2013 Toyota Camry vs 2013 Honda Accord 

I always considered Honda/Acura to be more Sporty like having suspension that's geared a bit more towards Handling and Reducing Body Roll, having a Stiff Chassis, minimal Sound Deadening Materials leading to Lower Weight and Less Comfort, but Better Handling. Generally Sportier Attributes. Toyota/Lexus on the other hand I consider to be more Comfortable, having a Softer Ride, softer suspension, higher profile squishy tires, Higher Weight from the Thicker Cushioned Seats and huge amounts of Sound Insulation which offers a more Comfortable, Quiet and Pleasant ride. But in turn the things that make them More Comfortable also make it Lean and Roll in Corners during Enthusiastic Driving. My Conclusion is: Camry: You will be More Comfortable in the Camry. The Car will feel more stable at highway speeds, You can drive on imperfect roads with bumps, cracks and rocks and still be as comfortable as if you were sitting on your couch at home. (For Older People) Accord: You will have More Fun in the Accord. The Car is more Engaging to drive. Carving Canyons will be enjoyable. The Car will feel less refined than the Camry over broken roads and there will be more Engine and Tire Noise but hearing the engine only makes you want to Drive More Enthusiastically. (For Younger People) Both: Both Cars are astonishingly Economical. Both Cars are exceptionally Cheap To Maintain. Both Cars hold their Resale Values better than any other Brands. Both Cars will be More Reliable than a toaster. Both Cars will go for A Million Miles. The Accord is just a better car overall. Better engineered, better engine, better handling, better chassis;stiffer, better looking, only thing that puts me off on the accord is that CVT. Car makers are leaning towards CVTs over ATs and Paddles over MTs, Just their way to get better economy I guess. Drive The Accord, Ride In The Camry -Alan

I have a 2006 Toyota Camry that has 106,000 miles and pretty soon, in July, I'll be buying a 2013 model. It has been a super reliable vehicle and I wouldn't pick any other make.It still rides like a new car and the only things I had to replace were a set of tires, a battery and of course air filters along with other items needed for regular maintenance. I used to drive a 2002 Toyota Corolla and it was OK. But the Camry is my favorite car and it will be for a long time to come.

the accord has always been more stylish then the Camry, but the Camry mechanically is a better car then the accord.

I don't wanna start a back and forth banter, but if you look at the accord in the video, he is driving the Touring model (look at the 32 second mark) LED headlights / LED DRLs / etc.

Accord: Fuel economy, exterior styling, better ride, better Safety Camry: Marginally better interior styling, easier to find good deals, ugly exterior,

I bought the Honda because it is the drivers car, the engine is more refined, styling in my coupe is very nice, and I get 38 mpg in eco mode. While both cars are truly neck and neck in reliability, mileage, and value, I think the camry is just tooooo bland in its styling. I have driven a lot of Toyotas, and looks aren't something they are aiming at. And the lights, while seemingly very a small styling cue, are awesome and really make the car pop in visual. I don't think the Toyota is a mistake, but this review does a wonderful job in detailing their respective attributes.

It's about personal preference. I have both vehicles. You can't go wrong with either one.

The accord they were testing was the touring trim level with a 3.5 liter v6 with a six speed auto. It is the only trim level with led headlights.

respected the honesty in the opening sentence :)

Your best value will be in the Camry SE. That would be my recommendation.

my dad just got one of the last 6 speed manuals in ohio! in red looks so sick and is so fast!

I dont like how you knock these cars as the "white bread" cars. Why attempt to knock the most reliable cars in the US?

Camry and Accord are great I think the accord has better looks but that is subjective.

I see most people in my town have toyota Camry than the accord.

The Accord cvt is much better than the Altima's, their forum is a horror story.

I've never seen a Toyota run over 500k miles. I've owned a Toyota. The word "reliable" doesn't fit it at all. It's still miles beyond Honda in terms of reliability.

Camry : Looks Shit and is Shit Accord : Adds a new meaning to middle class luxury

at first he said camry interior look cheap plastic & suit only in rental car...but at the end he said camry look better at the inside...real confuse...lol

i'm a toyota guy got 06 camry with over 260 k runs good almost like new but i really want a stick shift toyota camry dont offer it anymore :( do hondas hold up as good as toyota ? i hear transmissions are little flakey and need more maintenence after 200k then toyotas but idk for sure

If this is an Accord EX-L, why does it say Touring on the back. Does Touring mean something different in Canada?

