The Fast Lane Car Mazda 6 vs Accord
Honda interior is very very nice. Didn't know how fast it was.
Finally the perfect video, well done guys! I own a Honda Accord 2018 and it’s so fun to drive. Super spacious too. Someone confused it with a Benz and I laughed 😂. But I love the look of the Camry too.
Definitely the most entertaining review of these two cars I've seen. Great job, you guys :D
My son and his wife looked at both, She liked the Camry, he liked the Accord. They have 3 kids all in car seats, and the 3 car seats fit both cars. For both of them, the trunk space was what made them buy the Accord. I've been in both cars, and I can't see anybody going wrong with either one, if its what you want.
In the end you can't really go wrong with either. In Colorado, the lack of AWD on both cars is a problem. That is why Subaru sells a ton of cars here even if the Legacy is an appliance compared to these two. Nissan adding an AWD option to the 2019 Altima is also a huge deal, especially with the Altima being #2 in sales nationally behind the Camry.
I'm betting Honda puts out an AWD Accord here soon. Their Acura TLX now comes in AWD and it's amazing, and it's basically the same car just with a nicer interior and better looks (That TLX A-Spec is so pretty!). Honda has had lots of AWD cars over the years... I'm certain it's coming. SH-AWD Accord would be a best seller.
But it does help with tire wear and handling. And driving an AWD in the snow up hill is a lot easier than a FWD or RWD... so I'd say it does help. The extra weight makes it bad for stopping though.
Actually, AWD does help in the snow, especially when combined with good tires. People who say things like "AWD doesn't help in snow" don't live in places like Colorado.
I wouldn't take my FWD thru a snowstorm in the Mountains, but I'd take a Subaru or SH-AWD vehicle. For the most part though, driving around here in the winter, FWD does the trick with the right tires.
The perfect team to review vehicles.
I did my part to save the manuals with the 2018 Accord Sport 2.0T! Love this car...
You still got it?
@@jonmcclane7433 Yep. And still love it.
@@mgobluevictor definitely my next car, but probably gotta wait another year. I have a 2014 Sport with only 60k on it, but want the extra power and 6 speed.
@@jonmcclane7433 The 6MT was discontinued (2019 was the last model year for it, I believe), so if u need the manual, u will need to go for used.
@@mgobluevictor you’re right, I’ve done my homework, trust me
My wife has the 2018 camry and I have the 2018 accord sport 2.0T 6mt the accord is way more fun to drive and very tourque I hate the accord taillights but the camry styling is better but accord has better tech and more fun to drive.
Jee Vang he literally stated that he has the 2.0T Sport... did you even watch the video? The accord 2.0T is a 10spd automatic, and Honda has consistently been more reliable than Toyota. Check yourself before you wreck yourself mate, Have a good day.
yeah on video Accord looks prettier but in real life I've seen both cars on the road, Camry looks way better than Accord irl and on the road. On the road Accord stylings looks like any other sedans like BMW or Lexus etc, but Camry looks so sporty, unique, sparkling and charming on the road.
Too bad the v6 will last longer than the turbo
Snowy my brother has the accord, i have the camry. His is a way more fun drive, but not sure where honda is more reliable. They have made a lot of weak transmissions. Not just CVT. I also like that Toyota has dual port and direct injection preventing carbon issues inherent in GDI. Honda has known oil dilution issues in the 1.5. Choir is out on 2.0
@@iPvpTiger check yourself? Have you ever even owned a camry before? Or have talked to people who've clocked 500+ thousand km's on their cars? If you want reliability stop wasting money on touch screens and electric comforts. The money you "saved" will only go toward broken sensors and electrical problems. Buy an older car instead?
That trunk test y’all did is hilarious. You guys are great.
LSanti sneaking over the border...into the Ukraine. I about lost it! Lol
You can’t go wrong with either one !!
You guys are Awesome! I love all your channels. When Nathan was doing the 0-60, I saw he didn't have the Accord in Sport mode during the test. When in Sport mode, it bumps up performance and displays the boost pressure on the tachometer. I believe it would have gone faster.
