Any thoughts or ideas? Whats your experience? The 1 Sharxster. Post by Artfulcodger We own a 92 Accord 4 banger and a 99 Camry 6 banger -- the Accord from new and the Camry from km The Camry was tons quieter on the intereior at 39 than the Accord. Of course this is not an apples to apples comparison but my own experience.
The prior suggestion of test driving both and deciding for your self is best. Another indicator for me has always been the weight of the hood and the amount of insulation used. A very uneducated measuring stick but it serves me well Regards The Artful Codger. Post by Artfulcodger Post by Myself Which car is quieter? Car Guy. Art Begun. Post by Ibrahim An 01 accord 4cyl same body style as 02 and 02 camry 4cyl tested at Accord If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that the 02 Camry scored 72 dB at mph.
I also frequently drive an 02 V6 Accord LX. Camry: much superior in insulating road and wind noise. Toyota's hybrid system consists a two-motor transaxle one of the motor-generators delivers motive force that pairs with a 2.
Unlike the Accord hybrid, the Camry's continuously variable automatic transmission also has a simulated manual mode that allows the driver to swap simulated gear ratios using steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
While the Toyota isn't as snappy when pulling away from a stop, it felt more powerful when passing on the highway and sounds quieter under load than the Honda. Its gas-electric transition is less intrusive as well. However, the Camry doesn't feel nearly as composed on the road as the Accord. Its steering is less predictable and lacks the responsiveness of the Honda's helm.
Although we appreciated the Camry's quiet ride and forgiving suspension that gently lean the car around sharp corners, it doesn't isolate bumps as well as the Accord, and its brake pedal feels soft at the top of its travel, which makes it somewhat tricky to modulate in traffic. Both hybrids boast better fuel-economy ratings than their gasoline counterparts, but only the Camry XLE model gets outshined by its own siblings.
Every Accord hybrid has the same government ratings—48 mpg across the board—but the Touring hybrid that we tested , which is mechanically identical to the model, only managed 42 mpg on our mph highway test, or 2 mpg shy of a Camry we tested. The Accord has a sophisticated interior that defies its price tag. The attractive materials, precise controls, and smart design make it easy to enjoy inside.
The digital gauge cluster looks slick and offers myriad menus, but both it and the 8. Still, the user-friendly infotainment system has large onscreen icons and physical buttons and knobs. The leather-wrapped steering wheel feels lovely to hold and hosts intuitively bundled controls for active-safety and audio system features.
It's too bad that Honda's initially nonintuitive push-button shifter arrangement diminishes the Accord's mostly flawless ergonomics. Otherwise, front-seat passengers benefit from comfy seats, and those in the back can enjoy 2. The Accord hybrid's battery pack is mounted under its rear seat, so it doesn't affect the car's 17 cubic feet of trunk space, which is enough to swallow seven carry-on suitcase boxes; the Camry can accommodate only six.
The latest Camry's interior is vastly better than its predecessors, specifically its panel fitment and plastic materials. Although its design is a bit busy for some tastes, which results in some awkwardly placed controls, nothing inside the Toyota is offensive.
However, its menus are logically placed, and it was highly reliable during our week with the Camry. The Camry's other tech features impressed. Our top-spec tester came loaded with a collision-warning system, pedestrian detection, intelligent radar cruise control, lane-departure warning, steering assist, Qi wireless charging, and a JBL sound system. The Camry is also available with a inch color head-up display and a 7-inch TFT information display in the gauge cluster. It's one of the last of its kind in the segment, as most rivals have gone to turbocharged four-cylinder engines.
The Camry can also be had with a horsepower, 2. The ultra-refined, 3. Just as the Accord's turbo four is Honda at the height of its powers. Toyota's big V6 delivers gobs of power without hesitation and will easily chirp its front wheel under aggressive acceleration. The dual exhaust will even emit a pleasing, bestial growl — something I never thought I'd say about a Camry. According to Motor Trend , the V6 Camry will hit 60 mph from a standstill in just 5.
Both cars posted nearly identical When not in speed-demon mode, the Camry returns to its normal state as a comfortable, well-mannered family hauler. Its cabin is a quiet, refined, and all-around pleasant place to be. Both are strong contenders with virtually identical levels of refinement, ride quality, comfort, interior ergonomics, cabin space, and even fuel economy.
Interior fit and finish as well as build quality are tied too. The Camry's silky smooth V6 and trick camera system impressed us greatly. And while beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, we certainly found the Toyota to be the more aesthetically pleasing of the pair. Though the Accord's 2.
And the Accord is the more exciting of the two — certainly the case with our six-speed manual-equipped test car. The 2. It's as gutsy as they come, and it loves to be pushed. The higher the revs, the sweeter the tune it sings. The Accord simply felt more comfortable and eager to please at high speeds.
The Camry was certainly capable of delivering when the driving got spirited, but it never truly felt at home. And then there's the Accord's new touchscreen infotainment system. For the first time, a Japanese automaker has stepped up to the plate with a system capable of going toe to toe with its rivals from Germany and the US. This is a major letdown for the Camry and other Toyota products we have tested in recent years.
In an age when infotainment is growing in prominence, a great, user-friendly system in a must-have these days, and Toyota's just isn't good enough. It's a high-tech car, yet approachable. It's lighter and smaller, yet roomier," I said in my review of the Accord. This is really Honda at its finest.
