V6 Jap. Sedans... who rules?

[mykboo]

ako camry tas 19" wheels, drop, HID lahat and clarity sounds...

cefiro is dated... and looks are more on the professional side... pero i saw a cefiro on 18" racinghart 5 spokes yesterday angas

[big chips]

accord v6 then camry then last na cefiro ! luma na kasi sobra e ! tsaka endless facelift na nangyari ! bilis pa bumaba ng presyo hehehe

kung accord lowered mags exhaust hid !

if camry mags lowered ok na !

i saw an accord with dual exhausts. are dual exhausts functional on V6 engines? or should you stick with the single exhaust?

[borly]

there is one camry i like and one i don't...

i like this one beige camry, that i parked beside in gb3, with gunmetal Prodrive mags... Lowered with h&r and xenons for his lights...

the other is a black riced out camry with green underneons and riced out products   from eyelids (actually mukhang eye shadow na) to fugly bodykits...

that aside i think the facelift of the cefiro body (though it has been around for quite some time) is very appealing to me...

No offense.

As a humble enthusiast, I just want to help and share my opinion. All the 3 cars  have been equally judged by ME. We really like BIG sedans... So, I hope this helps.

I don't want to be boastfull. But we have those 3 cars. Surprisingly, I still LOVE the CEFIRO. My uncle owns the Camry and the Cefiro. We own the Accord. But,we all get to swap cars often.


Cefiro:
- great ride (maganda manakbo) LONG and SHORT drives
- ugly sound system
- a bit tight inside
- the fuel efficiency is great for the ride and for the speed it gives you
- boring interior
- perfect visibility
- great steering
- UGLY/ BUMPY/ Rough shifting
- Nice braking
- It has something that makes it feel like it has the LEAST bumpy ride. I don't know what it is. I don't know why.


Accord:
- great interior
- I don't like the amount of fuel it gulps
- HEAVY steering
- Awkward exterior
- Nice tires and mags
- you feel too low (the windows are too high for the passengers)
- great tranny
- Nice Audio System
- a "BIT" bouncy (depends on the road)
- I HATE THE BRAKES!!!!!! I've been driving it for more than  2 months. SO, no excuse that I'm not used to it.

Camry:
- Perfect Trannsmission!!!!!!!! 5 star! No ROUGHNESS at all
- Tiring CENTER PANNEL ( I just hate the HEAD UNIT!!!)
- GREAT INTERIOR
- THE BEST LEGROOM,HEAD ROOM, TRUNK SPACE
- A bit bouncy on SOME roads but SMOOTH on MOST  BUMPS or Lubak
- Great fuel consumption
- The braking feels CHEAP (help me explain)

I chose the cefiro because overall, it's just so fun to drive.

The Camry is fun to dirve but kind makes me FEEL or THINK I get tired EASILY. I just don't know why it feels CHEAP!!!!! THere's something wrong with the seats... I can't explain. The Cefiro feels the most EXPENSIVE! You feel like YOU'RE  RICH. The accord is nice also but I hate the steering. It's hella heavy. It's fun to drive but kind of ticks me off when I step on the brakes. It really has a POWERFUL braking system. But, FOR ME I think the leveling of the brakes need to be redesigned. MASYADONG KUMAKAJOT.... And, the acord kind of makes me feel smal coz the windows are too high and the seats are too low.
THe CEFIRO HAS THE BEST BRAKING POWER. It's so wierd that I find the Camry smooth when I pass by EDSA going through a lot of road bumps. But, when I drive along SLEX it feels A BIT BOUNCY!!!! Wierd!!!

for the Accord:

Mugen grill, chin (Type R I think)

Mags:

Remove the chrome mouldings of the rear bumper. I like to keep the doors, windows, and the side mouldings to be chrome to make it look elegant.

2" drop!


For the cefiro:

Keep the grill

elegant mags:

1.5" drop!!!


For the camry:

Keep the grill (just remove the chrome mouldings of the bumpers and the chrome of the grill)

2" drop

mags:

I'm  a JDM fan so I want to give the cars a HINT of JDM tuning.

ALL the exhausts will be 5 zigen gt, Blitz, or HKS!!!!

[hungryalien]

if i will be driven most of the time, the cefiro..

if i will be driving most of the time, the accord.

i've tried the v6 accord from sta elena to manila.. man, the power is just sweet.

the only thing i hate about it is the "wood" trims.. tacky.

camry? err.. well looks boring to me..

i "heard" that mitsu is bringing in the galant 2.5 and 3 liter version soon..

[Arnold]

Camry.

Color black.
Wide body kits.
Black RS Watanabe wheels 18" maybe.
Fujitsubo mufflers.
Valdi sport or Techno pro spirit gt wings
Lowered.
HID lights.

Looks ricey though but I like it

I saw a camry one time in alabang I think its a AMG mags nagmukhang Mercedes elegante kasi

[greenlantern]

Honda Accord for me.

[no]

I'd pick the Cefiro 3.0, just change the mags and remove the alien hood ornament and you've got a sleeper. The Camry and the Accord I have driven. The Accord is much sportier of the two. It's the rear tail light treatment which I don't like the most. If it were the Euro spec Accord then it would be another story. As for the Camry, it is just too plain for me. The  Accord and the Cefiro have more charisma? IMO. Plus I've been hearing complaints from some people I know who own them about the auto transmission being confused??(gear hunting). Maybe a few isolated cases.

amidst all of this action, where is mitsu?  

the 9th gen galant 2.4L mivec and 3.0L v6 are not available locally. only the us market has the 9th gen galant. imo, the exterior is fugly!  

the usdm 8th gen from 1999 to 2003 has the v6 3.0L with 190bhp and only comes in auto.

hands down to the jdm and euro 8th gen galant vr4 with a v6 2.5L and twin turbo with 280hp and awd. comes in m/t and tiptronic auto.

between the accord, camry and cefiro,
i'll choose the accord for the engine and the camry for the looks.

The Accord isn't a perrenial Car & Driver "10 Best" for nothing.

Even with the 5-sp automatic, C & D has tested it to do 0-60mph in less than 7 seconds.  With a manual, it's even quicker.

The Cefiro with its 4-sp automatic can't even come close.

If speed and handling matters to you more than posing ability, get the Accord.

[stradale]

Accord for me.  Am an engine/performance oriented car enthusiast and the Accord beats out the other 2 in this regard. I also like the looks of the Accord far better than the other 2, which are too conservative IMO.

Interior-wise I like the Camry's better but the Accord's ain't bad either.  The Cefiro, while no doubt a fine car, is too old a platform to invest on.

[thops]

Camry... pag tatay na ako. for now ACCORD!

[DTNS]

the 9th gen galant 2.4L mivec and 3.0L v6 are not available locally. only the us market has the 9th gen galant. imo, the exterior is fugly!  

the taiwan market also has a 9th gen galant. they call it the "Galant Grunder." check this out: http://www.5230.com.tw/grunder/

it's fugly IMO though.

I think we should also include in the comparison the new 3.3 liter Hyundai Sonata even if it's a Korean car.
