........."my anecdote"..........aka ..my experience is what I will base the purchase of my next new car on.
I don't care if Consumers rate the Camry good or bad, I will buy Toyotas on ...my..... experience with them so I don't give a damn if some anonymous poster says quality has fallen.
And if your next Camry is a lemon, will you swear off buying Toyotas?
I didn't say Camry quality fell. I just your experience is just one of about 400,000 in that model year.
Camrys are seen as cheaper than Accords. I don't think they really are, both are super reliable, but Honda has that stigma of costing extra.
When I lived in Southwest Houston which is heavily Indian/Pakistani, every parking lot was at LEAST 50-60% Camrys! My indian relatives have 4 drivers and 3 camrys in their driveway. It's all they will buy. No corolla, no rav4, no sienna minivan. They buy a used camry and drive it until it falls apart.
My Northern Indian/Pakistani wife's family is the opposite... They own Civics, Accords, TSX's, MDX's...
I've always found Accords more fun to drive than Camrys, as far as FWD sedans go. A bit louder inside, but better suspension and livelier engines. Better interiors, cooler designs. All of which are things that many buyers would find negatives.
This is your opinion. I test drove both and camry is quiter and more comfortable. Stop spreading your propaganda. Accept what the truth is.
I've been in many Camrys in my life, as new as 2013. And more Accords than you can shake a stick at. (The number is three digits) And I've driven an Accord for 2 years. I haven't noticed any real difference in how comfortable they ride. If anything, I find the Accord a little more comfortable. Camry is a little quieter, but at their noise levels noise is a non-issue.

Still the same.
