Congratulations! Welcome to the Honda Family!!! Use OEM engine oil, and other fluids for your maintenance every time. I'll advise you to remove the connection between the resonator and the engine air intake filter box to avoid water entering your engine through that route during heavy floods.. A competent mechanic can help you with that.

Once again. Congrats!

How much con be toks

IdaraCHODB:
Please research the year and models at carcomplaints and carproblemzoo websites respectively as well.

You could even spend a few days on forums dedicated to both models to have a feel for the kinds of problems drivers of both encounter so as to prepare your mind for what you are going into.

Ordinarily both cars are great, someone said avoid 2008 Honda Accord, I would say avoid it for a specific reason engine oil shortage factory defect and also while I don't drive one, many people have something uncomplimentary to say about its seats as far as being comfortable is concerned

Also avoid 2006 Avalon according to carcompliants, The 2006 Toyota Avalon has the most overall complaints, & the most-reported problem is also with the 2006 Avalon for complete loss of engine oil with no warning light.

will not post direct links, anti-spam bot is too temperamental and i have twice been a victim last week

But come to think of it why single out Honda when even toyota appears to be having the same problem and it is reported by toyotaproblems website that several "Owners Are Burning Through 1 Quart of Oil Every 1,200 Miles" according to toyotaproblems website use the search string "excessive oil consumption" and "toyota problems" to find the link online.

I have used my avalon for 2 yrs now. It's a wonder, I must say. Besides a stupid mechanic who bent my caliper bolt while changing brake pads, I have had no issues. Just servicing and changing stabilizer links and bushings which actually came bad with the car. As for poor, fuel economy, I don't know what these guys are talking about. My avalon has better fuel economy than my 4cyl 2007 camry (camry has no check engine light). Whichever u want to get, just avoid the first year models. Avoid avalon 05. Avoid accord 08. Get later models.

cardoctor:
With the Avalon, you don't have a 4 cylinder engine option. Avalon's only come in V6's. Obviously more power but less economical on fuel.

The Honda, on the other hand, has the 4 cylinder engine option and is a bit more economical on fuel.

Both cars are ok. Avalons have more cabin and boot space than the Honda Accord being obviously a larger car. Avoid the R20 engined Honda Accord.

The myth regarding the gearbox problems remain implausible as most issues with gearboxes here in Naija are usually related to wrong type of ATF fluid being used and poor technical skills and knowledge by most technicians here.

The choice remains yours. Good luck.

Bot h cars are sweet. I assume u are getting the accord v6 since the Avalon is also v6. I still prefer. I prefer the Avalon for just one reason..... The leather seat on 08 accord v6 is terrible and that's a FACT.
