I still fail to understand the "superiority" of the Accord compared to the Malibu from that article. It was barely faster and returned worse mileage despite a 200 lbs weight advantage and a 5 spd auto. I guess steering feel is enough to make it the winner. When the Malibu gets the six speed, it'll get faster and return even better mileage leaving the Accord behind

Replying to: chavis10 (Jan 02, 2008 1:00 pm) Keep in mind that there is more to a vehicle than its test numbers. I don't care too much for the 2008 Accord (and I'm a 2006 Accord owner myself) but don't knock it 'til you've tried it. I am surprised by the fuel economy numbers since I beat the OLD epa estimate numbers daily; the new ones are incredibly low.

| I keep being baffled by all the comparos that use the Camry LE. Why not the SE? It'd fit in the budget, and would be more to their liking. | |

Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 02, 2008 1:07 pm) With the available 190 HP I4 and the upcoming diesel engine I don't see the Malibu leaving the Accord behind. |

I've driven all three cars and I find the Malibu the best of the three. The Accord high revving engine is noisy when you floor the gas pedal for passing, the Malibu is quitter than both the Camry and Accord. The styling is nicer with the Malibu. The ride is better with the Malibu. Why the Accord is rated better is beyond me!! Incidentally, I know more about cars than the average person and maybe more than those who rated these three cars.
