You forgot to introduce the cruse control system in Toyota when apply cruse control it will automatic following the vehicle speed in front of you if their speed is lower then your setting speed. I don’t know if Accord has the same function or not.
The Accord is sexier and I'm a Honda fan. The real 8 speed transmission in the Camry along with a normally aspirated engine included in the base price vs. a CVT and turbo in the Accord were the deciding factors for me. I chose the Camry. I easily get 40 or greater mpg on the highway. No turbos & dual injection on the Toyota *should* equal better longevity. Just icing on the cake.
true, once honda figures out again that we do not want the turbos and cvts, then their sales will increase dramatically. give me a 4 cyl, 6 speed with low speed follow and brake hold with honda sensing and I'll buy a new accord. i own a 2012 Honda civic 1.8 here, 210,000 miles, no issues and is the everyday driver over 100 miles a day. also own a Mazda cx7 68,000 miles engine, vvt, transmission and turbo failed, suv is still sitting in the grass in the yard.
I purchased a base Accord in March and love it. Yes it has a CVT, which was my only hesitation but I trust Honda more than most with that technology. It had more standard safety features in this trim and just felt slightly bigger. My husband is a 6'3 245 so I wanted him to be comfortable. I also have 2 kids and it by far had the biggest trunk compared to Camry or Mazda 6. My children are young so I always ride with 2 car seats so the lack of 60/40 split didn't bother me. I don't think you could go wrong with either model. The accord just had everything I was looking for and was the most comfortable ride for me.
Thank you, well done review and fair! I still like Accord vs. Camry reviews even though I made my choice three years ago by buying a 2019 Camry. Its strong, economical engine, 8-speed transmission, styling and Toyota reliability won me over. I did make a $1200 upgrade from the base LE to the base SE to get the sportier wheels, trim, steering wheel, better climate control AC, Softex interior, power drivers seat, etc. So far I've gotten the reliability, economy and performance I hoped for so if I were buying today I'd feel comfortable buying a 2021 or 2022 Camry. I'm sure the Accord is a fine choice but I didn't want a turbo engine and CVT transmission.
i had a celica in college and it was incredibly reliable. bout a 07 camry in 2018. love the car. love it. was between an accord or camry and camry came up as available. both are hot cars.
@@zahinfaiz2571 Sorry, just saw this. I've had my 2019 Camry SE over 4 years with no problems other than Toyota's fuel pump recall which I had done with a normal oil change so it was no real inconvenience. Passing on a two-lane highway is fine, downshifting is ok at highway speed. At very low speed, like a rolling stop, downshifting to second gear is slow but acceptable. As mentioned in the video, the Camry SE has a firmer ride than the base LE trim but it's not harsh at all. Much of that is the SE's 18" wheels over the LE's 17" wheels. I'm pleased I chose the SE trim level and would do it again. For $4000 more the XSE trim adds a lot of nice features but its larger 19" rims give a harsher ride and greater danger of a pothole destroying the wheel and tire.
Finally someone who reviews base trims that a LOT of people buy. Personally I'd take the Camry all day long, especially if you plan to keep a car for many years. The Accord is still a solid choice but the exterior isn't quite to my preference and I would prefer not to have a turbo engine/CVT combo long term. Excellent reviews!!
Yea, I wonder if all these small engines will last in the long run. Small displacements with high compression and turbos working them to death in the name of gas mileage. Seems like the larger displacement engines would last longer, kind of for the same reason diesel engines and Chevy small-block engines last so long, they aren't worked very hard most of their life. That said, the Camry engines sometimes use oil too much. I've heard a quart in 1200 miles even. A modern engine that uses oil is concerning. You can' win.
@@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy Yes some Toyota engines did consume oil, these were specific engines but I wouldn't like that either. Luckily it was only specific years and models, they have addressed it but I wouldn't buy one of those myself.
Thanks for reviewing the lower trims. I bought the Camry for a few reasons and mostly for longevity. I don't like cvts and the Turbo oil dilution. And another reason is for dual fuel injection the Camry has port injection and GDI injection on the fuel delivery. Should be no carbon buildup on the valves
I would choose the Camry because it has a geared transmission, and also less gimmicks, that only appeal to people that are not in the know, especially where this unreliable automatic temp control AC system that cost so much more to repair.