Holy moly
This channel is growing so fast
Wow that Honda is quick
im surprised
I doubt it. But keep smoking the pipe the Toyota dealer told you lol
When That v tec kicked in yo
guy proulx you might want to check C&D and Motortrend before you make that erroneous claim.
guy proulx yeah I think you are just making that up 😂 the 2018 accord is just extremely fast for an accord period.
That's the best thumbnail I've ever seen on TFL Car
Joseph _Gomes I agree
Joseph _Gomes but it’s still not correct cause both of the accords engines are turbo charged
Joseph _Gomes LOL i didn't notice it.
I'm not on the turbo bandwagon yet I still love a natural aspirated V6
John Smith same and turbocharged engine don’t last as long like. A Toyota cAmra engine
Shhhhhhh am sure they won't tell u that lol but is true toyota always kill when it comes to reliability
Can't beat a 12 second family car tho.
If only they sold the camry as a rear wheel drive. That would make it miles better but probably cut in to there lexus sails
Not like them million mile tractor trailer turbo motors that don’t last. Grow up people .
Imagine, Accord Front end, Camry Rear end, Turbo V6.......😍😍

The review we have been waiting for all our lives
Mansour Anonimous right
Would have loved to see a lap around a track -- to see how quicker turn-ins and suspension reacts and lap-time.
If Roman did a review on the 2018 Honda Accord, he’d be really happy that there are volume and tuning knobs
Camry XSE V6 black with red leather is amazing!
Mike Pearis agreed. I prefer a v6 for its refinement vs a turbo 4.
I'm so happy you did the review, both are great cars.
Wow very detailed video in a short time,love your work.best of luck.
I traded in my 2016 accord for an 18 Camry. No regrets. I absolutely love this car. It drives so much more comfortably and feels just more refined than the accord. My Camry has the four-cylinder engine and I have no complaints about it especially the fuel mileage.
I have the same car. Its an SE. Its an amazing car. If you want it to go fast it really can take off.
Your content & editing keeps getting better and better; as time goes by.
Thanks, we’re really trying to get better
Yeah they hirer a editor no shit
You have to remember... Honda doesn't sell to fleets, no taxi and no rental company, however Toyota does
Mr. Ash which doesn't make up most of their sales.
Mr. Ash well thats stupid, is that Toyota fault
That's bullshit. I work at a hotel in Waikiki. There are lots of Honda Accords, Civics, and HRV's parked in our guest parking. Why do Honda fanboys make up this crap?
The accord, Camry and sonata are use for taxi all over New York city
jgijoe and I work for a Honda Dealership in Arizona. They don’t make up this crap. It’s true. Why do toyota fan boys make up THIS crap? Don’t believe me? Look at resale values of any Honda vs Toyota. Trim to trim in the used market right now ?
A Honda Accord Type R with a manual would be amazing! Love that Honda still sticks with the manual. One if the best manuals to drive too!
3:00 is what most of us are here for tbh... I think your the only channel to do this with the two cars.
Having driven both cars back-to-back, I bought a 2018 Accord Touring the day they went on sale. The Camry is just missing way too much technology. No memory seats, no cooled seats, no Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, no over-the-air software updates...Toyota really porked it away big time with the Camry. Doesn't hurt that the Accord is less expensive, faster, and had a much more functional interior. Happy with my decision. I have yet to see any major car publications give the Camry a victory over the Accord in any comparison test. The Camry has always been a bit of a dud. This new one is the best yet, but Honda still outdid Toyota, yet again.
Matt Speer just like the Accord doesn't have a real audio system, 360 camera and a panoramic sunroof. The only options toyota needs is their CarPlay update and the memory seats which 2019 will likely add. I dont see how anyone can bare the audio system in the Accord.
Um...the audio system in the Accord Touring sounds significantly better than the joke "upgrade" JBL system in the higher end Camrys. Believe me, I tested that aspect out thoroughly as a good sound system is one of my primary concerns when buying a new vehicle. The one in the Camry was pretty bad. Very muddy sound.
Who needs a 360 deg camera in a family sedan that has great visibility out of it? If offered on the Accord, would I take it? Yes. But that's not an essential feature. Memory/cooled seats are way more important to me.
