Honda or Toyota?..

[benchph1]

Accords up to the 8th generation (2008-2012) had the double wishbone front suspension. The 9th and 10th generations already moved to the McPherson strut suspension for the front.

There is a reason why the Accord is Honda’s most praised car as it has been a consistent performer ever since.



Not only the suspension of our old 6th gen but it’s the whole package. Accord platforms have good natural grip and the engine just is matched well with the chassis plus of course, the interior comfort.

Nothing too bad about the McPherson struts if tuned properly. Even the Europeans use McPherson struts on their models. Subaru uses them also.

whats wrong with mcpherson struts? as i heared, mcpherson is easier to service compared to double wishbone and is much cheaper to manufacture(?), maybe that is why some manufacturers switch to it.

Also, why is it mas mahal pyesa ng honda compare to toyotas? please enlighten, newbie here..

Mac Struts are the torsion beam equivalent out front. Cheaper, lighter, simpler. They sit higher & won't perform as well on corners due to the smaller camber change the system allows.
Double Wishbone are the multi-link equivalent. Better performing, lower...but when trouble shows up, be prepared to shell more. They're a lil heavier..... Unsprung mass, higher. Overall, the latter is better.
Notice the trend amongst manufacturers? Abandoning better engineering & long term durability for cost?...Another glaring example: CVTs.[emoji20]
Still, we continue to suck up to their hype.[emoji2957]

Relax guys im not saying mcpherson struts are bad. But i will argue that double wishbones are superior with the same level of tune. And that is exactly why car makers prefer them because they easier to make & service.

If youve driven civics and accords of the 90’s you know what i mean.
