Replying to: maxamillion1 (Sep 18, 2008 12:20 am) Check that out, it may be what you're looking for; it's a Car and Driver Comparo. For what it is worth, the Motor Trend comparison I referenced in my previous post had the Malibu and the Accord accelerating at the same rate to 60 MPH. Other tests I've seen put the Malibu slightly faster (by about 2 tenths of a second). The Camry is simply the fastest family car in the $25,000 category. |

Replying to: lucky_777 (Sep 18, 2008 6:54 am) Right now I think Malibu and Sonata are 1-2 in stopping distances, although the Sonata has the slimest margin over the 3rd place Camry. I can't give you fastest even w/ better tires. Passat and Altima stand in as much faster sprinters. I would argue the Sonata has the smoothest ride but certainly a better set of tires could improve the already smooth Camry.

Replying to: lucky_777 (Sep 18, 2008 6:54 am) So you're saying we should overlook it, and give Toyota a pass for cheaping out? I disagree. We don't have to make excuses for everyone else, and Toyota, typically one of the most expensive options out there, CERTAINLY shouldn't get them. I can't help but notice you said "4-cyl Camry is the fastest...". Um, with the lowest-in-class horsepower, it just isn't; regardless of Toyota's cost-cutting on tires or not. Braking/Acceleration 170ft from 70 MPH, 8.9 sec to 60 MPH. Camry 169ft from 70 MPH, 8.2 sec to 60 MPH. Accord 168ft from 70 MPH, 7.8 sec to 60 MPH. Altima 170ft from 80 MPH, 8.7 sec to 60 MPH. Malibu

Replying to: thegraduate (Sep 18, 2008 5:19 pm) Edmunds Road Tests Comparison Test: 2008 Four-Cylinder Family Sedans http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=124091 "Life in Camryland isn't all bad, though. It turns a tighter circle at 36.1 feet than either the Accord at 37.7 feet or Malibu at 40.4 feet, making it less stressful to maneuver in crowded areas. The Toyota also stopped the shortest from 60 mph at 122 feet." "the four-cylinder Toyota Camry is quick relative to its competition. Our LE test car's 8.9-second 0-60-mph time is tops for this group, as is its 16.9-second quarter-mile at 82.3 mph (though the Accord, which has 19 more horsepower, nearly closed the gap)." Most likely your numbers are for old generation Accord that was quicker then this year model. Altima wasn't part of edmunds review.
