My wife used to have a civic couple bought at 60-70K, changed water pump, etc, drove to 120K+ miles w/o engine problem, touched up and sold at bought price.
I used to own 2000 corolla VE, at 30K it had nitrigen sensor failure, wasted $300 and sent back to dealer for free replace, I see a few people has the problem. On 100K the engine started to have pop sound like axis loose, yet still droves perfect. Got 35miles/G avg at a round trip to Lake Tahoe(inc. city). This car has no other problem, battery never changed and I sold it out.
Just went to see Camry 2008, this 2007 new model has very cheap trim, on passage side you can see edges of plastic sheet, seat space is very small due to shaped front board. Green plastics panel are used for controls and looks like 70S radio. head aig bag are contained in rect thick frames that blocks your view. Anyway, I heard the safety has top grades. I got a very good price and ready to buy, yet my wife say no.
Then went to Accord 2008. Trim is much better, old model (2007) also good. Camry old model (2006) has better trim than its 2007-8 model. Accord price is at least $1000 higher than Toyota.
I'll see Altima soon, anybody can tell Nission's reliability and durability? For civic/accord/corolla/camry, durability and very sale value is very good. Altima may be not. Who knows Altima 2.5S deal price in silicon valley? Thanks.

For Altima pricing, you'll want to stop by the Altima Prices Paid and Buying Experience discussion.

The one thing I like in CR is the customer's problems with their cars by showing the results with the back or red dots. It seems only the Asians have had no problems with their transmissions with the exception of 2 years on the Accord, Odyssey & Acura. (2002-2003).
 
We have a 2000 Honda Accord and it, too, was in the transmission class action lawsuit years (along with the 99 or 01s). It seems the Asians (Honda/Toyota) prefer class action lawsuits instead of fixing things for customers - thus the class action suits against Honda for transmissions and against Toyota for engine sludge problems. I believe the 07/08 Toyotas may have some class action suits for their 6 speed transmissions, as well. I hope they fixed the problems for the 09 Toyotas, but would be against it.

The March 2008 edition of Car and Driver magazine has a 7-way 600 mile comparision road test of four cylinder versions of family sedans. (Yes, I know, this is a six cylinder forum)
 
The Accord topped the Altima, Malibu, Sonata, Camry, Fusion and Avenger in that order.

"Can you read that review online?"
 
My March issue arrived in today's mail. It probably won't be on the news stands until a couple of weeks from now. It will then show up on Car and Driver's website a week or so later. They don't want to cannibalize magazine sales by having articles online too soon.

One thing you must always keep in mind on any comparison in a publication such as Motor Trend or Car and Driver is the fact that they will never be negative towards the people who pay their bills (i.e. Honda advertiser). An editor would never want to risk losing a revenue stream. With this in mind their evaluations tend to be a little biased.

In a seven-way comparo, six of the seven "revenue stream" advertisers don't win the top spot.
