Re: Comparing Accord to Camry
Bryan,
One last thing, if I remember correctly V6 Camrys run on premium gas, V6 Accords take normal. On the long run it will add up. Oh yeah, I never liked the Camry's dashboard, the Honda's larger dials and thinner pointers are a bit more pleasing, but it's subjective. But you'll be looking at them for a while!

Re: Comparing Accord to Camry
I like ABS and wouldn't buy a car without it. Having said that, I
drove in the snow many years without it. Until a few years ago, nearly all the cars on the road did not have ABS. ABS is not magic; it doesn't take the place of good winter driving skills. It is a wonderful invention, but like four wheel / all wheel drive, I think people sometimes count on it too much. If you like the Camry and its amenities including ABS, it may be worth the few thousand to trade up. I would certainly not do this just to get ABS. As others have mentioned, I think the ownership pattern is strange and would make me a bit suspicious. Most 2002 models are one owner cars. Good luck.
