Thanks Sam for your comments and review. Both great cars but for now I will keep my 10 generation 2.0 liter Honda Accord. With 252 HP and 272 lb torque over a wide band of 1500-4000 RPM . It gives me great pleasure on occasion to do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds and all this on regular fuel not premium. Sam has used this car on many of his drag races with surprising results. BTW I will be 74 years old this year, not bad for an old guy who still enjoys the passion of driving a fast car.

[@ta-chenwang6973]

Just test drove both back to back yesterday.The Camry is quick, handles well (quite a surprise), has a spare tire, looks cool from the front, and has AC vent/USB for back seat passengers, but more engine and wind noise. And yes, it can feel cheap, especially in the back seat. The Accord on the other hand, feels more refined, but definitely also bulky and a bit too big for my taste. It is quieter, and the hybrid system works more smoothly as well. The interior definitely has more of a luxury feel with probably better build quality. However, there's no backseat AC vent or USB port or spare tire. Accord also is more expensive for comparable trim. One note about seating position: I'm 5'7" and much prefer the visibility of a Camry. I can see how things are different if you are taller, but that's just not me. The point is that it heavily depends on what's more important to you. I myself remain undecided.

[@dianewilson7415]

For the Accord, the top two trims (EX-L and Touring) have back seat AC and USB ports. I have a 2023 EX-L hybrid, and I love it.

[@phtevenmolz5030]

I have now driven both and am definitely going with the Accord. The Accord has the rear vents and USB on the two highest trims. It also has Active Noise Canceling in the cabin for the Touring trim, as well as some stuff like an awesome HUD, driver assist features that actually function well compared to the Camry’s LKAS specifically, and the entire interior is objectively nicer. There’s also the other concerns of Toyota actively and openly selling all of your driving and interactive data, even after initially denying it.

[@jeffjo8732]

I haven't tested either, so I don't know explicit details. But here are some suspicions (and yes, I am a Honda guy). I can't believe there is no _ventilation_ in the back seat of the Accord. There may be no adjustable vent, but did you look under the seats to see the ventilation ports? Maybe I need to "test drive without intent to buy." The spare tire is missing in the Accord because, in a collision, it becomes a missile aimed at the HV battery. That's why it is there in the 1.5T trims, but not the hybrids. It has nothing to do with weight or price. Honda cares more about safety, even in rare cases, than the negative press. But if you want one, it is east to add non-OEM. When trying to compare trims, I find that Honda publishes easy-to-read tables listing individual features down the left side, with check marks in the columns for the trims that include them. Or maybe a more complete description for a feature that varies by trim (like "17 inch aluminum" or "19 inch alloy" wheels). Toyota lists categories on the left, that you may have to expand individually to see what is included. For example, the "suspension" for the XLE says "Independent MacPherson strut front suspension with stabilizer bar; multi-link rear suspension with stabilizer bar, [*] and front strut tower bracing." I added the "[*]" to mark the spot where the XSE's description adds "sport-tuned shock absorbers and springs." Honda would list these four segments individually. My point here is that Toyota seems to want to make it hard to tell the differences between these feature sets - I had to mentally "pencil out" what was common between them to find the difference. And this happens a lot. And finally, the columns for Toyota's trims often have a symbol that means"available." The feature can be _added_ to the trim, with a significant _added_ price that in not included in the price you may have compared to Honda's "comparable trim." The word "available" does not appear anywhere in Honda's table - the price at the top of the column is the price for that trim, with _all_ the features implied by that trim. For example, Honda's $34,875 "SPORT-L" trim includes a moonroof. Toyota's "comparable" $34,600 XSE trim (whether you agree this is the comparable trim is not my point here) does not - I don't think any do, but I can only compare three Toyota models at a time and I'm not going to dig deeper. It is included in a "package," and the table does not include the price for that package. Going to the "build my car" page, I see that it costs $1,330 more. And while most people will buy the moonroof, the figures they advertise for headroom do not include (it is in the table). My experience, when I last shopped in 2018, was that I soon grew frustrated with the way Toyota hides the true price, so I could not compare prices easily. Going to the dealer didn't help, since I had to look at each car on the lot to see what it did, and did not, have. Their selection did not include the full array - usually including more packages than I wanted, and making the questionably "comparable" Toyota trim more expensive.