@@tonybui135 I think I disagree with that statement. Toyotas had the cvt in corollas since 2013 and not many problems. Camry has no CVT as they used to have 6 speed auto transmission but nowadays they have 8 speed auto transmission
I think the Honda Accord is a better design though the only knock against it is no dual rear fold down seats. However, the engine and transmission on the Toyota Camry is probably going to last you longer. If you only want to keep your car for 4-7 years then I say Honda. If you keep your cars until they no longer run then Toyota is the long term bet.
Hands down Camry. Non turbocharged engines will be more reliable. I have driven both of these base model cars on long road trips for work and I can vouch for the Camry being much more comfortable. The manual adjustment with no tilt and no lumbar adjustment in the Accord would be a deal breaker for me. The seats are terribly uncomfortable on long rides. My lower back was to the point of burning after about an hour of driving. I also found the Accord to ride harsher and let in more road noise then the Camry. I will say the interior in the Accord felt a bit more airy, but the one piece rear seat is a total joke at this price point…come on Honda. I like that the Camry offers a moon roof, blind spot detection, and heated seats as options where the Accord does not.
I'm team naturally aspirated engine too. The lack of lumbar support is a real bummer...even in base models I feel like there should be an option for it. ALl good points my friend, thank you as always!
I love the Accord but HATE CVT transmission, so I choose the less gimmicks for the Intelligent consumer Camry, also many thanks for reviewing the basic entry level models.
I test drove both. But settled for a Civic. Of these two, I thought the Accord Sport 2.0T was the best, having driven each trim level of both brands. Honda handling seemed more sharp and assuring in tight corners and quick response situations at every trim level over the comparable Toyota.
I'm thinking about 2022 civic hatchback and 2022 accord. I really like the manual hatchback but Accord may have more towing power for the family. Any thoughts?
@@BDAILY365 my perspective on towing is to run a bigger, not turbo engine if it's a load of 1000+. However, a Honda Pilot with a 3.5L 250hp 9speed auto offers 3500lbs towing, 5000 with towing pkg. They are rock solid. I've sold many. The RAV4 is in the same crowd with a few driveline issues. My alternative to the Honda Pilot would be a Ridgeline Pickup, if it's in your budget. Inside it feels like a car, handling feels similar to a car, works like a truck. Bulletproof dependability. I'd buy a used 5 year old Ridgeline, midline model and use it as a daily driver and weekend boat tow vehicle. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A LONG DRIVE in the Ridgeline. Then you'll really understand what a thoroughly brilliantly engineered vehicle it is. Lastly, you may want to look at a Subaru, non-turbo Forrester, if you have lighter, under 1500lb duty towing. Very solid and reliable. If buying used, check around the valve cover seals for leakage. The 2.5L Boxer engine has a history of head gasket leaking. If there's any signs, avoid it. If you do buy one, make regular check for leakage. I had one for over 100k...nada Do NOT opt for the Turbo.
Both are great cars! Camry definitely looks sharper, but Accord is slightly larger. Both have good features. Awesome vehicles and you can't go wrong with either!
For more spaces, go with Accord; Turbo plus direct injection engine with have valves coated with gunks, requiring special walnut powder blast to clean after 50k miles, otherwise, the engine performance decrease over time. Honda's famous engine oil dilution by gasoline will result early engine failure. CVT will require more frequent tranny fluid change by every 30k miles, otherwise, there will be premature cvt failure. So many Honda owners reported Honda CVT failure online. For engine and tranny longevity, go with Camry, plus more adjustable drive seat and more air bags. No need to worry about valves cleaning, the tranny fluid is at least 150k safe, many owner drives more 250k with changing tranny fluid at all without tranny failure.
Those issues you mentioned where on the CRV when they first made the switch to turbos and CVT. My 18 Accord has almost 180k miles on it and its been fine
Same. I had a 02 civic for my first car and the second was a 2010 accord. Both used and had nonstop issues and me pumping money into just for another issue to take its place. I just copped the Camry 23 LE yesterday and I'm so happy with my decision
I've owned & have been a Honda Accord fan for many years, but the rear end of the new Accord is just so FUGLY! The Camry looks much better & the Camry's dashboard looks so much more upscale. I also appreciate how the base model Camry comes (standard) with a power driver's seat, that AWD and a Sunroof are also both available on the base Camry, but (neither are available on the base Accord). I would choose the Camry, with the optional Sunroof/Moonroof, because the rear end of the Accord from 2018-2021 are just so FUGLY! :-)
I’m 6ft 4in tall and have driven both cars and The Camry has it beat when it comes to driving. Myself I’m more comfortable driving the Camry. Also take note Honda needs to do a better job with there alarm system. Notice how Hondas have had their tires and converters stolen from their cars then any other cars? That is because you can shake that car without setting off alarms on it. As for the ac my LE Camry has climate control and both passengers and driver. As for power I have 2 friends that legally had raced the LE and mind you The Camry LE has a Eco Normal and Sport buttons but anyway in a distance run The Camry ended up going 12 mph faster then the Accord but when driving on a public road no reason to go faster then the speed limit.
