hey folks,i know its the age long debate but i am caught up in it cos am thinking of getting my first car and am stuck between the 2005 versions of the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Accord.
i hear Toyota Corolla is the car if u want durability and easy maintenance but its Honda cousin beats it anyday if u are looking for a luxury sedan but is usually prone to gear box issues.
What do u guys think?i need some truthful advice from folks that ve used either or both cars or know anything about them.

THANKS A LOT MAN!I APPRECIATE.
GUESS YOU CAN NEVER BE WRONG WITH A TOYOTA.

apple to orange

Class:
compact car-> Toyota Corolla Vs Honda Civic
Midsize car -> Camry Vs Accord

So if you are buying a car and paying same for Corolla and Accord you are cheating yourself.

Get the Accord, Corolla is entry level car devoid of any luxury accent, the civic is another choice if you are looking for affordable car.

The perceived transmission problem is people using the wrong fluid, Toyota uses a very common fluid and when used on Honda causes problems

chei!no confuse me now!i think anoda thing the Accord has going,is that the resell value on toyotas drops faster than the Honda,like a naija used 2005 Accord still sells for over 1.3/1.4 mil even after 2 to 3 yrs of use.But a camry or corolla loses 200gees at least even after only a few months of use.
