Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry, Which is Better

Toyota Camry Honda Accord These are the two most popular passenger cars in America and these cars have been fighting side by side for decades. Today we will find out why America loves them so much. We will briefly look at how each car evolved in technology and style. and we will also look at

which

model years are best if you are looking to buy a used car and

which

model of yours you should avoid and why, hop on and let's get started. Did you know that the Honda Accord was originally based on the Civic? Initially, Honda wanted a bigger, quieter, more powerful and comfortable car than the Civic, so they made the cable hatchback in 1976 as a simple three-door hatchback with horsepower.

It was a test by Honda a year later they began to produce the sedan edition with which the car was equipped. with a 1.6 liter gasoline engine, shortly after came the 1.8 liter engine, it was fuel efficient, so it sold very well during the oil crisis years, while Toyota was working on the Celica Camry In turn, the Celica Camry shared some of its parts with the Toyota Carina, although Toyota redesigned the Karina by extending its front part and adding styling elements reminiscent of the Celica Supra, such as the T-bar grille, the idea of ​​the Toyota

camry

actually grew out of the celica

camry

, the solid camry is not strictly the first generation of the camry, but more Like its predecessor, Honda, meanwhile, was experiencing strong advances in the US, this led Honda to build a factory in Marysville, Ohio in 1982 to assemble the Accord.

In fact, the second-generation Accord is noteworthy because it was assembled at the Marysville plant. It became the first Japanese car produced on American soil. The car was available in sedan and hatchback form that same year, 1982. Toyota made the Camry its own independent line with the V10 series and this officially started the career of the Camry Accord. The first Camry was a compact. When it first came out, it wasn't the mid-size widebody we see today. Toyota exported the Camry to Australia, Europe and North America in 1983. The front-wheel drive model was offered in sedan and hatchback bodies and is equipped with 1.8 and 2 engines.

To us today the inline four-liter engine seems so basic, square and rectangular, but at the time you would hardly know that decades later it would grow to become more elegant and violent. The next time Honda launched the third-generation Accord, they redesigned the sedan and hatchback and added A coupe version had pop-up headlights and double wishbone suspensions at all four corners. During that period, Toyota marketed its second generation Camry or V20 series starting in 1987. The wheelbase was the same as the first generation, but the car was now wider and had a larger trunk, so There is more space inside.

Toyota offered the Camry also in the station wagon body and discontinued the hatchback configuration. It came with the same engine as before and later also came with an option for a 2.5-liter V6 engine. Meanwhile, Honda changed its mind about the headlights of the fourth generation Accord. They replaced the pop-up headlights with fixed ones. The Accords in this area were lower, wider, more spacious, and the Accord was now classified in the midsize sedan class. Honda soon abandoned the version. hatchback and began offering a wagon configuration. In the U.S., by then, the base bottle came with a 125-horsepower, 2.2-liter overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine, while Toyota introduced the Third generation Camry in 1992 and boy was it different than the previous generation.

For the first time, the American Camry had a different look. configuration than other versions on the market, it was then that the Camry jumped the line from the compact class to the mid-size class, it was six inches longer and two inches wider than before, the body was noticeably rounder, less angular, the versions sedan and estate offered two new more powerful engines, a 2.2 liter. Toyota with a three-liter four-cylinder v6 engine also launched the two-door camry coupe for sports fans. Honda then blazed a trail with its fifth-generation Honda Accord. The air introduced two great milestones. It was the first agreement that came with v-tech known as. variable valve timing and lift this was a game changer if you missed my video on vtec check it out.

It is in this era that Honda also began offering the v6 engine option for the Accord Toyota and then introduced the fourth generation Camry in 1997. You can see Toyota. I really prioritized the tastes and needs of American consumers because Toyota designed its engineering facility in Michigan half of the car's development. This car looked sleeker, was larger than before, but was also lighter and less expensive and for the first time the Camry became the best selling car in America during this time Toyota discontinued the station wagon version in the version American coupe took a brief break in production but re-emerged with the Camry Solara which came as a two-door coupe and then the four-seat convertible option.

