Because this is a Honda group people have to put down Toyota? Both cars
can't be reliable?

Re: Accord vs. Camry ?
 

I don't know how they get totally away with the EGR, it has to do with being
able to change the valve timing when it's needed. The belted 4-cylinder
Toyota (2.2) is gone for now, we have the 2.4 chain drive. (supposedly good
for 250,000 miles)
Also note with the Toyota VS Accord. Almost everything on a 4-cyl Toyota a
do-it yourselfer can do. The alternator is in plain site, the starter on
top. Very user friendly. On Honda's you may never know where they stuff an
alternator. Now for those who have to pay for the work, the labor rates are
determined by how hard a job is to do. therefore, the job would be cheaper.
Also, many Honda parts cost more.

Re: Accord vs. Camry ?
 

I'll probaly do the regular wear and tear work myself, like changing oil,
filters, brakes, etc. After that there shouldn't be much. On the no EGR
the Camry mechanic told me its a closed system that has been around for a
while. I'm still thinking about getting the 7 year, 100,000 mile warranty
if I can get them down to $1000.00.
