2008 Accord or 2007 Camry

[powertool]

Sir, in my opinion, stick w/ the V (1.646m)variant P215k difference from the G (1.431m) variant. if you have seen the V variant, ma-turn off kana sa G (base model).

for P215k difference you have th ff:
leather seats beige din (fabric na dumihin beige color)
rear electronic sunshade (G manual sunshade)
tri color optitron guage (G -optitron not tri color)
8 way power front seats
2 way rear reclining electronic seats
cruise control
immobilizer (G - alarm only)

hope this helps.

and if you decide on the Camry, pila na kayo. months yata waiting time for a unit.

i've seen the accord, interior wise panalo camry, ang gusto ko lang sa accord, yun buttons (for audio) nya sa steering wheel hindi naka usli unlike the camry na ma pindot mo accidentally. while maneuvering. i hope you understand what i mean .

my choice, 2.4V Camry over the Accord.

i have to agree, the 2.4v's amenities are well worth the P215k difference and add immeasurably to the luxurious ambience of the car. just to correct, the 2.4v doesn't have tri-color optitron gauges as stated in toyota's brochure. there's supposed to be a button on the left hand side of the instrument cluster to change the color but it is missing on my car...no big deal since it is kind of a cheesy feature for this class.

my current gas mileage city driving (alone most of the time) varies from 5-7km/l. ride is good and handling stable (though i haven't had the chance to really cane it on a twisty stretch yet). my main beef still has to do with the interior squeaks and rattles that have cropped up so soon (1400+kms). there are also some ergonomic flaws (small, unlit central power lock button, inaccessible power mirror controls, oddly angled power window switches blocked by arm rest grab handle) and the engine is smooth but underwhelming (acceleration can best be described as "deliberate").

if you have the means, get a 3.5L version. i doubt it will use that much more fuel (it might even be more economical since the engine can easily cope with the car's weight, which means less mashing of the gas pedal) and the keyless start/stop button adds exotic eurocar sophistication in a car less than half, or even a third the price of similarly sized/equipped euro marques).

still and all, if honda's '08-'09 accord matches the looks of the current camry, i would swap cars in a heartbeat...honda's engineering sophistication (double wishbone vs struts, VTEC variable valve timing AND lift control vs VVTI variable valve timing), excellent build quality and peerless ergonomic excellence trumps toyota in my book. now if only honda stylists could catch up with their engineers...