I completely agree with you.

[@ztekz]

Those rooting for Camry are the budget and value- oriented buyers focusing more on reliability and practicality while those rooting for Accord are more of the car enthusiasts who focus on driving dynamics and want a more refined ride

[@muhandmalik]

Most buyers in this class seek a car that balances durability, comfort, and fuel efficiency, with durability being the top priority. A 1.5-liter turbo engine cannot compare to a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which has proven reliable from the previous generation. Serious drivers, like taxi or Uber drivers, would choose the Camry, while more easy-going drivers over 40 yrs might prefer the Accord. The Camry is sure to outsell the Accord.

[@jeffjo8732]

This seems like a classic example of a conclusion drawn, and the reasons supplied when and if they support that conclusion. The 1.5L turbo is only in the lower trims; the higher ones have a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a hybrid system. If you look at unbiased reliability ratings like KBB and JDPower, the Accord has proven to be more reliable. Taxis choose the Camry for the sole reason that Toyota supports fleet sales, while Honda does not. Uber drivers prefer more spacious - especially in the back seat - Accord.

[@NEMESISofBALLISTIC]

the numbers have proven it before so their assumption is valid

[@machine4443]

can't take a guy who calls taxis and ubers serious drivers serious 🤣. btw, fleet sales don't count as car buyer sales which means accord is the best seller!

Finally someone who’s being honest about the looks vs the Accord. I’ve seen other videos where Journalists would shy away from saying anything and then you have the Toyota fanboy Journalists who think that the Camry is even better than Lexus 😂. Overall the Accord will age better. Honda has learned from the Germans (mainly Audi) on how to do clean lines. Not the most exciting look, but it’s classy.

[@kevinbonquyquy1047]

I noticed that too, the amount of channels that keep covering the Camry and raving about how its the best sedan Toyota has ever created is hysterical. For some reason it feels like there’s a big bias towards the Camry. Im sure it’s a great car, but so many reviewers only focus on the positives and barely touch on the negatives when we all know that every car has them.

Drove both cars. You can’t go wrong with either. Both fantastic cars. But liked the more sophisticated look and driving of the 25 accord SE. Didn’t care for the lines of the 25 Camry plus the tester I drove had a rattle in the dash somewhere. I want to like Toyota again but with past issues with paint quality and now build quality I went with the accord which felt very solid inside.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it. For the most part, it's really the same car. You enjoy the reliability, and you get the new 5th gen hybrid system with a much needed updated interior. I don't think it should be a knock because it's mostly the same car.

[@caaspark]

I have the XSE on May. I have zero issues. The way this review is done looks like its a honda advertisement. I had Camry SE 2020 and current generation has better build quality. The new hybrid system with the CVT is flawless. Honda's tail light is very ugly and cheap. Front grill also looked very old style, looks like car from 98-99. I know some colors of XSE's ftont gtill's bottom color is too much but pearl, black and underground colors looks perfect and way more better than honda in my opinion. No panoramic roof, no 360 camera and hybrid reliability issue put honda behind of Camry.

[@kinw5648]

Seeing these reviews it definitely have to take it with a grain of salt as it differs from person to person. I also test drove both back to back and found the Camry to be much more comfortable and smooth. I much prefer the seating position of the Camry. Although I didn't go tugging and pulling on all the parts in either car, I prefer the dash layout of the Camry over having the screen sitting on top of the dash. Styling wise, it's definitely subjective, but I much prefer the Camry styling. I originally wanted to get the Accord before the new Camry was announced, but I didn't like how big it felt and low it sat and kinda glad I waited a bit now the Camry is out. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either car, go with what you like, not what others people say.

They make absolutely no logical sense. I have been noticing that just about all the car manufacturers are putting these ugly wagon wheels on the higher trims. This is making it very difficult for the consumer who understands this. For most sedans 17 inch wheels would be sufficient fitted with a 50 profile tire to protect your investment from road damage.

