2008 Honda Accord or Toyota Camry

[ryan]

I just read a copy of the latest Top Gear magazine where they featured the new Accord. I think its already Philippine spec accord since the shoot was done on local roads. So I think the new Accord should be coming very soon.

If you were to choose between the two models, which one would you want more?

Anyone know the specs/pricing of the Accord? I'm curious and like to compare it with the Camry which is an excellent car already for me.

i havent seen yet the new accord..but its going to be the accord for me...

i was a proud owner of the accord before....sisi nga ako bakit ko binenta eh...

The new Accord really looks promising surely it will give the Camry a run for it money. The new VCM 643 looks promising too....

The Toyota Camry is super reliable. The ride is really smooth, and the transmission lasts for a lifetime.

The Honda Accord is sporty, smooth, but it is known for transmission problems.

hmm.. well, I guess that you need to go check out both cars in person and do a test drive (do they offer Test Drives on NEW cars in the Philippines???), check out their pricing (who gotz the most BANG! for the buck) and then decide on what car you want to buy.

but then for me of course, I would choose a Camry. hehee, siyempre meron ako eh! lolz! it has everything that me and my wifey needs. we have an '07 SE V6 w/ the 6 speed Auto w/ sport shift. and I tell you, the Camry is pretty fast (specially for its class.. and I already pushed mine to 145 MPH easy), it shifts smooth and it handles very well, it is stable on high speeds and the brakes are pretty strong and well distributed.

also, the interior space on the Camry is good. its very spacious, it has a lot of leg & head room, specially the rear seats. and the Ergonomics, HVAC's, & Stereo system is easy to use and its not cluttered.

anywayz, we already put about 17K Miles on our Camry (its already a Year old) but it still feels the same when we first bought it w/ only 4 Miles. and the only worn out parts on the car so far is the stock tires and some 'lil scratches on the front & rear bumpers.. but thats normal though.


aite, peace.

Please add the new Mazda 6 to the comparo as well. But I think they will offer it in 2.5L variant only.

I think I should try to test drive them soon

the 2.4L is priced at around 1.6M+ and the 3.5L V6-VCM is at around 1.9M+. mas mahal sa camry ung 2.4L pero mas mura ung V6 nito kaysa sa camry. i think toyota is becoming too overpriced.
it's larger than the camry. americans can't classify this accord as a compact. its wheelbase is 2800mm, which is 100mm longer than that of the pilot and the civic.

This would be my order of preferrence:

3rd Accord
2nd Mazda 6
1st Camry

[Type 100]

the 2.4L is priced at around 1.6M+ and the 3.5L V6-VCM is at around 1.9M+. mas mahal sa camry ung 2.4L pero mas mura ung V6 nito kaysa sa camry. i think toyota is becoming too overpriced.

Because it's NOT a compact. It's a midsize car.

Technically, under US guidelines, the dimensions of the Accord make it a large car---definitely NOT compact
