I think we all know that a Camry is better than an accord. But what the fuck is a ULEV My friend just bought one a 2000 and its so slow, but does it save gas and does toyota have something like it?

Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle. It just means that it conforms to California emissions standards.

ULEV=ultra low emissions vehicle. Yes.

there are pros and cons to camry and accords.

i like both accord and camry.

Yes every Accord I've driven has been faster than my Camry lol

Camry's are teh sl0w.

Accord's: Faster and a bit sportier (especially on the latest generation)
Camry's: Smoother riding and a softer, more luxurious feel.

Pick one. I have a Camry now, but personally if I was in the market for a sedan in that price range and I had to choose, I'd go for the Accord. Just my preference though, although I hate the new Accord's ass.

i just want more Horsepower .....

chronoti · 08-19-2005, 06:49 AM

long running battle there was a article i think from car and driver where the solara was .2 seconds faster than the accord. it's not all about the hp sometimes you need the low end tq.

hondas are actualy realy slow below 3k (imo). but the haul ass after that. just the way they are made.

i like both...

my other half has an 04 accord and its great. responsive on the road and feels a bit more sporty.
my camry drives like a big car, feels heavier and more cushy

That's it in a nutshell.

Accord = sportier feel from the engine to the suspension
Camry = luxury feel from the suspension and just sheer size of the car feel.

Everyone knows the Accord suspension is stiff. My mom bought a '04 Accord off the lot and complains the suspension is too stiff.... I told her I had to change mine to get that feel

well I haven't driven the Camry 4 banger...but the my Accord 4 banger seems slow as F..k with an auto.

SpeedballTrix · 08-19-2005, 12:39 PM

Then get a Celica =P
Or an MRS.

Either one will keep up with the Accord V6 in a straight line, and both will outcorner the honda... the Celica by a small amount and the MRS by quite a bit.

mescalito · 08-19-2005, 04:17 PM

ahh all this benchracing - both cars attract different buyers, and both cars have pros and cons...

and for the ULEV - its not a model, its a grading system by a third party that is designated if the emissions are low enough

gee.. u need to drive one. Accord are much faster than camry but as mentioned, there are pros and cons for each other.

drove a rented 2005 altima and boy, it was amazing. engine was awesome (you hit the gas and it flies) but suspension could be improved.
