From: techtechxxxx on 28 Sep 2007 21:55 I am looking to buy a car. What do you guys think is better. I am looking at 2007s. I figure this is the time to get a decent discounted vehicle. I want a manual.

Fully loaded or stripped? Of the three you have mentioned, if you are going "cheap" I'd say Toyota, Honda, Nissan. If you are going more upscale, then I'd go Honda, Toyota, Nissan. If cost is the main factor, the Nissan might be slightly cheaper. Looks are subjective, but I like the looks of the Altima Coupe, then the Accord Coupe. The Camry is that usual Toyota combination of dull and odd - not bad, but not as good as the others. You should at least test drive a Ford Fusion (although a manual is only available with the 4 cylinder). Most cars are reliable these days. You should just test drive a variety of cars and then by the car you like the best. Ed

I joined the Camry group because I have problems with my 07 Camry. I wanted to know if the other owners experienced the same weird things that I have experienced with the car. So I wouldn't call myself biased. The reason I chose the Camry over the Accord when I purchased the car last year was due to the "new body" design. It was love at first sight. But like most relationship there will be some love-hate issues. I hate the Automatic transmission response of the 07 and have been with the dealer several times for warranty work due to said issue, and up to now the response time is still the same, but a little bit better. If your going to test drive the Camry, try accelerating quickly from a turn on an intersection or full throttle from a rolling start and see if the car will hesitate. Anyway it wouldn't matter if you got a stick shift. The Camry stick shift is only available with the 4 cyl. Check what tires comes with the Car, some owners said that the brdigestones didn't last for a longtime and were noisy at high speeds, my car came with michellin and they are fine. The 07 Camry has no coupe version like the altima and accord. The Solara is just a carry over from the 5th generation camrys and not the 6th gen 2007s. There were no consumer reports yet when I bought my Camry in 2006 and there are several websites now that reports discontented buyers of camrys. Try to google <2007 camry transmission> and see what pops out. Dealer support is also good to consider since I've been back to 2 different dealers for warranty support and none of them turned me down and I didn't even purchase the car from them. Though Toyota of North Hollywood kept me waiting for a very loooong time before finishing a simple fix. And lastly, If the 2008 Scion Xb was already out there last year, that would have been my car now =) On Sep 29, 11:29 am, "CamryMan98" <Camry...(a)camry.com> wrote: > Get the Camry, but we're biased here, it's the Camry group.<techtechx...(a)gmail.com> wrote in message > |