I hope Honda has improved there ride I drove one 7 years ago it rode so rough so I went with a Camry but I am 70 years old the older you get the smoother you like it.
Prime, I’m leaning more towards the Camry, because the all-wheel drive (for New England winter driving) and regular transmission than the CVT (yuck!) and Smaller Turbo combo. By the way great review!👍🏻👍🏻
I've been driving for 40 years. I currently own a 2020 Honda Civic that is just plain murder on my lower back. I driver Lyft and Uber and I'm telling you, this car is nice, but maybe nicer for younger people. I'm actually going to trade the Honda in for a Camry. I just want to be comfortable and they don't make old-school cruisers anymore. Camry it is.
I've owned cars with turbo and aspirated engines. My preference is the aspirated engine. It just feels more natural to me. Plus, I care more about reliability and MPG than speed.
I have an 2007 camry. bought it used. was between an accord and a camry. The camry came up as available. these cars are hot. if they are priced right and in good shape they sell in a second. love my camry SE. Accords are great too.
I always love Hondas. But in this case maybe camry will be my choice. At the end this is a question of money. Than more you can buy for a less money - will win.
Camry would take my money due to the following reasons. 1. Better outlook especially the front end. Accord front is odd and weird. 2. NA engine mated with traditional torque converter transmission is better for longevity with trouble free. Provided normal and regular maintenance applied. 3. Prefer Camry interiors over Accord. 4. Better and solid resell value.
true, once honda figures out again that we do not want the turbos and cvts, then their sales will increase dramatically. give me a 4 cyl, 6 speed with low speed follow and brake hold with honda sensing and I'll buy a new accord. i own a 2012 Honda civic 1.8 here, 210,000 miles, no issues and is the everyday driver over 100 miles a day. also own a Mazda cx7 68,000 miles engine, vvt, transmission and turbo failed, suv is still sitting in the grass in the yard.
The next Camry will have a turbo 4 , the same one that’s slated to be in the new Lexus models . Toyota doesn’t care as much about cars going over 300k miles .
fainally someone comparing the base models. all the other reviewers are reviewing the top trims with upgraded engines when most people buy base or one up from the base with base engine. so, thank you.
I like the interior of the accord touring, friggin gorgeous. But I like the exterior of the Camry and the camry still has the V6. I think the Honda has a cvt tranny and those suck. I dont know, I like them both. I love that touring interior, its a knockout.
Between these two I would pick the Camry but I’ve also heard many reviews mentioning the not altogether smooth drivetrain - sometimes confused transmission. It seems the Hybrid version, even discounting the economy, with its greater torque and bulletproof hybrid system is worth the extra money?
Your review is very confusing for instance, while you are comparing one car to the next in-between frames you don't say what car you are reviewing having me wonder if you are still talking about the Camry or did you switch to the accord. You should always prefix your description with for example: The Honda accord has this or The Toyota Camry has that if someone is only listing to your review they would lose track.
Accord LX beats any base model trim out there. Push to start, adaptive cruise control, full led headlights and taillights. Bluetooth. And most importantly, the exterior is the EXACT SAME STYLING as the Highest trim. The Camry is ugly af if isn’t the XSE or TRD trim
Maybe it’s just you that don’t like the Camry but for me Camry all the time I don’t like that slopping roof on it or check out the Mod on the Camry and Accord Camry looks a lot nicer 😂
Mazda6 is the base model king it has all those features mentioned plus blind spot monitor leatherette dashboard and door panels and on the center console as well as rain sensing wipers which none of these have
I love how the accord doesn't look like a base model while the camry does. If I had to rent one, I'd go accord. The interior feels more upscale, dual zone climate control, quieter ride, more comfortable seats, and more space.
Actually, another person tested it and the only louder thing about the Camry is the engine. If you're not raving it like he is, at highway speeds and on roads Camry is much quieter.
