I have a 2007 3.5Q Camry and a 2005 2.4VTi-L Accord. For power and speed I'd go with my Camry, but no fair since it's got a much bigger engine.

The Accord has better steering and handling than the Camry. Actually, my wife always compares its handling to our smaller BMW 120i. It's accurate and gives good feedback. I think the Camry's steering is a bit too light. Another thing you'll need to get used to with the Camry is its brakes. Man, nakakagulat! Kasi ang lalim, pagtapak mo akala mo wala tapos biglang wham lakas naman ng preno. I actually complained this to the dealer and they tested it and said there was nothing wrong with the brakes. Ganun daw talaga ang Camry!

The issue with the rear center console is actually quite common, as per my dealer's. Yung sa akin first week pa lang sira na. The dealer replaced the console but it took about a month and a half since they had to order the thing from overseas. TI think this was back in September 2006. Siguro, by now this has been rectified.

I don't know if the 2.4-liter version of the Camry has the same interior features as the 3.5Q's. The Camry's interior is a lot better than the Accord's. Like all seats are motorized (Accord's is driver's only). Curtains in the back. Aircon vents sa likod. Rear console audio and A/C controls. Ayoko lang nung kulay ng interior ng 2.4. The 3.5 has black interior. Tamad kasi siguro ako maglinis, hehehe.

Para sa akin, mas gusto ko styling ng Camry, loob at labas. Accord sa handling. But if you can stretch the budget, go for the 3.5Q.
