Good morning, auto gurus. Pls, 'm about to purchase my second car and my choices are the 2008/09 toyota camry popularly known as muscle and the 2008/09 honda accord aka evil spirit. I've not been able to make a clear choice out of these two. So I ask for opinions on the basis of experiennce from using these cars before and help a brother out. Thank you

Thanks bro, read through it now and I can safely say the Accord is a dafe bet. Appreciate...

Read thru more online reviews from carconnection, carcomplains, edmomds, kelleybluebook etc, visit owners of these cars and ask them about their perception of the cars. Visit dealership and ask the dealers about their opinions.

The camry has its strong points and its weak points. The honda has its strong and weak points too.

Weak point of camry= unintended acceleration, stuck carpet, dashboard degrade, airbag recalls etc.

Weak point of honda: Airbag recalls, premature brake wear etc.

Honda accord My08 is engineered using Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering™
( ACE™), its also the first car in its segment to have stability and traction control as standard feature through out all its trim level.

I would go for V6 of the Accord. One interesting feature about it is that it can automatically shutdown 3cylinders when you are cruising or going downhill, i.e the computer system disables 3cylinders when you don't need too much power and enables all 6cylinders when you need more power. To explain further. When you're at say 120km/h and you want to maintain it you don't need all 6cylinders because the car had already gained momentum and all you need is a little power to maintain that momentum. So the ECM/PCM shuts down/disables 3cylinders leaving 3cylinders active at that moment. This saves you fuel and happens without you noticing it.

It doesn't shutdown all 3 cylinders all the time, it shuts 1, 2 and up to 3 cylinders depending on the power requirement. this makes the gas mileage of the V6 to be quite close to that of the 4 cylinder.

I have had the privilege of driving both cars on long distance journeys and I must say without biase that I consider the accord the better car in terms of road handling, comfort and over all performance. I also find the interior and exterior looks of the accord more appealing. however, the camry has the quieter engine and gear shift is smoother too.
