Living in the Wichita area, including Kansas City, Derby or Hutchinson, Kansas, can mean a lot of driving, so it pays to have a dependable, yet comfortable vehicle that also gets good gas mileage.

At Eddy's Toyota, We feel so strongly that the Camry will meet your needs, we invite you to check out the detailed comparison of the Camry vs. the Honda Accord that we've provided for you here. Read on to find out more about the ways that the Toyota Camry is superior to the Honda Accord.
Safety
While Both the Camry and the Accord boast multiple airbags, the Camry offers driver and passenger knee airbags, mounted low on the dashboard, which enhance the level of safety and also help prevent serious injury during a crash. Accord doesn't offer knee airbags. Toyota Camry offers the option of the cross-path warning system, designed to alert you to potential obstacles both in front of and behind the vehicle. The Accord lacks this technology. Camry also offers an optional feature on the XLE trim called "Safety Connect," which uses GPS and cellular data to help track your vehicle if it's stolen or if airbags deploy. The Accord offers navigation, but no live-response system. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rates the Camry as a "top pick" for 2012 crash tests, a designation not awarded to the Accord. In addition, the Toyota Camry comes with complimentary roadside assistance for 2 years or 25,000 miles. If you run out of gas, need a jump start, lock your keys in the car or any other scenario where you require assistance, Toyota has you covered. Honda does not offer complimentary roadside assistance with the Accord.

Reliability
Before we can begin talking about reliability, we need to talk about scheduled maintenance. The best way to make sure that your new vehicle maintains its dependability is to keep up on regular maintenance. While Honda offers no complimentary maintenance plan standard, Toyota will pay for your scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 25,000 miles including oil changes, tire rotation, lubrication and any other recommended scheduled maintenance that your new Camry requires. In addition, J.D. power and associates also ranks the Camry significantly higher than the Accord in a long-term dependability survey.
Performance
Not only does a comparable Camry model outperform a comparable Accord in terms of speed and acceleration, the Camry is more fuel efficient according to the EPA. In addition, the Camry has larger brake rotors than the Accord, which help the Camry stop in a shorter distance than the Accord. the Camry also comes standard with an automatic transmission at every trim level. With Accord, an automatic transmission is an option that costs extra. Additionally, in various agility tests such as cornering and figure-eight, the Camry easily outperformed the Accord. The Camry also boasts a tighter turning circle versus the Accord. Car and Driver tested each car under full throttle and found that the interior of the Camry is quieter than that of the Accord.
As tested in Motor Trend the Camry Hybrid is faster than the Accord Sedan Sport 2.4 4 cyl. (automatics tested):
Comfort & Interior Design
When it comes to rear legroom, headroom and shoulder room, the Camry beats the Accord at every cab configuration and, for more versatility, the Camry has split folding rear seats where the Accord does not. Additionally, the Camry features gas struts to hold up its hood where the Accord has a more dangerous prop-rod support system.