What makes you think Toyota will add memory seats in 2019? Typically major changes don't happen until the mid-cycle refresh, which won't happen until 2021 for the Camry. Even then, I can't see them adding memory seats. They "reserve" features like memory seats and cooled seats for the Avalon. Pretty dumb since most of the Camry's competitors offer that stuff now.
Matt Speer sorry bud but if you think the audio system in the touring accord is better than the JBL uiu have completely lost your mind. In fact hire just a flat out liar.... there are even UA-cam comments of owners that talk about how bad the Accord sound system is. There is know way you compared the two audio systems so you must work for Honda. The Accord doesn't even have name brand speakers and every other car brand has name brand speakers. Nice try...
Matt Speer I'll leave this here..
Enjoy the car no one wants and my local dealer has over 300 in stock and even my Honda salesman I've known for years says he hopes they redesign soon.

Wow, you really are ignorant about car sound systems if you think a name brand like JBL equals high quality sound, lol. You are probably a big fan of Bose systems, too. No I don't work for Honda. This is the first Honda I have owned since 2007 (was actually an Acura TSX). I have owned two Hyundais and one Genesis in the interim. I used to own a Camry in the early 2000s. I thoroughly test drove both the new Accord and new Camry twice, and the Accord was clearly superior. Why do you think it is that zero car magazines have given the Camry a win over the Accord in a comparison test? The best phrase comparing the two I've heard is: "Toyota built a better Camry. Honda built a better car." Pretty simple. But you are obviously a Toyota fan boy who can't handle someone sharing FACTS that paint the Camry in a negative light.
Great work, you guys! I think this is the best TFL video in a while. Keep it up! Difficult choice. I like the 6-cylinder and the panoramic sunroof in the Camry. I like the Camry from every angle, but the front end kills it for me. I am actually surprised at how much I like the styling of the Accord, considering I normally don't like chrome and the personification of cars (i.e., unibrow). I also love the wheels on the Accord. And the interior of the Accord, with its simple lines, is a winner in my book. However, I don't like the button shifter. It seems gimmicky since it takes as much space as a traditional shifter would. Overall, though, I would pick the Accord.
Thanks for the kind words!
Test drove a 6 speed Honda Accord.......IT'S FANTASTIC!
It's still a slow car. A v6 motor will always out run you.
Lamon Lites your wrong asf 😂😂😂
@@lamonlites8338 literally every review shows you otherwise.
@@kalookakoo5 I understand you. But why is they running a V6 against a turbo engine. My opinion the V6 is stronger. The turbo do lage a bit and can go out. Me I just think the V6 is better. I'm not going to keep this up no more. I know that all other cars that has V6 are stronger. I have drove them all. But at that stand still a turbo got to wind up.I look at all the test runs against every car you have done and I think that Honda is not that fast. But if you think so.I believe it. But all cars motor are not the same and weight limit also. Just like what I see in the Mustang. I think that car is faster then most cars but it's to heavy. Both car are great. I just like the Carmy better. Have a nice day
Camry is for retired old folks....Toyota design this car for elder folks. Jeeez
I own a 2018 Accord 2.0 turbo
..... 6 speed manual..... :))
Love it :)
Both in my opinion are great cars. I'm a big fan of Toyota and Honda
Both are boring as hell.
Nathaniel Rudolph And neither of us asked for your opinion
Perk Here still boring and bland
Honestly I would pick the Accord, with the manual and the Civic Type R engine. The Accord's styling is starting to grow on me as well. Meanwhile the Camry is okay but just not my cup of tea, but at least it has a V6 option.
DETUNED engine. Different pistons, higher pressure fuel pump, cams, and turbo. Hondata would help with that but the limiting factor is fuel pump and a smaller turbo for the accord to make it somewhat of a type-r
Ziakel I know it's detuned, but I like to say it has a Type R engine anyways lol.
Great videos guys, one of your best!
Good video guys and I recently purchased an Accord Sport 2.0T - love it!
I like the fact that Camry has wider seats - I think that's better than having a wider centre console for long term comfort.
I love you guys!
