Replying to: motownusa (Jan 26, 2005 6:04 pm) The reason I picked the Camry over the accord was for the nicer ride, comfort, and quietness and not to race other cars. If I wanted to race other cars, my pick would be the Mustang or the Infiniti G35. I am not even going to get into the exterior looks department. |

I prefer a car that looks good, handles good, has a nice interior, is available with options AND a manual transmission, AND is extremely reliable. That's why I bought my Accord. No regrets. As nice as the Camry is it's just not my cup of tea. I have said it more than once. They appeal to different audiences. To say one is ugly is personal preference and really has no place in this forum. I happen to think the Camrys rear could be better along with the interior. That doesn't mean that there aren't some of you who love the Camry interior and rear-end styling. The average age is just that, an average. That doesn't mean that there won't be people who fall below or go above those averages. I was 19 when I bought my first new Accord and we bought a Honda Odyssey last year when I was 24. I would be willing to bet the average new Accord buyer isn't 19 and the average Odyssey buyer is probably a good bit older than 24. So take the average age data with a grain of salt but realize that an average is just that, an average. |

Many of us posting here are either Accord or Camry owners, or both. For instance, I have both, but only one of them is current model. It is natural for us to defend our own car, even its style. Obviously, whatever we say here is not going to change the car we've bought, and probably not our opinions either. However, what we say here can benefit the next potential Accord or Camry buyer, which I was just a couple of months ago. I did benefit from this and other forums, even though I was reasonably knowledgable of these cars. Alas, model year to model year, trim to trim, these cars change a lot. Every bit of information will be helpful. Most readers of this forum probably understand that opinions here are personal opinions. Collectively, he/she may deduce some useful information from. Non-factual data stated here are generally countered by other posters, which is healthy. There are "extremists" in many forums, and I think users would (and need to) learn placing doubts on those posts. Some statements has the potential to scare off someone weak-in-heart (Wild example: xx car's wheel will fall off in parking lots). To make the information more useful, I'd suggest that we state model and trim in comparisons, unless the information apply to all models and trims (most information probably won't apply across "generation" of models). I found that Accord DX and Accord V6 coupe, or base Camry LE and Solara (even V6 SE) appeal to very different markets, and have diffrent characters. I for one, think that Camry has more merit in one trim, but Accord is a step up in the other. If you are cross shopping, it would help to test drive the both models that you are trying to make a decision from and the trims close to that (decision is hard for many of us:-).

Replying to: alpha01 (Jan 26, 2005 8:13 am) The second purpose is to provide information for prospective buyers of both cars. Is there anything wrong with that? Some of these guys are bashing the Camry and the spoiler as ugly. Do you see any Camry owner getting upset? I suggest that we all debate the facts and figures like intelligent, civilized people, and stop harassing other posters. |