Very Good & Informative Review! Not Bad When You Consider It Has 203 HP, Although I Would Much Rather Have The SE Becuz Of The Sunroof, Leather Seats/Steering Wheel & Push Button Start Options It Comes With....CHEERS!
@@algorerhyth I guess it would have been helpful to have proof read my comment b 4 posting it, I failed to mention which car I was referring too, my bad!
The Camry will last much longer being a non turbo engine and a gear transmission. A Continuous Variable Transmission are not as reliable as a conventional transmissions with a turbo engine that's a disaster that will cost you in expensive repairs in the future unless your leasing it.
Camry for me because I hated slopping roof on the Accord and it doesn’t look nice like other car with slopping roof and it looks skinny but the Camry look wider and fat 😂
Accord all day own one an fell in love when I test drove it camrys look too extra in the front an the head rest small an just the way it’s designed in the inside yeah I’ll pass on the camary not the look that gets my eye Honda Acoord 🔥
The Toyota looks more attractive. I don’t like the grill and the front on the Accord. Also don’t like that awful looking sloping roofline. I’d go with the Camry. It has automatic transmission and no turbo
Camry is more better ! I had Camry and thé motor. 500 000 km ok 👍 ! I have now Camry 170 000 km very very good no problem ! I had before Honda and i m happy with Camry !
The Accord isn’t supposed to be included with the CRV and Civic 1.5 problems according to Honda…they’re all tuned and mapped differently, but there are still some complaints. Honda also said they “fixed” the problem, although that still hasn’t completely stopped complaints of the problem. I mentioned the fact that Camry has Port and also stated that Accord was only direct injected. This isn’t a reliability comparison. Only time will tell anyways. These are redesigned as 2018 models…there’s virtually no long term reliability data at this point. If you want to complain about Honda’s direct injected turbo it’s also fair to complain about Toyota’s clunky 8-speed dating back to the 2017 Highlander that they continue to use
@@PrimeAutotainment the question is how is Honda dealing with engine carbon build up ? They only have one injector per cylinder, the engine will carbon up
@@lx4118 yep and that I’m not sure. It would make me really hesitant to buy any of their newer direct injected engines including naturally aspirated ones
@@PrimeAutotainment I would think this info be in the video not only for potential buyers, but for Honda to fix the problem or let everyone know how they fixed it
Which one would you take? Both are great options for base model sedans, but I'm sure there's one you would take over the other. Let me know what you think!

As for power I have 2 friends that legally had raced the LE and mind you The Camry LE has a Eco Normal and Sport buttons but anyway in a distance run The Camry ended up going 12 mph faster then the Accord but when driving on a public road no reason to go faster then the speed limit.
Thanks John that is so good to hear I will test drive one in the spring .
I would prefer the Accord. I rented a few different Camry’s, honestly I didn’t care for either one.
Great Job Nolan Accord for me
I hope Honda has improved there ride I drove one 7 years ago it rode so rough so I went with a Camry but I am 70 years old the older you get the smoother you like it.
had a 15 accord this 10 gen accord rides 10 times better,without sacrificing roadability
Prime, I’m leaning more towards the Camry, because the all-wheel drive (for New England winter driving) and regular transmission than the CVT (yuck!) and Smaller Turbo combo. By the way great review!👍🏻👍🏻
I've been driving for 40 years. I currently own a 2020 Honda Civic that is just plain murder on my lower back. I driver Lyft and Uber and I'm telling you, this car is nice, but maybe nicer for younger people. I'm actually going to trade the Honda in for a Camry. I just want to be comfortable and they don't make old-school cruisers anymore. Camry it is.
Well your coming from a compact car so any midsized sedan will be better , not just the camry
I've owned cars with turbo and aspirated engines. My preference is the aspirated engine. It just feels more natural to me. Plus, I care more about reliability and MPG than speed.
I have an 2007 camry. bought it used. was between an accord and a camry. The camry came up as available. these cars are hot. if they are priced right and in good shape they sell in a second. love my camry SE. Accords are great too.
The only two brands I'd ever buy
I thought so too until I got Mazda 6 turbo
@@njnikusha At least is japanese.
Both are good but the one that offers a naturally aspirated v6 gets my vote no matter how quick the accord is.