Nice , well done guys , well informative and fun as well I'm subscribing yoo keep it up
Good job guys thanks for your information it really helped me thanks again
The Accord is the clear winner IMO but just Looking at the facts (speed, comfort, price & features) the Honda takes the lead over the Toyota
Fanboy
offcourse you would say this
In your dreams looser
That accord will be at the recycling yard within 3 years with that garbage unreliable turbo engine
yellow98gt "loser" for having an opinion. That's the logic you angry butt hurt Toyota fans have.
guy proulx The 2.3 turbo in the RDX is doing just fine 11 years later. This is Honda not GM or BMW.
I'd to the Honda, I love TOYOTA but I would buy this Accord in a heart beat!!! Looks very stylist, turbo, dynamics! Reminds me of a Audi
Excellent and informative video. Thanks guys!
You can't pick your favorite when you own both brands and love them both :(
Lets be honest... we all love the front of the Accord compared to the Camry, and we love the back of the Camry compared to the Accord. If they could have married the Front of Accord with the back of the Camry we would have one of the best looking vehicles.
On another note, the Camry has more of a luxury appeal compared to the accord. "What happened Toyota? You could have put some more power behind the Camry off the line." That is one place where the Honda Accord shines most... exhilarating speed off the line - WOW! Good mash-up guys!
Justin Reid Not all of us.
I would say most of us prefer the aggressive nose of the Accord.
I have to disagree. The headlights on the Accord are too big. It looks bug-eyed. And that chrome unibrow. Yuck! Everybody has a different opinion. But, saying most people prefer the front end on the Accord is completely wrong.
Yes, I understand the styling is subjective. However, my opinion states that I believe most people will prefer the aggressive styling of the front of the Accord (especially all in back) compared to the more elegantly appointed front of the Camry. Don't get me wrong! I like the styling of the Camry, but I am just pointing out that the Accord has a more menacing look (especially when Black out). The rest of the look of the Accord is not as aggressive or attractive. So, if it was my money I would prefer the Camry, but their is no denying the aggressiveness of the front Accord with the power to go with it.
Justin Reid they tested a mile above sea level, camry was short on power cause pf that
I’m good with my 14 Accord. I want the Accord wheels for my car.
Was waiting for diz race for a while , thnxz
Ok so I own a 2018 camry v6 and I noticed that its slow to take off when you first flore it, while the engine is cold. However, when the engine is completely wormed up, man the car flies. I mean its like it doesn't even know what to do with all that power. Its crazy fast.
I can imagine. I have an XSE with the 4 banger....that thing ain't no slouch.
V6 Camrys are insanely fast.
GREAT REVIEW, but i don't think toyota had on the top of there list was speed. The MAIN difference is EXCITEMENT and King Cam blows accord away. Almost everything u c on Accord is expected BUT not with Camry. Thanks
Dick City I agree 100%
Both you guys were screaming off roof tops about the Camry has "301" and how it was going to beat the 2.0t in the accord....now it doesn't matter...gotta love you Toyo boys lmao
What a great video, very informative. I'll definitely take the Honda.
Ok this is my scoop. Luv ur reviews, I mean you are THEE Best. Your performance info is good but I'm a ROAD TRIP type of guy. I mean after HOURS in the saddle, is the seat still comfy, can you hear or feel the lines in the concrete, is it Quiet? I mean morgue like quiet. How is it at 75mph? Any buzzing👎🏽? On my trips I put the seat back and sleep at truck stops..So how are the seats for sleeping?? It may sound like I'm seeking the comfort of an S class in a Honda or Toyota ( I guess I am) but I'm going to the reviewers for help..thanks for your info and please keep em' coming. Luv u guys jj👍🏽
That's exactly what i'm seeking after driving my fun, affordable, noisy-ride, feel every bump Mazda 3!
I drive 2015 Accord and I can’t believe how fast it is with such a small engine. It defies logic in a good way!
In the middle east, the camry v6 goes from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds! That damn mile above sea level~ ._.
Rabea almahmoudi i don’t think it was a fair enough test considering turbo engines do better a mile above sea level
The Saurus IKR!!
