Hondas are the best made cars bar none. Toyota's come in second. not a bad place to be. Either should yield years of economical driving. I could choose the Honda as I have had many cars but only the Hondas offer a virtually effortless ride for hundreds of thousands of miles.

I think the Corolla gets better gas mileage, but the Civic is better than both.

The Corolla is a compact car, and the Accord is a mid size car. I could agree that a Corolla is better than a Accord on these points: Corolla is smaller, better gas mileage, and is to target a younger crowd.

The real question is "Is the 2007 Toyota Camry better than the 2006 Honda Accord?"

I have both cars. they're both dependable and get great gas mileage. I do not think one is better than the other.

well they're kind of different honda accord is more of a sedan established car directed for older people in their 30s and higher for family use . If you want a Honda that's alike to a Corolla I propose a Civic. A Corolla is more economical than the accord is gas mileage MPG are city 30 / hwy 38 for auto and 32 / 41 for manual there's less room for passengers in the back and has a more sporty american touch which means you can feel the road while driving. An Accord tends to be bought for ride comfort and long trips, which means it has a smoother suspension. BUt if you really want a bang for your money with money in your pocket. My parents bought a Ford Fiver Hunred for less than the money for a Corolla or Accord. It rides better than an Accord. Passenger room in the back can fit three grown people comfortably with more leg room in the back than in the front. They have an choice where the back seats also recline. The two captain seats in front are elevated for better road handling. Has the best crash star ranking which means you save on insurance costs also. and has room for the whole PGA Tour's golf clubs. I have driven the Corolla, Civic older variant, Accord, and Ford Five Hundred and I could pick easily the Ford Fiver HUndred not because I like American cars more but the value of the car. Road handling is important and the view from all angles. Corolla's view is terrible trying to reverse with a smal window which is alike to the Ford Fusion. Also Accord has troubling blind spots but handles well. But if you are going with looks I could say the Accord has the best out of all of them. And if you want something alike to an Accord that's stylish I do enjoy the Camry's new look from Toyota, but never drove it.

As others have said, the Corolla equates more closely to the Civic. And the Camry to the Accord.

They are all boring, competent, exceedingly reliably and easy to insure cars. The Toyotas a more dependable someone is still driving my last Corolla around with 311,000 miles on it, Honda a bit less boring. But which model and what paint color makes more difference.

If cost is an issue, think about the Scion Xa which is made by Toyota but completely optioned and priced for the entry level customer. Like $13,000. Or if you need volume, the Scion Xb is big on the inside but seems someone pushed over a phone booth and attached four tires .

Every 250,000 miles, I get a new Corolla. Not for dependability reasons, but anything gets a little ratty and tattered after ten years.

I could say no. The Honda Accord is a well built, dependable car. The Corolla is a smaller,cheaper car.

There are lots of differences between the two as Accord could be considered a sedan while Corolla is more of a compact. they're both very lasting, Accord will have more space and performance, while Corolla will get better gas mileage and be lots cheaper &gt,$5000.

why get a TOYota, if you have to have an ota get a Real Ota.

Get the Honda instead it has a better, proven record and the parent company is more stable.

Depends on what contact you have had with either car, size difference too, other than that, it's pretty much up to each individual.
