Not to mention Toyota’s have timing chains too.

As do many Subies now including the Legacy.

This has to be one of the greatest lines I have ever seen in an auto review.

Camry and Accord in that class/price range

everything else is garbage

Hyundai needs another 20-30 years to come close to Honda and Toyota.

I don't think I trust C&D anymore, the results are more about who paid them the most in ad money than actual fair comparison.

If I were to give an objective comparison the Accord would probably be 3rd place. The Camry probably 1st or 2nd place. The Legacy is a 2nd - 3rd place for me The Altima is last and Sonata is 2nd to last.

I sat in a number of Accords and they are great cars no doubt about it but Hondas have had a lot of quality and mechanical issues the last few years. You probably heard on Scotty Kilmer too, that Honda's Direct-Injection is problematic. As much as we bash Toyota, the Camry actually improved a lot the last 2 years.

The Legacy is the most underrated car, it's the least powerful even at the highest trim and it's sad the H-6 is no longer offered. But it is equivalent to an Audi A4 in terms of performance with AWD.

I know that Toyota is offering AWD for Camry 2020 but their AWD system sucks but the Camry is still a very solid car with very few issues in 10 years+ of ownership. Accords are also reliable just have to watch oil consumption for that DI engine.

Any Toyota Camry holds a higher resale/trade-in. It's that simple.

The good one owner used Camry's sell quickly on C/raigslist. Have to act quickly to get the good used ones.

I sometimes confuse them with my ES 350 from the rear. I am sure you can load up a Camry to get close to the ES.