Qhy they say this accord is a EX-L when clearly the trunk said touring. And everyone knows the toring is only available with the V6

You gotta go some to beat the Accord!

there is no other place better to find an arrangement of cheap plastic materials than in a kia optima and hyundai sonata. and the ride on both of those cars is extremely stiff.

honda killed the show

the camry with the sport pacakge and the dark silver rims beats any model accord

I own a Chevy car in a pontiac car and also Honda I drive a lot and my car would maintenance repair - minor repair with this car there was always somthing to fix but I have two Toyotas and they're reliable I have not put no work in them yet 1998 toyota camry n 2008 camry that never gave me any problems only replace a new starter go camry team

The Accord really looks alot better. I always looked at the Camry as "Grandma's" car.

Honda living on reputation from past. Just traded in 08 Accord, couldn't keep it out of the shop.

These cars are should not be compared. Its like a Mercedes and BMW people buy them for different reason. The Honda drive better looks better. But the Camry keeps its value is affordable and is reliable. People buy them for different reason.

CAMRY LOOKS LIKE SHIT, LOOKS FOR OLD PPL..LUXURY IN THE CAMRY???? WHAT A JOKE..GET A GERMAN CAR OR SOMETHING HIGHER.

Sit in a Camry 2013 and then go sit in an Accord 2013 you will feel the difference. Even though Accord looks better from the outside. Camry definitely looks better from the inside.

2014 honda accord is the way trust me

I just bought the 2014 honda accord exl and its 10 out of 10. I love it. Don't buy camry it sucks. And I just sold my 98 honda civic. It had 400.000 miles and still running great. Honda for the win thanks

All you people don't realize these are the MOST RELIABLE cars in the world!!

How many Honda's do you see on CL with 200k+ miles. Honda has always played catchup to Toyota in reliability. FYI Toyota's manufacturing process is so efficient every car produced is $2500 cheaper than its competitors. Look it up.

Honda sound more like a mans car so ill go wih that not granny camry

Lol, the accord was looking waaaaaay more luxurious than the camry in the video

I just couldn't ever bring myself to buy a Camry for one simple reason, no manual option.

Solid, my 2014.5 XLE Camry is so Sweet, Ash leather int. with mica ext., drives like lexus,, tinted all the way around, my first 2001 has 210000 still running, nothing runs as strong as Toyota!

Camry is the best....

Both are good cars but as far as I'm concerned? my overall nod goes to the Camry and here is why: (Subjective bit's first) The Camry interior is nicer and more comfortable for me with the seats being supportive, but not too hard. The Accord's interior is also 'nice' but too sterile and stark for my taste with the seats being slightly 'bricky'. Exterior styling? both nice and perhaps the Accord has the edge there but for people like me that want to fly under the radar and don't want any "hey.. look at me.. I'm driving a flashy 4 door" negative type attention...the Camry is perfect. For people seeking comfort like me? The Camry beats the Accord hands down in ride quality (Sans SE) with it's more cushy, but still controlled ride. All Camry trims except for the SE are softer sprung but the Accord is one size fits all. If you want a 'firmer' drivers car? get the Camry SE or the Accord but you better pass on the Fisher Price CVT in the Accord because that's another big reason why I avoid the Accord like the plague...the CVT summarily kills any sporting pretenses that might exist. (The stick shift 4 cylinder Accord is actually quite fun). The proper 6 speed automatic in the newer Camry is superb. Performance wise? both 4 cylinder Camry and Accord (auto to CVT) run very similar and there is no appreciable increase in performance with the Accord unless you go to the manual or the V6. As far as safety metrics? The Accord and Camry are very similar except in the small offset frontal crash test where the Camry didn't do as well. Statistically, these types of crashes are relatively rare but I will concede and from what I understand, Toyota is working on this. Incidentally and according to Autonews.."Cars performing poorly in the small overlap test can still receive top-pick status if they perform well in the IIHS's four traditional tests. To get the best rating of Top Safety Pick+, the vehicle needs a good or acceptable small overlap result.".. which is exactly what happened with the Scion TC due to an apparent slight difference in air bag deployment strategy which the Camry isn't utilizing. Point I'm making is the Camry was close enough to not to steer me in either direction at this point and to say the Camry is an 'unsafe' car due to one single, newer safety metric is a stretch. That is my 2 cents worth.. think for yourselves and get what works for you!

