Family Sedan Choice - Camry, Accord or Cefiro

[Dearjoshua]

With the new Honda Accord 2008, what would be your choice for a family sedan?

 

My personal favourite is Accord, but at sub-100K price, it lacks keyless entry and the buttons-full interior is a minus.

 

Camry is too common on the road and now also used as a taxi. one plus point is CNG option for JDM model carried by PI.

 

Nissan Cefiro is my last choice due to its poor FC, and ah-pek outlook.

[Zerstorer]

Stretch to 103K and you may consider the Ford Mondeo if you enjoy driving.

[Comnao]

get the 2008 JDM Honda Inspire for 101K at some PIs

3L V6 will cream yr butt smooth smooth

[Klchua]

honda for tha I vtec engine....

[Toyo]

Accord looks like a good choice among the three. nvr consider subaru lagacy?

[Maroon5]

among e 3 mentioned, thk i wil plump for the accord. but out of it, i thk the new mondeo gets my vote.

[Friendstar]

mondeo really really nice

 

not to forget it won the coveted top gear car of the year.

Legacy seems small to be compared with the mentioned three.

ya man! and pretty high tech stuff on board....

but a fren of mine act opted for camry after seeing mondeo...guess singaporeans stil hv some reservations over contis...

[Ah_benz]

Vote for Borneo Motor Camry, and is not used as Taxi.

[Comnao]

Legacy model is 4.5yrs old model ... target for replacement by Oct 2008

going end of life soon

 

but i still love my LGT to bits

[Fondue]

Voted for Cefiro .... actually, voted for Cefiro 230JM.

 

For less than the price of 2L honda and camry, you get

1. a smooth 2.3L V6 engine

2. factory fitted leather

3. made in japan

4. 4 airbags

 

As for FC, the differenc should be minimal. I don't know about Accord 2008, but Camry at most give you 0.5km/l more than the Cefiro, and for someone willing to spend close to $100k on a car, the extra cost should be trivil .

A friend is getting 11km/l consistently from his 230JM with 80% hwy while I'm getting 9km/l with 60% hwy. Heard the FC for Thai Camry isn't too great either.

 

Prob I Ah-pek already, but I really prefers the look of the Cefiro over the Camry (have not gone to view Accord 2008 yet, but I have NO love for the previous model Accord from Kah).

 

But if you are still young to appreciate the look of the Cefiro, then you are better off getting something else.

I vote for BM Camry - not use for Taxi, luxury & stylish.

The Accord - looks like the Sonata (imo).

The Cefiro - old model, new model coming soon.

Actually, all 3 cars has its strength and weakness. If only you can combine all these attributes into 1 car.

 

Looks - Camry

Engine - Accord

Chassis - Cefiro

Transmission - Accord

Space - Camry/Cefiro

FC - all 3 are not that good. Sedate driving will give u 10km/L for Accord/Camry but not Cefiro.

 

 

Consider something else which give all the attributes of the above yet not so common.

E.g. new Mazda6 (akan datang) and Ford Mondeo.

[Axela72]

Why dont replace Cefiro with 2L Shlphy in the above comparasion? It is so much cheaper, newer version and not to mention better FC as compare with Cefiro. Value for money as compare with all the 3 models listed.

[Latioboy]

Bro Fondue ! I agree with you!

No offence to anyone here. But the 230JM is few K cheaper than THai camry.. Morever, its more luxurious.

Leather seats are MADE IN JAPAN. feel of sushi-ness is there....

Made in Japan the whole car.. cheaper than Thai Camry;..

I don't really understand why people choose Borneo Camry..

Well..

One mans' meat is another mans' poison...

 

That's why we are all diff ! =]

 

Bro Fondue, ur FC is 9km/l with 60% highway ? Not bad ah

My mom gets 8-8.5 for 10% hway

If 100% city, she will get about 7.5 to 8 also.. Ard there.. Depends on her right foot, and mood. Haha.

[Tribeca]
