Accord Vs. Altima Vs. Camry: Which Is the Best Mid-Size Sedan? - Cars.com 

All depends on personal preference. I had the opportunity to test drive all 3, and I purchased the Camry XLE V6 especially after hearing 301 HP. Not to mention Toyota gave me an awesome deal free maintenance and free extended warranty with no charge. Team Toyota 👍🏿👍🏿

The same guy liked the Accord’s heavy weight feel, and the light weight of the Altima...huh???

I think at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference because there's hardly anything in it. They're all great cars. I'd personally take the Camry.

I’ve owned a 2005 Accord and a 2016 Accord both are flawless vehicles and still rolling strong. Plenty of horsepower and enthusiasm when driving. Excellent on gas and maintenance, oil and filter changes only. Honda hands down 💯

Very disappointing reviews because they was focus only in the infotainment, the most import is the reliability and the power train. It’s a Cars not a smartphones

Review sucked....didn't even mention that the Altima comes with an AWD version.

Nissan Altima, more than 25 years buying Nissan and is a car for more than 350k so no questions ask!!!

I drive a 98 Accord V6 and I absolutely love the simplicity of it. But I actually love the 2018-2019 Accord's looks. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so if you think it's ugly...that's fine. It's a beautiful car in my opinion and when the time comes for my 98 to go, I will definitely be getting a 2.0T 6 speed. Both the Camry and Altima are beautiful cars as well, even in their base models, but when it comes down to deciding which car is the best, I think it's just a matter of opinion and loyalty to a specific brand.

The Camry with a non-CVT transmission will be the most reliable long term

So the Camry lost cause of media screen hello its a car not a tablet.

We just bought an Accord EX, so nice. Any of these cars are excellent quality.

You really can't go wrong with any of these, but since I keep vehicles for 15+ years I would choose the Camry. The non-turbo, normally aspirated engine and non-cvt, traditional geared transmission stand the best chance to be reliable over the long haul.

The Altima is a bad ass and I love it!

Every time I watch a midsize matchup the Accord comes on top but when you reach the comments section everyone says the camry

All 3 have their pros and cons. Nissan offers the smoothest ride and more interior room plus top mpg in the group. Toyota will outlast anything on the road, Honda has decent reliability and inovation.

You guys forgot about the fact that the Altima has optional AWD, unlike its competition

Toyota Camry

I still drive a '98 Accord. Yes, 1998! It still drives smooth and pushes strong when stepping on the gas. Starting to think of buying a new car...Accord baby!

so many angry toyota fanboys in these comments... nuts.

I love my Honda Accord for 2018 I have a unlimited powertrain warranty that came with the purchase of the vehicle the CVT transmission drives just perfect. People are going to have different opinions about just about everything to each is own by what Suits You I love my Honda Accord and I'm going to stick with it.

toyota camry is the best car

Although the Honda one, you still should have had the touring especially when comparing it with the Camry XLE

that well fed guy doesn't know what he's talking about

Im loving my 2018 Camry XSE in Galactic aqua mica color

I test drove V6 Camry and it was great. It has 300 hp and looks great. That Honda turbo will be problematic and I don’t like CVT’s.

Camry is the best!!👍

Accord shown in this video is manual? If it's automatic, does it come with stick style for PRND?

Lol someone else said it, the same guy that liked the Accord’s heavy feel liked the light feel of the Altima. What’s even more strange is that the Accord is actually the lightest car here. I don’t know about the Altima, but I do know that the Camry drives far better than the jittery Accord with its twitchy steering. I also know that the Camry’s interior uses far better material than the Accord. In closing, the Camry came in last because it drives nice but Camry buyers don’t care about a car that drives nice?? (What the heck does that even mean??). And you docked points for the infotainment system while testing the older version of the system as the new system have Apple Car Play and Alexa. Also, I don’t know if many know, but Toyota’s “dated” graphics can be changed by simply changing the theme of the display in the settings menu. That’s simply the default theme, the other themes are nicer. I also don’t think it’s fair that the guy complaining about leg room is on the bigger side, I’m not trying to be rude, but nit every car will fit everyone. The Camry will fit most 4 adults comfortably. Besides, the Accord has no headroom and I would happily trade 2” of legroom for a more upright greenhouse and more headroom. Also, docking points for interior design is so arbitrary! You think The Accord looks good? I think both the Accord and Altima look like pseudo Audi designs. I give the Camry 5 points for sheer originality. 1 Camry 2 Altima 3 Accord

Honda Accord and Nissan Altima need to stop using CVT Transmissions!!, these cars have so much potential just put in a normal automatic or manual please!!

I had a altima since February 2016 and looking forward to own a S-Class 450!

Does upshifting mean going into higher gears like 4th/5th etc ?

I like the Accord but my favorite is the Mazda 6 specifically the top one with Napa leather! & again the camry I think it's gonna be the king of the seals.

CAMRY ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!!

Mazda 6 Signature and Honda Accord 2.0T sport are the top picks in this segment, despite the Honda's ugly looks. The Mazda should have been included in this test.

