Camry 2.4v or 3.5q

[jasonub]

Mga Bros given a choice same price at let's say same year and condition.

Will u buy a 3.5 or a 2.4v? Will be used as an everyday car. Makati paranaque lang.

Malaki difference ng fuel consumption?

Thanks

I guess when dealing with midsize cars, fuel consumption is not much of a concern anymore. Maybe you're considering 1 km/L difference between the 4-banger against the V6 but the V6 will offer better performance.

I'd go with the TOTL 3.5Q model. There is no replacement for displacement.

Go 3.5Q already. FC of the 3.5Q will be more in traffic but it won't be a bank breaker or night and day difference if you're comparing it to the 2.4 IMO.

POWERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

But it should be similar, if its the previous camry, the V6 has a 6SP to the I4's 5SP tranny. That should improve economy a bit.
The other issue is parts, but there are many V6 camry's anyway

I have a camry 2.0 eating about 6.8 kms per liter 4 speed auto. Had an accord 2.4 eating 5.7 kms per liter 5 speed auto. So is it safe to assume same lang kain ng 2.4 accord to the 2.4 Camry?

If so the 3.5 will eat 4.7? Parang expedition?

Basically, yes.

A 2.4 Camry is close in terms of economy to a 2.0... around 6-7 km/l in traffic.

The 3.5 is between 4-6 km/l... better than an Expedition naman (around 3-4).

1-2 km/l means little... on the highway.

In the city, a 1-2 km/l difference is 20-40% more gas. Prepare to spend a lot more per trip.

There's a reason why, secondhand, the prices of the 2.4 and 3.5 are very close, even if the 3.5 was hundreds of thousands more when they were new.

I had a Camry 2.4V, and it did 4-5km/l in normal Manila traffic..

On a route that bad, you would be seeing 3's from the 3.5.

What was your average speed, then? 5 km/h?

My standard route is from Dilliman-Q. Ave-Espana-Sta. Cruz. My Fort 3.0 does 6.8 km/l. Also my Montero Sport GLS does 7.8 km/l on the same route... Got rid of the Camry after 3 years.

How about an 8th gen Accord (2008-2013) 3.5L V6? It has VCM technology that shuts off 3 of its cylinders on low rpms. So, it's like running on 3 cylinders in slow crawling traffic and firing up 6 cylinders on the highway. The 8th gen Accord is more like the Camry than the previous generations. It has grown bigger in dimensions (interior/exterior) compared to the 7th gen but still kept its sporty handling with its double-wishbone front/rear suspension.

Yes Egan thank you im also considering it. Do you know its fc actual compared to the 2.4 accord 8th gen?

I would get the 3.5Q without even thinking... Its more loaded so its more value. No one buys a mid-size sedan with too much concern for fuel economy...

[SiRbossR]

3.5Q is the car to buy

If gas mileage is no problem for you, definitely 3.5. If prices for both are similar, that's more value for money.

And then again, if your route does not allow you to open up the throttle and enjoy the benefits of a V6 engine, you might as well get the 2.4, which would be just as comfortable and enjoy the improved gas mileage instead. From my experience with the 7th gen Accord 2.4 and 3.0, in typical, mundane, low speed Metro Manila city driving, there is hardly any difference in the way it drives at all.

Since ang route nyo is makati paranaque, at papunta at pauwi lang ang gamit,

3.5Q na kunin, tipid sya pag sa highway driving, pero pag makati area na or paranaque na traffic area..
medyo malakas na ang FC, (V6)

kung may mga certain appointments, medyo madalas gamitin ang sasakyan,
2.4 engine, practical efficient sa FC..


Nakapag-drive na po ako ng 2.4E na camry, very efficient..

[jasonub]

Gti and playplug very good answers.

I had small chats with my neighbors in BF Homes who frequent the suki carwash in front of the subdivision. One dude (late 30s) drives a 2.4L 8th gen Accord while another (in his 40s) drives a 3.5L Accord V6 (also 8th gen). Both say they could do 7-8 km/L on normal driving conditions from Sucat to Makati. I guess the VCM stuff on Honda's J35 engine does help in FC as it offers about the same FC with Honda's K24 engine. I told them they are luckier as my old 6th gen can only do 6-7 km/L.

Right on! With all its features and bigger engines, you might as well enjoy the ride and worry less on FC. Though with the new Mazda6 SkyActiv, you enjoy the good stuff midsize cars offer plus the benefit of decent FC.

Accord if driving, if passenger, Camry.

There are few more options available. The 2nd gen Mazda6 2.5L (2009-2012) is cheaper in the used market compared to the Camry or Accord, plus it looks sleeker than both. If you want a more comfortable ride (assuming you have a chauffeur), you can also check out the Teana (with its lazy boy-like seats in the back). If you want a more sporty midsize, then go with the Legacy GT (but these ones are still 1M in the used market).