@Florida Man don’t tell me that. Tell the other reviewers about it
I only want a reliable quiet smooth engine. The v6 Camry exceeds that
@Florida Man No
Acceleration is neck and neck but Csmry handles better
You do realize the industry is going turbo all the way . Toyota just hasn't done it yet but it's going to be on the next camry .
@@dannybishop68 Yep. The 275 hp turbo 4 will most likely replace the V6.
Still cant decide? Maybe whatever dealership will actually sell at MSRP instead of overcharging haha
I always love Hondas. But in this case maybe camry will be my choice. At the end this is a question of money. Than more you can buy for a less money - will win.
Camry would take my money due to the following reasons.
1. Better outlook especially the front end. Accord front is odd and weird.
2. NA engine mated with traditional torque converter transmission is better for longevity with trouble free. Provided normal and regular maintenance applied.
3. Prefer Camry interiors over Accord.
4. Better and solid resell value.
true, once honda figures out again that we do not want the turbos and cvts, then their sales will increase dramatically. give me a 4 cyl, 6 speed with low speed follow and brake hold with honda sensing and I'll buy a new accord. i own a 2012 Honda civic 1.8 here, 210,000 miles, no issues and is the everyday driver over 100 miles a day. also own a Mazda cx7 68,000 miles engine, vvt, transmission and turbo failed, suv is still sitting in the grass in the yard.
The next Camry will have a turbo 4 , the same one that’s slated to be in the new Lexus models . Toyota doesn’t care as much about cars going over 300k miles .
fainally someone comparing the base models. all the other reviewers are reviewing the top trims with upgraded engines when most people buy base or one up from the base with base engine. so, thank you.
I like the interior of the accord touring, friggin gorgeous. But I like the exterior of the Camry and the camry still has the V6. I think the Honda has a cvt tranny and those suck. I dont know, I like them both. I love that touring interior, its a knockout.
Between these two I would pick the Camry but I’ve also heard many reviews mentioning the not altogether smooth drivetrain - sometimes confused transmission. It seems the Hybrid version, even discounting the economy, with its greater torque and bulletproof hybrid system is worth the extra money?
toyota for life why
1.no turbos
2.better fuel economy
3.better resell vaule
4.more reliable
5.just beautiful handsome looking cars
Your review is very confusing for instance, while you are comparing one car to the next in-between frames you don't say what car you are reviewing having me wonder if you are still talking about the Camry or did you switch to the accord. You should always prefix your description with for example: The Honda accord has this or The Toyota Camry has that if someone is only listing to your review they would lose track.
Accord LX beats any base model trim out there. Push to start, adaptive cruise control, full led headlights and taillights. Bluetooth. And most importantly, the exterior is the EXACT SAME STYLING as the Highest trim. The Camry is ugly af if isn’t the XSE or TRD trim
yet it doesn't have LED high beams on the base.....
Maybe it’s just you that don’t like the Camry but for me Camry all the time I don’t like that slopping roof on it or check out the Mod on the Camry and Accord Camry looks a lot nicer 😂
You didn’t watched the video he literally said that the accord has halogen high beams
Mazda6 is the base model king it has all those features mentioned plus blind spot monitor leatherette dashboard and door panels and on the center console as well as rain sensing wipers which none of these have
I love how the accord doesn't look like a base model while the camry does. If I had to rent one, I'd go accord. The interior feels more upscale, dual zone climate control, quieter ride, more comfortable seats, and more space.
Actually, another person tested it and the only louder thing about the Camry is the engine. If you're not raving it like he is, at highway speeds and on roads Camry is much quieter.
Very Good & Informative Review! Not Bad When You Consider It Has 203 HP, Although I Would Much Rather Have The SE Becuz Of The Sunroof, Leather Seats/Steering Wheel & Push Button Start Options It Comes With....CHEERS!
You might have sold me on the se
@@algorerhyth I guess it would have been helpful to have proof read my comment b 4 posting it, I failed to mention which car I was referring too, my bad!
@@gregholman2930 No worries. We all knew which you were referring to. ;)
i wished they sold a camry at 26-28k in Italy. At that price we just have a hatchback corolla
Thank you! Very interesting 😊
Both cars are great and reliable. Personally i dont get the base model when i buy cars.
Honda accord are looking so good and sexy on the road more then any cars .
I’d go Camry hands down. I like the trim better and I also don’t like the cvt transmission on the Accord
Accord 💪 still more fun to drive
Yup, I love both brands but the civic was rated most fun to drive compared to the corolla
The Camry will last much longer being a non turbo engine and a gear transmission. A Continuous Variable Transmission are not as reliable as a conventional transmissions with a turbo engine that's a disaster that will cost you in expensive repairs in the future unless your leasing it.
