I owned 2009 Honda accord exl and had2011 campy le rental for a week and drove 700 miles. I agree with what smarty 666 that camry is very quiet and smooth. I am amazed how quiet the car is even with 4cyl. The suspension is also pretty soft making the ride quite plush. The steering however doesn't give much feedback. But for practical purpose it's a more comfortable car for long distance traveling. Accord seat has more lateral support but the bottom cushion is a bit hard which maybe uncomfortable after 3+hour.

We ended up buying the 2011 Camry. I hope it performs well over time. I do miss my Accord, but then again, I get attached to cars!

I just made the decision and so far (500 miles) I am very happy with it. Drove 2011 Accord, Altima and Camry. I liked the long sloping hood of the Honda but couldn't take the dashboard clutter. The Altima engine seemed to strain during acceleration. The real clincher was when a friend who manages a Hertz dealership advised me that the Camry is the best car in it's class. He drives / processes hundreds of cars each year and I relied upon his expertise. This particular Hertz location also has an 'open to the public' car maintenance facility so they are privy to every conceivable car quirk. The other neat thing about the 4cy engine is that it comes with 0-W20 full synthetic oil and the change interval is 10,000 miles. In closing I say that the XLE is the finest car I have owned. My opinions.