I finally understood why you guys in USA see those cars as boring, you buy the i4 version. If you want a i4 go buy a Civic/Corolla, the Camry and the Accord are meant to have a V6.

Reliable wins in my book every time!

Both of these cars are nice but i like the camry more

I would have bought the Accord had they not gone to CVT,so I chose the camry Se,i love this car,ive always had Honda's,but will never own a CVT transmission,my friends have had way too many problems

i only buy camry 2.5

The Camry looks much better inside and out.

I'm thinking of getting the Camry, toyota is freaking realiable! I have a 1992 Toyota 4Runner and it has 725,206 miles and it still hauls, paint wear off, no a/c, no radio because someone stole it. But it still hauls and It won't give up. If my 4Runner won't give up, then the camry wouldn't give up (:

Guys, try to act more natural, you both seem so stiff and controlled. Love your videos though and all the information you provide, keep up the good work. Smile once in a while....

If you care about interior forget about reliability then. Camry runs forever

Accord because Camry got a poor crash rating test. Search up "2013 Toyota Camry Crash Test" and you'll know what i mean. Honda forever!!!

The Camry all the way. I roll with Toyota, Honda is weak!

Camry

I hated my Toyota Camry...... AND my previous toyota corolla. But my 2014 EX-L is amaaaaaaaaazing!!!! Beautiful, great handling, great on gas and soooo many safety features.

The Camry is like this for its mass market appeal, there is a reason why its the best selling car in the US. The Camry provides a driving experience that is very very Lexus like so it's like having the comfort and driving experience of a Lexus for a much much lower price this is why people like it. Many other cars in this class tend to have a much firmer ride which isn't luxury or lexus like. It's the same thing with the Corolla they all drive very smoothly and have a comfortable ride.

My Camry is ok but DULL. I miss my Accord 5spd. I think the best Toyota/Lexus sedan is the Avalon, if you need a V8 the LS/Celsior sedan.

When you get 60,000 miles on the Honda, I hope you will enjoy spending $1500 to replace the CVT transmission belt.

I'd prefer having a Honda!

The updated 2015 Camry looks much nicer! Planning to buy one soon!

Camry if you love rental cars. Accord if you have a mind.

I was recently involved in a purchase of a 2013 Camry LE with the Accord and Nissan Altima as possibilities and here are the reasons the Camry got selected with a couple of observations:The Camry's exterior is subjectively worse looking than the other two but it is not bad and 'flys under the radar' better.The 2.5 in the Camry does not have DI and has a proper 6 cog transmission vs CVT which was not desired.The interior of the Camry came out as most desired as well.Others ok but didn't cut it.

I love the Camry

6th generation(2007-2011) Camry is the best looking Camry out there. Hands down. I definitely want to go back to Toyota. But ill stick with my Accord for now.

Toyota has a much better quality sound system than Honda. I have an 2000 Camry and an 08 accord, Camry blows the accord out of the water. Still doesn't compare to a mach 460 sound system.

I cant ever love the camery

Test drove a 2013 Accord today and I love it! Best bang for the buck...although I do love the camerys interior, the accord still is my choice.

Toyota camry is best.

I traded in my 2008 Accord EX-L for a 2013 Camry SE and couldn't be happier. I've owned 3 Accords and have been loyal to Honda. With that said I haven't been that thrilled with the reliability. My 08 Accord is suffering from oil consumption, bad MPG, horrible road noise and cheap leather. My previous Accords were not much better. The Accord handles very well and drives different than the Camry. I'm enjoying owning something different.

Camry XLE V6 is the best!

The mechanics on RU-vid say the Honda has bad transmissions. Is that true.

camry is so boring, even my dad said it was boring.

