Pro and Cons - Toyota Camry vs Honda Accord vs Nissan Altima
 

I am looking to buy a car. What do you guys think is better. I am
looking at 2007s. I figure this is the time to get a decent discounted
vehicle. I want a manual.

Get the one where you get the best support from the dealer.

Get the Camry, but we're biased here, it's the Camry group.

He posted to all groups.

Face it: all those cars are so similar, it really doesn't matter which
one he gets. He could throw a dart on the wall and end up with a good
car.

What he DOESN'T want is to end up with a good car but absolutely no
support, with a bad dealer who won't fix warranty items and who doesn't
take care of him and his $25,000 purchase.

It all comes down to his support system. Does he have a friend who works
on Hondas? Get a Honda. Is the Honda dealer 50 miles away, but the
Nissan dealer 3 miles away? Does the Nissan dealer have a good
reputation in the community? Yes? Then get the Nissan.

And so on.

4 cylinder or V-6? Coupe or sedan? What are you used to? Fully loaded or
stripped? Of the three you have mentioned, if you are going "cheap" I'd say
Toyota, Honda, Nissan. If you are going more upscale, then I'd go Honda,
Toyota, Nissan. If cost is the main factor, the Nissan might be slightly
cheaper. Looks are subjective, but I like the looks of the Altima Coupe,
then the Accord Coupe. The Camry is that usual Toyota combination of dull
and odd - not bad, but not as good as the others. You should at least test
drive a Ford Fusion (although a manual is only available with the 4
cylinder).

Most cars are reliable these days. You should just test drive a variety of
cars and then by the car you like the best.

That is exactly why I went with the Honda Accord. The dealership is one
mile from my house and I know the owner's son as well as the service
manager. It is so convenient when I have routine maintenance performed
because I drive it over, and walk home. The last time I walked back to
pick it up, they said they would have drove it to me.... I need the
exercise anyway (ha, ha).

Of course, I got a great deal on the EX L V6 in February '07 because
they sold it to me for $500 below invoice! I wish I could have held out
for an 08, but I needed a car very badly in February.

He's looking for a 2007 and you're anticipating vehicle problems on the most
reliable cars in America. A dealer turning away a warranty repair....Are
you kidding me? Dealers have 2 or 3 people who do nothing all day except
bill the factory for warranty repairs. It's easy money for them or are you
thinking about disputable issues beyond the 3/36 total 5/60 powertrain
warranties?