It's very much fair. There's a lot of people that live at elevation and goes to show how important a real world test is, rather than number fudging that goes with magazine reviews (hint: they don't get the numbers they quote - it's computationally adjusted to SAE testing standards)
oldtwins na of course, we respect the effort and trust the results. I'm just stating that it could be different
Rabea almahmoudi you're absolutely correct
Would like to see how these stack up against the new Mazda6 turbo. Keep the good work up TFL!
Shawn Bremer me too I think the Mazda would win. It's probably lighter than the Accord and Camry
mazda is actually slower than both
According to Edmunds the Mazda 6 is about 130lbs heavier than the Accord. I like the Accord and Mazda 6 best in this class. I've driven the Accord 1.5T a few months back and the Mazda 6 2.5T yesterday, both felt great but would have to drive them (2.0T Accord) back to back to really compare NVH, steering, throttle, ride etc.
What other company offers an entry level family sedan with a manual? It had more driving dynamics than the Accord when I bought mine. 80k problem free miles so far.
Mazda6 is available with a 2.5L N/A engine and a 6sp manual
Great battle guys!
I own the 18 sport with a1.5L turbo and it drives great! I get 37/38 mpg highway and it has a gear shifter! 78K miles and running great!!!
Both amazing family cars. I'd chose the Camry, not because its better, but its best for me. Can't go wrong with either one.
Yeah, I got back issues and camry feels much better in that regard the ride is so smooth and quiet.
The rear end of the Accord looks funny
S thats what im sayong its stupid dumb looking👎👎😒
They rear lights look like two lobster claws to me.
I don't like the rear end I think future redesign will go back to the old design for sure.
@@sengyang6780 No I definitely don't think they will be going back to old design but refining the current one
fkn ugly is what it looks like... lol
Awesome review guys...I’m leaning on accord but both are great cars
Great Video👍👍
They both are great cars. Can't go wrong with either one.
Wife drives 17 Highlander with 8 speed. Not a big fan of the transmission. Wonder if the Camry feels the same.
Great review!
great video... Really enjoyed
One point missed out-The audio system of Camry is a huge plus over accord's ordinary equipped audio system.
Thank you for the feedback.
Huge is an understatement. I wish reviewers covered the audio system.
I don’t think many people care THAT much.. that’s why if a audio system isn’t that amazing just get a wayyyy better stereo system installed. Yeah it’s money but the audio systems installed in cars don’t last long at all if you blast it! Lol
The Camry XSE V6 has a 9-speakers JBL Synthesis Audio System. I am an audiophile and the sound stage in the Camry is very good. Never heard the Accord though, so I cannot comment.
Douglas Snodgrass the only people who dont care are people who have never had a good audio system in their car. People have complained the audio system in the Accord is worse than a Chevy cavalier or Altima from over 10 years ago. It's just terrible.
the Camry though. It's such a beauty.
Thivakar saravanamuthu you cant say “I drive a Camry” and feel or even look like a bad ass tho. ! Lol
The Accord looks better than Camry
Yeah the Camry is ugly tho
For once Toyota brings out a good looking car.
The Camry looks incredible in the white/black theme.
Very nice video, thanks guys!
Both of these cars are amazing!! I test drove both and picked the accord because of price and I enjoyed how it drove, but I prefer the style of the camry. You can't go wrong with either one
I really did enjoyed this comparison. Thank you guys!
You are most welcome!
The Fast Lane Car you guys are bias latino fellow said that he was flew out by Honda in his last video?Lol
jgijoe dude! Most of all this reviewer's always get invited to review cars by manufacturers.
of course the Camry sell more, just think about all the cabs fleet in NY, LA, or SF....most likely Camry
Pislui Honda is struggling to move the accords right now. It's to point where they have to lower the price on them. I use to love the accord but now it looks like a fake Audi A7.
Pislui they chose them for low maintenance and reliability. I think that's a compliment. Only people that don't work for a living see that as a negative. Good to see working small business people buying the best for their business. Both are great cars, but at his is the first Turbo Accord. People are waiting how reliable it turns out.