Then Honda killed off the estate version. Configuration With its sixth-generation Accord, this generation came with the option of a more powerful 135-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a 200-horsepower 3-liter V6 engine. Meanwhile, Toyota started its fifth-generation Camry in 2002. The Camry sedan got a design overhaul - longer wheelbase, taller headroom, more rear legroom - the Camry also got a larger 2.0-liter base engine. 4-liter 4-cylinder with 157 horsepower later also came with a 3.3-liter V6 engine as an option Honda continued to increase power with a seventh-generation Accord, the 2005 model year was notable for the first hybrid Accord, but Fuel economy was mediocre and the car didn't fare that well.

Then Toyota came with its sixth-generation Camry in 2007. Toyota gave the Camry the option of a 3.5-liter engine with 268 horsepower now which was a major power upgrade. Toyota now sold more Camrys than ever before. This generation also saw the discontinuation of the Hamrie Solara coupe and convertible and the launch of the first hybrid Camry. Honda then gave a notable facelift with the 8th generation Honda Accord, it was sportier than the previous generation and came with a 286 horsepower v6, the 7th generation Camry arrived between 2012 and 2017. They did not offer a transmission option manual, the lack of enthusiasm led Toyota to make some updates to its 2015 model year, where Toyota changed all the exterior parts except the roof. but the performance was relatively similar to the previous one since the same engine inherited from the previous generation;

Meanwhile, Honda kicked off its ninth-generation deal with the debut of the CVT transmission. Honda also introduced the new Sport Accord model that was offered with dual exhaust outlets, sportier wheels and a standard six-speed manual transmission and that brings us to the present the latest Camrys on the road the eighth generation Toyota XV70 gave it a facelift face and a sportier atmosphere last year

toyota

added the 2020 camry trd model has a racing car appearance and a firmer suspension 3.5-liter, 301-horsepower V6 engine. The latest-generation 2019 Toyota Camry remains one of the most impressive value cars available. They say owners can expect this car to retain about 60 percent of its value after three years.

Today, Honda's latest deals are in tenth. generation

honda

kicked off this generation deal with the debut of the

honda

nix cvt transmission, coupe styling and v6 engine option and in its place we started to see the base 1.5 v-tech turbo four-cylinder engine liters and the optional 2-liter v-tec turbo four-cylinder engine. The Accord Hybrid went on sale the following year. Both the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry have been very strong rivals, but there are definitely model years that are

better

than others and certain model years have received consumer complaints that are worth considering, so if you're buying used.

Used Accord or Camry which model year should you consider and which should you avoid for the Camry in general the current generation since 2011 has been problem free for most owners the 2014 year especially has the fewest complaints some sources say the The 2016 model year is a good choice with a good mix of safety technology and value, but

accord

ing to consumer complaints, there are three Camry models to watch out for: the 2007, 2008, and 2009 model year Camrys. Those years have a known defect in the engine that manifests itself as combustion. oil and can cause engine failure the year 2002 also had engine problems the biggest complaint for that model year was removing the head bolts when it comes to the Honda Accord the best used

accord

s are from the years model year 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019.

The model year with the most overall complaints is 2008 the most reported problem for the 2008 honda accord was premature wear consumers also complained about excessive oil consumption and uncomfortable seats but that's not the worst year the worst model year for the deal was 2003 not because of the number of complaints but Higher repair costs and more problems with lower mileage. Many of the 2003 Accords had transmission problems and also received complaints about their V6 engine problem. There are no perfect cars, but overall both cars have a proven track record and a strong reputation for reliability, fuel economy, and customer satisfaction.

Why are they the best sellers in the United States? Did you know that the Toyota Camry outsold any other sedan in the United States for 18 years? In fact, it is the best-selling passenger car in the United States. The average lifespan of a Camry is between 200,000 and 300,000 miles, assuming you drive 15,000 miles a year, which means the car can last 15 to 20 years and still be in good condition if you service it regularly. The latest generation Camry is much more popular than previous generations. A common question people ask is whether they should buy a Camry with high mileage. Camrys are reliable even with the mileage, but I generally don't recommend buying a car with over 200,000 miles unless it's really cheap and still runs well. .

I wonder how many miles a Honda Accord can last and also a cable. It has the potential to last this long if properly cared for, even if you purchase a used model. Consumer reports have stated that a cable is one of the cars most likely to last this long, so which is

better

, the camry or the accord? Of course, we see fans on both sides of the field, some say the Camry is the best choice for comfort, powerful engine options and well-balanced driving dynamics, the Accord is the best choice for sporty driving, fuel efficiency , more interior space and a nicer cabin overall, but what?