Toyota is a far better vehicle hands down.

I prefer the Camry after all for its ride quality, reliability and lower cost of maintenance . I dont weight apple car play or Android auto that much. I will vote "dislike" for this review.

Are they being paid to put down the Camry? It's the only car with NA engine and a proper gearbox. Not to mention long term reliabilty.

#1: Accord #2: Camry These the best sedans. The rest are just ok.

Who are these people? at 3:14 "this is the first time I've drove a CVT transmission car" but I'm deciding for you which car is better... Dude where have been in the last 10 years? Lost all credibility. Cars.com should stick to just advertising.

Honda accord is best 👌

2018 Camry xse PERFECTION!!👍❤️💕

1999 Honda Accord still running strong be eating up everything on I95 southeast Georgia

I have an hour commute, heavy traffic most days. What I have learned over the years is a mid-size sedan is the way to go. Not too small so you don't feel cramped or get sorta pushed around by other drivers. Not too big so you can slip by tight situations. MPG is adds up over the year, so the advantage of an SUV does not balance out for me. Comfort, it's a car not a truck. A sedan has a locking trunk. Safety gear stowed out of the way. If you keep good all season tires with a heavier tread, FWD & traction control will get you through most winters reasonably well....or you just should have stayed home anyway.

I want to like the Accord but I do not like the back of it.

Camry still will outsell

Accord very premium 2.0t touring Altima it's great if you go for the ... platinum VC turbo And Camry well they do put expensive interior plastic ..

I hope you make a follow up review to this one in 3-5 years down the line, to include total cost of ownership, reliability, and customer ratings.

Can we see a video that combines the higher output engines plus some other cars like mazda 6 , chevy Malibu ,Subaru legacy , sonata and the optima

The Altima is really nice like for real. I know someone who has it for a company car. I still have a preference towards American cars like Chevys and Fords. Like my 2014 Malibu with the 2.5 liter drives like a dream compared to other sedans.

I see people say that Toyota sells more than the Honda...On top of that, Honda has resisted as other Asian brands have begun relying on sales to daily rental companies to boost numbers in the fashion the Detroit 3 once did. “In February, more than 18% of Toyota’s new vehicle sales were to fleets. Honda does no fleet business.

I wish u guys will post the priced of the car being tested in all video

Owning a couple of altima's, I'll never buy anything with a cvt again! Give me a true auto or a manual, cvt's are horrible in my experience!

For me there is no competition, I'll take Toyota's 8 speed over any cvt

Accord always is the benchmark, the rest compete at the best to try to beat it.

I had an 13 Nissan Sentra which needed a new transmission at just under 75k, I'll never buy Nissan again with the CVT - they're known to have transmission issues, which is why I'm surprised Nissan is #2 over the Camry. I'm now a 2018 Camry owner, I love it but wish they had Android Auto though.

Altima all day!

6 feet tall and 6 feet wide 😅

Altima any day just for the looks....it looks expensive.... Good job Nissan 💓

I think Hondas are excellent cars but let’s be honest the camry looks the best, has the best engine, and is the most reliable. Camry for the win esp the Xse model

I bought a new 2019 Toyota Camry SE yesterday. I love the classic shifter as opposed to other manufacturers who get fancy with the automatic shifter and you have to learn where the P/R/N/D is located; Buttons in Honda are even worse because you can't shift by feel. I don't like Honda's turbo lag, high maintenance CVT, noisy interior, and stuckon iPad as the center console.

NISSAN ALTIMA HANDS DOWN

Toyota Camry everyday... ♥

I don't know what to get. I like the Accord but not the current model. I do not hate it but the front grill, the rear and V4. 2016/2017 I like. I currently drive a 2000 Accord V6. Because of Warranty, I might be driving a 2019. There are really no other car makes that I really like.

Has anyone tested the hybrid versions? Camry and Accord?

Driven 'em The review is other way round 1 Camry 2 Accord 3 Altima

Nissan Altima...any day. 👍

My Friend has an Accord it drives Nice but all the seats are so low.. even in the back seat just felt squished to the roof ..The Altima for room i like the interior abit plain but the head unit has nice big buttons 👍🏾 plus for $1300 difference u can get AWD if needed

You should have tested the 2019 camry xle! The 2019 camry has more features than the 2018 base xle

Get the accord 2.0t it's really fast good handling and a good automatic trans.

WTF scale are they using? 700 out of 1000? Do they think people don't know that is 7 out of 10?

I own a 2018 Accord Sport 1.5t and i watched till 1:05 just to confirm what I already knew. Also a Honda salesman so no bias at all.

