin (Jan 11, 2005 6:46 pm) Some comments from an 03 Accord LX owner:   "the key on the accord is huge." The key fob on the Accord is one of the features I love. I don't need to carry a keyring. It also lets me roll down all windows from a distance, in summer to cool down the interior   "mileage on the 05 camry is better than the 03 accord" The 4 cyl Accord is rated higher than the 4 cyl Camry, similar for the V6s.   "the cup holders are better in the camry" IMHO, the cup holders in the Accord are far better, as they are spring loaded and will hold any size cup tightly and without vibrations.   "the arm rest is bigger and more accessible to driver/passenger sharing it" The armrest in the Accord is far better, it slides out towards the console, so that you can easily rest your arm on it. Try it.   "the door locks are better. the accord has them on the top of the door. riding with your elbow on the window sill puts that button right in your elbow" I don't think you every kept your elbow on an Accord windowsill, because you would never, never touch the button with your elbow, its so far back. Again, try it.   Auto door locks is a good feature on the Camry, so is the larger trunk. I have folded down the seat ( love the seat being lockable, makes a very secure trunk) and never had a problem with what you call a 'mega' key.   Some of the other features I like in the Accord are the ride, seats, interior (IMO better quality plastics), the great gas mileage and the looks from the front. The rear is okay, but I don't hate it as many others do. Replies to this message: ktnr (Jan 13, 2005 5:07 pm)

Oh yeah???? Well....I don't like the shade of silver Honda chose for the Accord. It's too blue, like an old lady's hairdo.
#1901 of 2806 Auto door locks! by carzzz Jan 13, 2005 (1:36 pm)
IMO, auto door locks is nice feature, however, I would think it has its downside. It is great feature to prevent carjackers. What would happen if a person is locked in a crash? Replies to this message: alpha01 (Jan 13, 2005 2:23 pm)

Replying to: carzzz (Jan 13, 2005 1:36 pm) Whats your point. You can crash any car with its doors locked? And you can reprogram the locks on the Camry to not lock automatically, if you so choose.   ~alpha

Replying to: 03accordman (Jan 13, 2005 12:35 pm) "I don't think you every kept your elbow on an Accord windowsill, because you would never, never touch the button with your elbow, its so far back."   I think that depends on how tall the driver is (and thus how far back the seat is). Personally, I never drive with my left arm hanging out the window but, if I did, my Accord's door lock button would be in the way and I'm only 6'1".   Anyway, I too like the Accord's ignition key. Vastly preferable to having a separate keyfob and yet much smaller than the oversized VW "switchblade" style keys.

"You can crash any car with its doors locked?" Yes it might, but I usually would not lock the door, unless i see "strangers" are walking toward my direction, I will unlock right after i get away from them   Does the TOYOTA CAMRY auto-lock is able to auto unlock during/after the accident? Oh... that's too bad   Your thoughts are logical, but that's does not mean my driving-habit is not valid... It is great to correct someone's mistake! Here is an open-mind discussion forum! It would be great that everyone shares thoughts and ideas freely, without being criticized!