Just got a 22 Camry XLE. Fully loaded and with higher quality interior makes all the difference. Tho my F150 is still the fave. Ha.
If the Honda Accord LX offers with 10 speed automatic instead of CVT, I would buy it instead buying Toyota Camry LE.
and no turbo, trust me, turbos have cost me thousands of dollars in the last15 years.
@@duaneafields I am totally agreed, I don't like turbo at all.
Camry, fewer problems, longer durability.
I've owned a few Hondas before. They are good cars. I'm curious about the Toyota tho. Looking into buying a new Camry.
Key ignition. You have someplace to put your key in. Push button start is the dumbest thing.
I'll take the Accord
Me too. Make mine a Honda. 😉
like the camry but the they dont have cd player anymore
So what’s your verdict?
Boy oh boy
Accord offers way more kit for a notch more
Camry for me because I hated slopping roof on the Accord and it doesn’t look nice like other car with slopping roof and it looks skinny but the Camry look wider and fat 😂
Accord all day own one an fell in love when I test drove it camrys look too extra in the front an the head rest small an just the way it’s designed in the inside yeah I’ll pass on the camary not the look that gets my eye Honda Acoord 🔥
the only problem with the Accords is the Oil dilution problem
Camry!
My last Accord (2008 4cyl EXL Navi) made me hate its weak engine (for the car’s weight) as well as hate its road noise.
Toyota Camry can get more options
Camry for the win, anyday
Camry plus robuste !
Looks Camry
Rear seat space Accord
Base power train Camry
Top power train Accord
Interior design Accord
The Toyota looks more attractive. I don’t like the grill and the front on the Accord. Also don’t like that awful looking sloping roofline. I’d go with the Camry. It has automatic transmission and no turbo
Camry hands down.
Camry is definitely looking better than Accord. Accord is looking like a station wagon to me.
That’s true
I don’t know why Toyota won’t make push to start standard. For that reason alone, I opt for the Accord.
I don't like CVT transmissions.
Lol you are best salesman for Honda accord
Wow.👍
Honda has issues with power seat.
The Accord.
I was waiting for him to leave teeth marks and chew marks all over the interior rubber and plastics and also on one of the tires.
Honda Accord Is Much More Elegant Better Looking Smart Car Than Toyota Camry 👉
Camry is more better ! I had Camry and thé motor. 500 000 km ok 👍 ! I have now Camry 170 000 km very very good no problem ! I had before Honda and i m happy with Camry !
But camry last longer
@@dicksonadams9871 Also Honda Too, we have 40 years old Honda car which is still running good 👌
Honda accord best
Mpg facts are wrong
I’ll take the accord for looks over Camry and the inside of Camry looks cheap all glossy plastic
Accord for sure Camry look outdated Already..
The Camry is cheaper because of its incentives.
I feel like the Camry would most definitely be a win win if they had just a little more features just because the Camry looks better
Accord then Accord
The Accord is much better to drive but I'd get the Camry.
Honda because Turbo.
Camry because naturally aspirated.
Honda anytime and anyday
No word about engine oil dilution for Honda. How about engine carbon build up, there are no port injectors like Toyota
The Accord isn’t supposed to be included with the CRV and Civic 1.5 problems according to Honda…they’re all tuned and mapped differently, but there are still some complaints. Honda also said they “fixed” the problem, although that still hasn’t completely stopped complaints of the problem.
I mentioned the fact that Camry has Port and also stated that Accord was only direct injected.
This isn’t a reliability comparison. Only time will tell anyways. These are redesigned as 2018 models…there’s virtually no long term reliability data at this point. If you want to complain about Honda’s direct injected turbo it’s also fair to complain about Toyota’s clunky 8-speed dating back to the 2017 Highlander that they continue to use
@@PrimeAutotainment the question is how is Honda dealing with engine carbon build up ? They only have one injector per cylinder, the engine will carbon up
@@lx4118 yep and that I’m not sure. It would make me really hesitant to buy any of their newer direct injected engines including naturally aspirated ones
@@PrimeAutotainment I would think this info be in the video not only for potential buyers, but for Honda to fix the problem or let everyone know how they fixed it
@@PrimeAutotainment Toyota had those issues also .