Recent buyer of 2018 Honda Accord Sport Manual Transmission. Here are some reasons I picked the Accord to purchase 1. I did a ton of research. Accord was car of the year for a reason. Don’t believe me? Check out alot of other reviews and the great majority all pick Accord as the best 2. My gf is like the lady in this review and loves the Camry interior, my gf owns a Camry XSE. I prefer the Accord interior. I also liked the over all styling of the Accord the best. 3. People will say Camry is lower cost of ownership, I found that not true. I contacted my insurance lady and Accord is $500 a year cheaper on insurance than Camry. My insurance is through Nationwide. This was before I did the 5 month electronic monitoring that saved me an additional 40% off insurance for the life of the car. I now pay $50 less for full coverage on the Accord than I did for liability for my 20 year old Chevy Silverado. 4. If Apple Car Play or manual transmission are deal breakers for you, then your only choice IS the Accord. 5. Accord is spacious all around. Very comfortable ride, tons of leg room as well. Plenty of room in the back seat and trunk. Also like mentioned in this video, alot of storage space for phone, change, cups etc. Lastly the deal I made. Finding a manual transmission Accord is challenging enough. I was able to get it delivered to my house, free window tint and 6 years free maintenance, all for below invoice. My best friend is the finance manager at a Toyota dealership. I know what invoice looks like 😇😇 So for me, I liked it best of the bunch as far as style, safety, value, ride quality, and all the tech included. If you are in the market, I would encourage you to do your own research.

I love all 3 of these... hate the fact suvs are becoming so popular... but when looking at these 3 toyota will be the one on the road longest hands down

HONDA ACCORD 2.0t 10 speed - AMAZING !!!!!!!!

7:57. I just checked out GoldPony's review of the same exact car and he gets into the backseat and he says he is 6 feet as well and he has plenty of leg room in the back seat. What the heck?

You can't have a test to determine the best Midsize sedan and not include the Mazda 6.

Had a 2008 Accord. Worst car I ever owned. Never again will I buy a Honda. Heck, my 1998 Corolla is still better. Kept it but got rid of the Accord!

Camry for reliability and dependability. Anything variable or turbocharged will break.

How about the 0 to 60 acceleration.

A salesman at my local Toyota dealership told me the 2019 Camry will be receiving Apple CarPlay over an update, sadly they did not have any 2019 in stock. Is this true or has Toyota just given up on infotainment competition? I'm interested in a Camry hybrid LE, for the price I think it is a good car with awesome gas mileage, sadly I do use maps quite often and do not think it is worth to upgrade a trim level for navigation.

Accord is by far the best.

Honda with their oil dilution problems makes the Accord a non starter.

0:53 how's the heft of the cupholder?

where is the drag race?

If I blindfolded you and you drove them all you'd choose the Altima. Trust me I've driven all three.

They should have compared the highest trim of each model.

camry has the best powetrain and most reliable than the other 2 no cvt no turbo

Everybody's hating on the Altima but I think it's much better this year and definitely a better value, you can get awd for the same price as the others with just fwd

Camry is the best selling out of all of these cars for a reason. The majority of people don’t care about 0-60 times or if it has a turbo engine. Most want a reliable, comfortable car that will take them from point A to B without any problems for many years. Camry is the best car for that.

I bet the Camry have way less problems than those other cars 🤣🤣🤣

Wow it’s crazy how they rate the cars but I’m acutal sales numbers it’s different and what about doing a review of the top trim levels

The Camry is the only car that will be on the road twenty five years from now.

All are beautiful cars.For me,Altima is my favorite!

camry is more reliable gets best mpg out of these 3 i would go with camry anyday

If you compare the 3 mid-size sedans in predecessor stuff, then the Altima is the winner because it continued the Bluebird line (1957), preceded the Datsun 210 series, herald the Datsun DS, DB, and DA, and foregoes the Type 17-12 series till it met the Type 11 made by DATSUN in the 30's. The Accord and Camry started in the 1970's and 1980's so they are still newbie cars.

If you are a frequent traveler, you’d know to buy the Accord, because airport rental lots are full of Camry’s and Altima’s to rent.

And where is the Mazda 6!!???

How come the best car in the world the CAMRY lost -- No way. Altima CVT transmission is bad.

Speaking in general: When commenting on theses types of reviews , we cannot be bias if we own only one of these vehicles, you have to be opened mined to each vehicle thats being reviewed on here.. me personally , I Think all of these cars are reliable; they each have their own flaws , but great cars all in all. I’ve own a Toyota Camry , and a nissan product. I must say they’re great cars to have as a daily driver , and very superb economically wise on your pockets when it comes to maintenance. I’ve never own a Honda Accord , but have close friends, and family members who has a Honda Accords an they love them...I work for the Nissan manufacturing company, and they motto is safety first and Quality. All n all these 3 manufacturers have done a great job ! I love all 3 cars tbh. If I was in the market for these 3 sedans , and me being a car enthusiast, I’ll have to push these cars to its maximum capacity , performance, handling, fuel efficient, techs, and quality of the product. The Honda Accord, Nissan Altima ,and Toyota Camry each have different specific items I like on each car. For example. I like the pano , and the red interior , quad exhaust pipes of the Camry, but I like the Honda Accord front fascia , infotainment ,and the push button gearbox, I like nissan, rear fascia , engine , and the awd system. I wish I could take all those components an put them into one car! Lol

You can't beat AWD in cities where in snows so ill stick with my Altima