If you don't count fleet sales the accord does sell more than the Camry. Also the main reason the Camry is still selling well and the accord isn't is because of dealer and lease incentives. If you take equally equipped camrys and accords the Camry can be leased for 219 a month with 1999 due at signing where the accord is 249 a month with 3999 due at signing. It's Toyota that's lowering the price to move cars, Honda isn't so sales are slowing. Honda has openly admitted this and says they are fine with it.
TurboNFRStwoK / that's the excuse Honda has been using for years. In fact, since 1990, when someone out sells them.The Accord is an amazing car, and anyone that buys one will be getting a great car, but not a great deal in pricing. The Honda Dealership network has been complaining for months for incentives, the car is priced out of the Market. There's strong competition in that category. The Toyota Camry is an amazing car. The Dealership network is very happy with the car. There's customers are getting a good car for a great price. To downplay the Camry is a mistake. It's a great car.
TurboNFRStwoK / again, those are called incentives. Second, Honda has lots of left over 2017's, especially in Los Angeles, the real reason that don't have specials on the new one, is because they gave away the 2017's, and still need to sell the left overs. You are reading Honda's press release. The fleet sales the Camry has to date is not as high as you think. The Camry can easily hold its own against the Accord, it's just they know what the going rate on what the free market will pay for one. Honda is selling tons of CRV's, and current market will pay full price on the CRV, not the Accord. Toyota recognizes that the mid size market is soft, but they don't want to give up on it. The have the RAV4 for what the market demands. They know that with the way things are, you can't get top dollar for a midsize sedan. Honda says they're fine with it, but not their dealerships. Don't read press releases, go out in the market. Talk to people in the field. Look up the trade magazines on line, ( not the meaningless advertising Road and track, Car and Driver), and you'll get a better understanding of the Automarket. Nissan's Altima is improved, and will be priced aggressively. Toyota is trying to get all the sales they can to get word of mouth, expose the car to enough people to have a successful 2019. If Honda doesn't change strategy, they are going to lose midsize sedan share next year. Mazda stepped up too. It's not just the Camry to worry about.
I have a chevy impala which i love. The impala is so underrated. For this comparison, i prefer the accord. I love the look and features.
Nice review guys
Getting my Accord 2.0 Touring in 4 more months! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
2 months to go
Dante E did you get it?
Man, really surprising! Toyota touts the new 301-HP V6, but it gets smoked by Honda's smaller displacement engine. Definitely didn't see that coming. Nice review guy's. Thanks.
Barbara Schenck that's because they're over a mile above sea level which favors turbos. The air is thinner at those levels but the forced induction of the turbo gives it the advantage
Barbara Schenck The Camry weights 200 pounds more which makes a difference.
Accord still faster at sea level
Barbara Schenck motor trend had the numbers the same from 0 60 these guys are payed by Honda the latino guys says it in his last video when he compared the Honda touring and camry xle, also they say they went to higher elevation to help the honda accord
keri ellerbe also has almost 30 more horses
Worth the watch for the hood support locations. I had now idea
You guys always bring the top of the line cars. Do you realize most people but the base or step higher. can you review those, please?
Honda Accord 🔥
Jeniel Motoring ur mom
buzman1985 your aunt
Jeniel Motoring eww i love the camry sport iss the fastes
Ugly! Accord. My 2015 is much better
@@KingLouOG looks better yes runs better no
At altitude turbocharged engines almost always win. Long term reliability for the Camry V6 should be better.
10tenman10 wait that doesnt make sense. The higher the altitude, the denser the air, the denser the air, the less oxygen for the motor. So how does that have any effect on the accord vs the Camry. (I agree with the V6 being more reliable though)
Because the turbocharger maintains the same performance as lower altitudes because it uses exhaust gases to operate. Whereas the Camry's naturally aspirated engine has to rely all on the air.
And no, the higher the altitude, the thinner the air. If the air is denser then it means there's more oxygen.
Matte Exactly! People need to drive their cars up here at altitude to fully understand.