Agree. The same is happening with the Civic (18" on all but the LX with a 40 or 45 series sidewall). They're designed for handling, but the tradeoff is in the durability of the tire and wheel itself, along with degraded traction in snow. The Camry SE offers an 18" wheel (50 series sidewall I think??) which gives a little more sidewall.

so, the build quality, and this is coming from someone who works at toyota building the camry, is due to the fact that we are building almost 2,000 a day so we dont get much time to put the parts on while honda might have more time to assemble a vehicle compared to the camry, plus it all depends on if you have a pre production model, those ones were not up to full standards, i own one myself and i love it and have zero issues with it, but thats also coming from a chrysler 200 that was 12 years old, but no, we dont get a lot of time to assemble the cars, they dont give us more than maybe 45 seconds to install 5 or 6 parts before we gotta move onto the next car

I would love if Honda could make the front end of the Accord to look a little more like the Civic for a mid cycle refresh. Also if they could replace the fixed headrest in the back seat for adjustable ones and for crying out loud put a map pocket behind the driver’s seat!!!! These are features that my 2010 Accord has and it drives me crazy that the new one doesn’t. I couldn’t care less for the panoramic roof or AWD so I’m good with that. Overall I prefer the styling and the interior of the Accord and now, thanks to this video, also the fit and finish. I have driven neither of them yet but, based on all the reviews that I have seen, I think I would prefer the more refined driving experience of the Accord.

[@smf15]

Seeing that the '25's aren't out yet makes me wonder if the Accord is undergoing an early emergency refresh.

[@charlesmauney3998]

Started with a 1980 Corolla; best car; no problems for 85k miles. Then replaced water pump for $25 myself. Sold car for 60% of new after 7 years. Son owned a 97 camery and was another great car. Since then I have owned Accords. Their interiors are nicer (less cheap) but not the deciding factor. The big negative is the Dallas market where all Camry's & Corollas (assume other models also) arrive with high priced add-ons like scotch guard, pin stripes etc adding on another $1000+ cost. It is a non-starter. Honda dealerships purchase mostly higher end trims getting additional revenue this way however I tell them to give me a call when they get a lower end trim...which has worked (like end of quarter when they want to make their numbers).

[@podunkis]

The Accord would be a no brainer if it was hybrid only across all trims. I specifically don't want larger rims, a sunroof, or leather, but I definitely want a hybrid. Only Honda has withheld the hybrid option from the more basic trim package. The is particularly odd because the 17-inch rims would get better fuel economy, a primary selling point for hybrids. I've always preferred sedans, but I'm starting to look at SUVs now since they don't make an Accord I want and the Toyota looks to have its own set of compromises.

[@craiglowden5995]

One important factor that most reviewers seem to not talk about is the battery warranty . The Toyota warranty seems to be better , while at the same time the honda system puts more focus on use of the battery which I think would most likely to put more wear on the battery quicker. The AWD should give you a safer and better handling car. Yet the honda has more interior space...and some say easier controls. Very difficult decision to make???

Accord doesn’t have a lot of basic or high end features which is a shame. It doesn’t have spare tire, no real tire pressure read out, no 360 camera, no high adjustment for passenger front seat. Toyota at least tries to offer more features in their car. They even have 2 year free maintenance. I agree that Honda drive better, but come buying time, consumer won’t ignore those short comings from Honda. They don’t even put a seat lumbar support in the Honda Civic which people complain for years.

So distressing to learn how the build quality on Toyota has declined so greatly over the years.Owned a 1992 Tercel,a1994 Corolla and a 1998 Camry. All with excellent build quality. Why? All made inJapan!. Also owned 2003 Accord,made in Japan. Japanese have moved production to US and Canada to save enormous amounts on assembly costs,taxes and transportation. The Koreans have have invested billions here for the same reasons. Not disparaging Korean models made here but still believe Hyundai and Kia made in Korea are better.The upside to the Korean brands is that a good many are still Korean built.Its just a question of knowing your models and your vin numbers. Bought a 2023 Sportage hybrid in summer of 2022. At the present time all Kia and Hyundai hybrids are Korean.You might consider a Subaru Forrester or Crosstrek both Japanese or discovering a RAV 4 or Corolla hybrid from Japan.No Hondas are asian.
