90's Mid Sized Sedan - Feedback for Coding Car

[Egan101]

My main objective for getting this second car is to move my family around in long trips comfortably, and the executive sedan styled cefiro and camry seem to meet this objective more than the sport oriented accord or galant. A MPV /CUV is out of the question because of budget considerations and I find the ride quality really harsh. We go home to Bulacan from Cavite several times a month and I am hoping to make the trip more comfortable for my passengers as well as myself who will be doing most of the driving lol.



The more info I get, the more I am leaning towards the Cefiro / Camry. Will be looking at a few cars soon, thank you gentlemen for helping me narrow down my choices. Now the new challenge is to find a base model Cefiro or Camry. As sir Egan said decades old electronics are something I should be avoiding which is something I also learned from personal experience.

I think the base model Cefiro is tagged as "Elite" while the more luxurious model is the "Brougham". If you can get your hands on the A33 model (2003-2006) at a bargain price, it is a better deal. It has a sleeker design and a retuned VQ20 engine (more power). It also has a more executive look. However, despite its boxy appearance, the A32 has this refined masculine look.

I don't have much information on the Camry as I only know a few folks who had the Camry models during the turn of the century (1998-2002) but I can remember it comes with a 2.2L 4-banger engine. The 2003 Camry model became more popular locally. It came in 3 engine options (2.0L 4-cylinder, 2.4L 4-cylinder, 3.0L V6). The 2003 model was bigger than its previous generation, which was smaller and much like the 6th gen Accord in dimensions.