Not that it was a better car, but my Cobalt SS Turbocharged was faster in a quarter mile than my buddies Mustang GT.
wrong. The density of air decreases with height. There are two reasons: at higher altitudes, there is less air pushing down from above, and gravity is weaker farther from Earth's center. So at higher altitudes, air molecules can spread out more, and air density decreases
I went and test drove the Accord sport yesterday.. i like so many was a little iffy about the design, but seeing it in person and driving it totally changed my mind! The 2.0 is quick enough for any normal person. I'm 6'2" and sitting behind myself i still had about 4-6 inches of leg room and my head barely touched the roof. The trunk is HUGE! If you don't like the looks i get that, but the rest of the car is on point. These cars are both really nice, i have yet to drive the Toyota, but the inside of the Accord pretty much seals it for me. I don't think you can go wrong either way, it's just going to come down to which one looks better to you.
I have a 2017 honda accord and my wife has the 2018 Camry le plus, my accord jumps off the line but her Camry is sugglish and I don't like the gas peddle from the floor I like it to come from the top down. If I put my foot all the way on it its a little better but my accord seems to get up and go better , both r 4 cyls. Great video enjoyed it a lot. Thanks
That LE Plus is geared toward fuel economy. Its no surprise. But in the long run the Camry will cost less to operate and be far more reliable!
didn't like the Accords styling at first, it's really grown on me. looks better than the Camry. and thank you for keeping the manual, Honda!
Rebel Rouser yea specially in person the accord is lower and wider which creates a better stance
seeing them in person has that effect. The rear 3/4 could use a tweak, but its not bad by any means.
really grows on me as well. The only problem is the fake chrome exhausts. If you get a chance to touch one, do it and they feels like you can just rip them off.
I don't mind the tail light design, but can't really stand that fugly front facia of the Accord at all.
Cool review. Both cars look great. Apple Carplay made the difference for me. Toyota is holding out until 2019? What was the point?
Pride
Privacy terms with apple was the hold up.
You guys have great chemistry
i spy NFC connection spot on the accord trim dash, sleek, clever. Simply touch your phone to it with NFC on and boom, its all good to go. No menu fumbling.
I was waiting on this video
The new Camry looks very slick and sharp.
Just bought the accord 2.0t..... I love it
I don’t like the push button shifter on the 2.0 T Accord as much as the regular shifter on the 1.5.
I love the Camry I’d rather buy that but I’ll never understand why Honda doesn’t use a premium audio like Toyota Honda’s stereo will never be nearly as good as what’s in the Camry
You have room for a 3k sound system on the Accord... LOL 😆
I hate the Honda speakers I think Camry is better
yes!! honda stereo speakers are trash!!
accord is killing it!
An AWD Type R Accord with a 6 speed would be amazing. If drive one for sure.
Hey just brought 2020 Honda sport 2.0 didn’t like the touring 2.0 don’t like the rims but the sport 2.0 has beautiful rims honestly it’s a fun car to drive it’s fast wide hood really visible to see I was blown away an it looks good at night don’t know the difference between 2018 an the 2020 cause I’ve never driven a 2018 but I loved this video I’m happy but the turbo is real beast
I have the 2grfe in my mr2. Mines out of a 2013 sienna tho. It's just a bulletproof engine,with smooth power and produces nice sound. And maintaince is so easy. The 3.5L 2grfe is such a awesome engine 👍
Having had the 2016 Camry for almost 3 years I gotta say, I’ve been disappointed with the finish and quality of the vehicle. Looking at the latest Accords, it seems like more attention goes to the actually quality and design of their vehicle than on the Camry. They just look so much better.
@Joe. Accord's are very nice but if you're tall the rear seats lack headroom. Not very comfortable at all for tall people.
I have a 2009 accord and I love it so much
i brought the 2018 red honda touring that came with sport black factory rims and i never look back to camry ever again :)
i been saying it for years accord type r needs to be made!
They'll never do it.... The Accord already used a de-tuned version of the Civic Type R engine, if it was any faster it'd cut into the Type R sales... ☹️ At least the Euro R exists, and the old V6 Accords are plenty fast
@@turbodarkle Isn't that basically what the Acura Integra is? I also think they've made an older Accord Type R in the Japanese market. America just hasn't gotten it!
accord for me
Accord for M.E
Me too
Great review
bought the camry already and i love it
