All the Lexus RX suv models are dope,but stay away from the hybrid version.

For low cost maintenance,why not pick the Toyota Highlander,its also a cool ride.
Thanks for the inputs, I often feel the 2008 highlander isn't solidly built like the older versions (my thought).
Will appreciate further explanations if possible.

Just like how the newer versions of most cars are getting weaker in built quality,but stronger in technological advancements.

Toyota Highlander is not different,so we just have to cope with the obvious fact.

Depends on what you mean by whack and poor.

When the MRSP of both are compared, the Camry is more expensive. Technology wise, it is ahead by a slight margin, safety wise ahead by a considerable margin, aesthetics, the Accord is strong but the camry especially the SE and XLE still beats it. Luxury too.

you right,Honda beats Toyota by a margin when it comes to such areas, with emphasis by a margin.

when we talk about handling, the Honda beats the camry by a small margin because of its suspension setup.
It has multilink suspension with double wishbone up front and multilink suspension at the rear, this makes it handle better and feel planted whilst driving, while the camry has McPherson struts on all 4 corners. The McPherson favours more plush comfy ride depending on the tuning of the shocks.

grin grin I don't think is small margin sir,I don own the two rides in question of different generations, the handling get small gap no be small bros,and I know the suspension system in both for sure,the double wishbone found in the accord that that somehow plays a role in the K-leg saga,really compensated the accord in terms of handling big time,when negotiating bends on certain speed range, that's when the effect of the 'Margin' is felt the most cheesy

Am talking of handling while driving esp on speed.Not what you listed above,just say the truth.was so disappointed the way it was rolling like pangolo despite the shocks being changed already some weeks back.And when you mean safety,how is the muscle more safer when it feels so lighter and looks like it wants to tumble off the ground and keeps bouncing since it doesn't hold stability better than the accord Eod while travelling on speed

It's a great car. Lovely. But why not do the 2008 upwards. Those errors in the early production models were corrected.

I don't attribute sporty handling of the accord or any FWD honda to be better by miles when compared to any Toyota. They're boring. If you wanna do handling, why not compare it to a Mercedes, a bmw, a Subaru with symmetrical awd or even an infiniti?

The Honda handling is only marginally better than the camry. But when you have a camry with very good suspension especially the SE models then that margin closes very considerably to become a tie.



Fact, Honda never advertised or designed their accord to be superior and sporty in handling and driving dynamics. They designed and advertised them as a family sedan for everyday use.
