Replying to: cutedh (Jan 24, 2005 7:17 pm) The Camry's styling is OTH very agressive but cute and cool. It's peppy, smooth, quiet, solid... very close to the lexus LS430. After a few years, the Accord's seat fabrics and the plastic interiors would start to fade, cracked, flaked and peeled, but not the Camry. I have a Camry LE I4 that was parked outdoors for 16 years. The paint faded in spots but the seats and the plastic interiors are 100% intact. It's also in great shape with 250K miles with original engine and AT. Everything works fine in it. It cruises safely and comfortably at 90MPH. It's stable at high speeed even with original struts. I cannot ask for much more in a car. I was thinking of replacing engine and xmission mounts to make it smoother. The guys at the body shop told me they see a lot of Camry I4 with 400-500K miles still running strong, as owners still spend money fixing dents on them. My friend has a 10 years old Nissan Maxima whose seats and plastic interiors are all cracked and broken, including door panels and handles.It also has a bunch of other problems with the engine and transmission. The people who enjoy the Accord's rough ride and cheap interiors must be used to riding oxcarts in China...with genuine leather seats hehehehe

Neither is great-looking. The the new grill and tail lights on the 2005 Camry is an improvement, but the Camry still is NOT good-looking especially on the sides. The dashboard of the Camry looked dated even in 2002 and is only slightly better for 2005. The Mazda 6, Altima and Passat have better styling than either a Camry or Accord. What competing 2005 sedan DOESN'T have better exterior styling than a 2005 Camry or Accord? Only thing close is the new Galant. Exterior styling are the worst attributes of BOTH the Camry and Accord. Seems like they were in a contest to see who could out-ugly the other and there is no "winner." These are cars you buy for reliability and reputation and try to close your eyes to the appearance. If it wasn't for the quality reputation of Camrys and Accords that allow people to look past the styling, I think these would have both been sales disasters on the scale of the Pontiac Aztek. It is a waste of time trying to debate which is the worst-styled of these two. |

One person's beauty is another's beast. Unless you park near a window and gaze at your car all day, choose the car with what you think has the best interior because that's what you'll be looking at most of the time. When I was shopping for an '04 car, the Accord EX-L sedan (black leather) had the classiest interior of any mid-sized car I tested, so that's the car I bought. No regrets.....Richard |
