Re: Accord vs. Camry ?
We just got a Camry
Why? The Camry (used) was a bit cheaper. The t-belted Camry is a noninterference engine, safe if the belt were to break, however, the chain driven (VVIT?) Camry has no EGR system, and no belt to change. These were my choices; and as others said, both fine cars. -- Stephen W.

We're leaning toward a new 05 Camry because a used one with 25,000 miles is about 16,000 and a new one with a few more goodies is $18,400. What does Camry do instead of EGR? This is one subject I've not seen mentioned. I was aware fo the noninterference engine but I don't know if 4 cylinder VVIT has a chain or a belt. I did however notice that Honda mentions a 110,000 miles service interval in its brochure but Toyota is silent. Comparing new cars, the Toyota in Silver looks nicer, has a drivers power seat, radio controls on the steering wheel, and is quieter on the hiway. Only things the Honda has that we'd like is telescoping wheel and lighted vanity mirrorss (wife, not me). tnx Hank "Steve" <hansensw@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:b9Rme.862066$w62.708246@bgtnsc05-news.ops.worldnet.att.net... > We just got a Camry > Why?

Re: Accord vs. Camry ?
yeah but the Honda has more durability. they've done away with the timing
belt in ivtech engine. and just because toyota doesn't say you need a service within 110,000 miles doesn't mean it won't need any service. chances are it will need service before that amount of miles. toyotas aren't built the same as honda. hondas have excellent engines and the whole car is put together well. i'm sure in the long run you'll be alot happier with the accord and you can buy one with the same features. -jeff "Henry Kolesnik" <kolesnik@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:EBZme.749$RV5.322@newssvr30.news.prodigy.com. .. > Steve > We're leaning toward a new 05 Camry because a used one with 25,000 miles > is about 16,000 and a new one with a few more goodies is $18,400.

Re: Accord vs. Camry ?
Both are fine cars and either one will go a long way.
You might want to check out the local dealer service departments to make this decision. I was fed up by a local Toyota dealer services to make a switch. However, I have heard bad story the other way around from my friends. Do not let the price and features fool you. Both cars are great if you have a good local dealer who can serve you.
