Camry, Accord or Civic

[Rediesel]

2007 Toyota Camry LE (2.4 I4) or 2006 Honda Accord LX (2.4 I4)or 2006 Honda Civic EX (1.8 I4), all are A/T only.

all of them can be had for 20K below, which would you choose for a 2nd car?

main considerations why these are the only choices are reliability and residual value.

actually, I chose the Civic. getting it by the end of the month.

If it's a second car, you probably don't need the space, Civic for me.

But the Camry and Accord are great choices, and very comfortable cruisers... are you sure you can get the 06' models for under 20k? That's madness!

[basti08]

it would depend on what is your first car...

but from the choices alone, i take the Accord.

[Rediesel]

yup $20K including destination charges, of course it does not include sales tax.

1st car is a CRV.

have you guys seen the 2007 Camry looks more Lexus than Toyota.

Camry looks nice, looks like the Avalon. Actually I'm in a market for a new car too, the 06 Civic or the 06 Mazda 3, then just yesterday I test drove the 06 Accord LX Special Edition, it has the standard features of an EX with out the EX price. LX Spl Ed cost around 21K, here in my place they have the 06 Accord LX for $18,995 naka red tag sale. Also rumors has it that there will be an all new 07 Accord by the end of this year.

IMO, three cars are reliable.

In terms of resale value, I'll get the Civic or Camry since both are all new body models, depreciation prices will be tapered for a few years before any major changes.

In terms of comfort, I'll get the Accord.

The Camry is only facelifted. All else remains the same. It's still a great car though, but far from sporty even in SE trim.

The Accord thankfully has undergone a buttlift recently (at least in the US), which adds at least 2 stars in the looks department. This car is more involving to drive than the Camry, but still no BMW.

The Civic should be the more practical choice. It looks nice, should be spacious enough, and with adequate power for everyday use.

seems like they are trying to sell the old stocks off before the new models come in.

Since fuel economy is not a factor. I'll take the Camry since it is youngest among the three and it is a Toyota which is perfect for the reliability and residual value you prefer.

[wren]

since you already have the CRV, get the civic as your daily driver. cheaper, better gas mileage, more fun to drive, easier to park, and you know it'll retain its value...winner!

[mazdamazda]

all I can say is... f*ck Toyota reliability. it is overated.

[Bry]

It'd be a toss up between the Camry or the Accord.

[vq querol]

overrated really...reliability

[silhouette]

i'd choose accord, for comfort.

I've got a 2005 Accord 2.4 VTi-L and a 2007 Camry 3.5Q. In terms of comfort, I'd go with the Camry. The cabin is also quieter in the Camry than the Accord. Of course, no comparison in power due to the difference in engine displacement but in the 1 week that I used my 3.5-li Camry, it seemingly consumes less gas than my smaller-engined 2.4-li Accord.
I don't really know much about the resale value of these cars but I think larger cars in the PI usually relatively re-sell for less than compact cars, eg, Civic.
