Toyota Camry has fewer cosmetic features such as alloy wheels and color matching door handles, than Honda Accord. This is why the high-end Honda model is likely going to be your best bet if you want a car with plenty of popular features and an almost luxury level of look.

To paraphrase, Honda Accord offer more features standard than the Camry, but the Toyota Camry is more cost-effective because it's specially built-focused on price.

Go for Camry and have peace of mind. First the Camry Auto transmission is better, the Honda is prone to leg issue if not maintain properly. The Camry is more reliable, durable and have a better second hand value...

Hi everyone, I need some input here... Im at a cross road between Accord (2008-2011) and Altima (2007 to 2011). Tbh, I like the design of the altima better. However, I am concerned with the issue of reliability, cost of maintenance and technical know-how on the part of our mechanics. This is going to be my first car. Kindly advice.

Good morning my people,

I need answers to why my Toyota corolla 2005 model makes a whistle sounds for about 3mins when I start the car in the morning or anytime the car engine is cold.
It doesn't make this sounds when the engine has been running for say 30mins and I off and start it again before the engine goes cold.

A rewire told me it's the fan engine that was making the noise but after changing, it turns out not to be the cause.

What could be the culprit, pls.

Go for the Accord. It is solid and reliable.
The Altima is a nice ride, but based on first car I will advise against it.
Toyota people won't tell you about oil burn and compressor issues.
Google is your friend, I suggest you compare and contrast.

I wouldn't decide categorically whether you go for d baby boy.
Do you have the budget? Can you maintain it properly?

As for the Honda Accord leg-pulling issue, the truth is most people with leg pulling problems are just careless. Before a honda leg can pull, it will definitely give u some signs. But some people will keep driving the car even with weird sound on the suspension area, they will drive until the leg comes off.

If you want choose to have minimal issues and addons, Camry cld be a good choice.
But if you want something more classic, not minding the cost; Honda is a lovely choice.

Good evening house,

I wanted to buy a Nissan pathfinder 2004 model from a friend. He drive the car so smoothly with speed as I sat beside him.

But by the time I told him to allow me to drive, I was expecting V6 engine to pick once I marsh down.

but as I accelerate the car mashing down once, from 20-30 in expectation that the car should fire once, it jerk and slow down.

He was claiming it not something serious.

Pls I need expert advice. Should i be worried.

He claimed the engine is a new one.

Although he told me catalyst has been stolen from the exhaust.

The part where my back leans moves front and back normal, the part I seat on with my buttocks goes up and down but not front. I don tireee. Pls anybody get ideas?

It's normal with fords. Get a spanner and locate the seat motor and tap it while holding the button to slide it back. The motor brushes are either losing contact or an electrical malfunction.


That said, what I posted is for short term fix. You need to take out the seat and have the bad motor properly repaired.

Pls this motor is a Lexus es300 03. I found a fix on YouTube for Camry 2002 but I tried it, detached everything with a screw driver but the last part was somewhat different and e no work.