Good review, on the two most popular sedans. I think the styling and quality of Honda out shines Camry by a Hugh amount. As everyone already forgot how many millions of Camry's were recalled recently?

what does this guy smoke "camry looks better on inside" accord almost looks Lexus, but more it looks like an old Hyundai Genesis (which was $50k+ car)

engineering point of view, it's an accord. grandmother's point of view, it's a camry. by the way you are selfish....

The Accord is so much nicer inside and out, It doesn't feel cheap like the Camry does. It's also more fun to drive, Gets better fuel economy, especially in "ECON mode, It has better handling, more power, more safety features and dual climate control on all models. We drove several Camrys SE & LE trims, and a few Accords, An EX-L and a Touring. We ended up buying the Accord Touring with leather interior and 18 in wheels.

honda is the best

Camry for the win.

Happy Honda Days was awesome to me. Bought an Accord & its really nice! #TeamHonda

I love both Honda and Toyota. Their reliability is beyond reproach. We all owe them a big thank you, for making such a faithful products. Unlike some other companies, that have traditionally produced pieces of trash on wheels. Having said that, if you enjoy the simple pleasure of driving, and a playful, and edgy nature, in your car, then go with the Accord. If you prefer a more staid driving experience, then go with the Camry. Two great cars. Two different personalities.

Camry

I am happy with my NISSAN PULSAR 2001 1.8 ST. Its 300,800 kms on ODO and it still running great. I don’t feel need to switch to Accord or Camry.

I loved Toyota but the Camry just looks soooo ugly honda is better

in viet nam, honda accord 2014 made in thailand 85.000 USD toyota camry XLE made in USA 2014 95.000 usd :(( haizzzzz

Apart from a few details on the exterior, I think this newer Camry looks worse than the old one. The interior appears to be a huge improvement, though. To me, the Accord has a more upscale appearance, in part because they stole some styling cues from the Genesis (what? Honda stealing from Hyundai?!). The interior looks like it's going after a somewhat sportier look than the Camry's. Both are nice, but don't forget the Poor rating the new Camry got from the IIHS if safety is important to you.

My personal car is 2013 honda accord and i drive a taxi 2013 camry You can even compare I'll give the camry performance 60% and style 27%. Accord performance 94% and style 92%

The Camry's new front honeycomb grill looks not only UGLY but is a maintenance nightmare to keep clean!!! Reminds me of the Lexus front grill. Terrible designs!!!!!!

As Camry owner, I'd buy an Accord.

Camry has better interior Accord is the more powerful

I prefer the accord it is most cold and faster and a better look and the Camry it is like a cheap car

safety of accord, exterior of accord, interior of camry, suspension of camry. i wish i could get a car like that :)

I like carmy

My ONLY complaint about my 2014 Honda EX-L is the fact that it has stupid wood grain inside. I hate wood grain. It looks super tacky. Thankfully its a very very dark wood grain and is only an accent piece..... but still ughhhh! lol.

The Accord is a better car, but the Camry offers a hybrid option.

Honda accord wins! Camry is ugly and look at the interior ewwww

Camry 👍

Accord! Manual! What's wrong with you?!?! you two are like old geezers.. "oh yea i'll go for the automatic cuz its got gear selection to make you feel more attached to the car"... WOW... REALLY...???? These noobs get thumbs down for acting 3 times their grandparents' age..

Without providing facts or statistics, what's the point of saying Lexus competes with the Germans, yet Acura is a sub tier. Based on what criteria though? Price, technology, amenities, etc.? Don't even mention design because that is highly subjective. Last generation's 3 series had an awful interior with plastic everywhere for $50,000. Give credit where it's due instead of buying into badges and brands. You guys probably think 3 series is the best car ever and everyone is chasing them right?

in 2023, a 2013 used Camry is selling for 17-22k+ CAD meanwhile a 2013 accord with similar mileage and trim can be bought for around 15-20k CAD lol...

4:16. Toyota DOES NOT run the Camry in NASCAR. They use the same cars all the other manufacturers Chevy, Ford and Dodge use. They just use their own powertrains, engines etc.. They just disguise the front grill with their respective best sellers like the Camry, Fusion etc. I'm surprised a car reviewer doesn't know that basic fact about NASCAR.

I had a 2011 accord,and now have a 2013 camry,and the camry rides better,quieter,and looks better to me,i like the camry way better,but the accord was a nice ride.
