Replying to: dolfan1 (Apr 23, 2008 2:01 pm) To answer your question, NO, Toyota has not yet fixed the transmission issues ("flaring"--spiking of the RPM's when changing gears) with the Camry. The 2007, 2008, and 2009 Camrys all still have the same transmission and software and it is very possible to still get one that has a "flare" more than 2 years after Toyota found out about the problem and has basically done nothing except give the run around. Believe me, it is very frustrating and it gets worse over time. Many users report having multiple transmission replacements and that doesn't work either.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Apr 23, 2008 4:14 pm) Wow, you trust Hyundai over Nissan?   Welllllllllllllllllllllll, I know that sounds wierd....even to me. I have had some Infinitis in the past though, and as they aged over 80,000 miles, I had problems, leaks, noises from the engine...... Now, a Hyundai may do worse, so perhaps I should take back my comment. I should say, I trust Honda more than Nissan OR Hyundai, but the Accord "Feels" smaller inside, even if it isn't...... To me, anyway. Replies to this message: bug4 (Apr 24, 2008 10:27 am) nvbanker (Apr 25, 2008 1:10 pm)

Replying to: moeharri (Apr 23, 2008 5:30 pm) Man, that's amazing. I'll certainly be very cautious before considering a Toyota in the future.

Replying to: nvbanker (Apr 24, 2008 8:48 am) I test drove the Camry lots before I purchased an Accord. I think what you are feeling in the interior volume is the very bolstered seats in the Honda. IMHO, they make the interior feel smaller because they really hug you into your seat. The Camry has much less contoured seats that allow you to wiggle and move more freely. Although I like the seats in the Honda, they are small enough and bolstered enough to give the car a less luxurious and more sporty feel. I think that makes for a nice test drive. But, frankly, I'm not sure that is what the majority of owners would prefer in the long-term. Replies to this message: nvbanker (Apr 25, 2008 1:10 pm)

#2769 of 2806 Safety comparisons by furrycute Apr 25, 2008 (1:38 pm)
Have you guys looked at the crash test scores of the current generation Camry and Accord? The Camry is rated 5 out of 5 for both front and rear side impact. The accord is rated 5 out of 5 for front, but only 4 out of 5 for rear side impact.   Just in terms of safety, this kind of turns me away from the Accord.

Replying to: furrycute (Apr 25, 2008 1:38 pm) Just keep in mind that the stars don't indicate something like:   5-stars - ultimate safety 1 star - certain death It's not quite like that.   The spread between a 4-star car and a 5-star car isn't going to be terribly drastic, is all I'm saying. If you are hit in a different spot or angle, one the Accord might would come out on top. When the discrepancy is so small as to say the difference is 5/5 and 5/4, I wouldn't let it sway me. I drive an old 4 star frontal car, and have been into a guardrail at decent speeds thanks to a truck which ran me off into it while on a bridge ( a nightmare scenario to me! ). I walked away unhurt, and had the car fixed. Replies to this message: nvbanker (Apr 27, 2008 1:56 pm)
