Is a Toyota Corolla better than a Honda Accord?

Answer 1

Hondas are the best made cars bar none. Toyota's come in second... not a bad place to be. Either should yield years of economical driving. I would opt for the Honda as I've had many cars but only the Hondas offer a virtually effortless ride for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Answer 2

The Corolla is a fine built car since the early 80's. books and movies have been made telling about them. Since the Corolla is smaller it corners and handles better then the Accord. My astronomy teacher has a 95 Corolla and loves it more then life its self and i have raced it..... with my 93 Honda Accord and with her 115 horse power is spanked my 135 horse power Accord!!! i blasted away on the straight away but on those corners she passed me! The Honda Accord is the most reliable car there is because of the honor and work they put into the Honda and every other product they make. but there is always those few that slip through that are bad and will defect on you. after owning 13 different American cars and they all failed i cant trust Ford, Dodge or Chevy. this little Accord has 201,783 miles on it and just wont quit! as long as oyu change the oil, get the timing belts and hoses changed when your supposed to then your car will last forever. i used to have a 86 Honda Accord and it never had a problem, we gave it away to a paster with 340,000 miles. i ahve had really good days with the Accord's and i have read so many good things about the Corolla, i would choose a Corolla over an Accord. BUt the final choice is up to you, good luck!

Answer 3

well they are kind of different honda accord is more of a sedan based vehicle (directed for older people in their 30s and higher for family use). If you want a Honda that is similar to a Corolla I suggest a Civic. A Corolla is more economical than the accord is gas mileage (MPG are city 30 / hwy 38 for automatic and 32 / 41 for manual) there is less room for passengers in the back and has a more sporty american touch which means u can feel the road while driving. An Accord tends to be bought for ride comfort and long trips, which means it has a smoother suspension. BUt if you really want a bang for your money with money in your pocket. My parents bought a Ford Fiver Hunred for less than the money for a Corolla or Accord. It rides better than an Accord. Passenger room in the back can fit 3 grown people comfortably with more leg room in the back than in the front. They have an option where the back seats also recline. The two captain seats in front are elevated for better road handling. Has the best crash star rating which means you save on insurance costs as well. and has room for the whole PGA Tour's golf clubs. I have driven the Corolla, Civic (older version), Accord, and Ford Five Hundred and i would pick easily the Ford Fiver HUndred not because I like American cars more but the value of the vehicle. Road handling is very important and the view from all angles. Corolla's view is awful trying to reverse with a smal window which is similar to the Ford Fusion. Also Accord has troubling blind spots but handles well. But if you're going with looks i would say the Accord has the best out of all of them. And if you want something similar to an Accord that is stylish I do enjoy the Camry's new look from Toyota, but never drove it.

Answer 4

As others have said, the Corolla equates more closely to the Civic. And the Camry to the Accord.

They are all boring, very competent, exceedingly reliably and easy to insure cars. The Toyotas a bit more reliable (someone is still driving my last Corolla around with 311,000 miles on it), Honda a bit less boring. But which model and what paint color makes more difference.

If cost is an issue, consider the Scion Xa which is made by Toyota but fully optioned and priced for the entry level buyer. Like $13,000. Or if you need volume, the Scion Xb is huge on the inside (but looks like someone pushed over a phone booth and attached four tires).

Every 250,000 miles, I get a new Corolla. Not for reliability reasons, but anything gets a little ratty and tattered after 10 years.

Answer 5

The Corolla is a compact car, and the Accord is a mid size car. I would agree that a Corolla is better than a Accord on these points: Corolla is smaller, better gas mileage, and is to target a younger crowd.

The real question is "Is the 2007 Toyota Camry better than the 2006 Honda Accord?"

Answer 6

You're not making a fair comparison. Corolla is compact-size and Honda Accord is mid-size car. Corolla is the equivalent of Honda Civic and Accord is the equivalent of Toyota Camry.

Both Corolla and Accord are quality and reliable cars. It depends on your personal taste and budget.

Answer 7

I had a 97 accord that I expected to last around 200k miles, and at 100k miles I had to put SO much money into it to get the maintenance done, then at 115k the transmission started going out. I was so fed up with it I traded it in for an 05 corolla. I loved my accord, but I am absolutely loving my corolla. It gets way better gas milage, it is a little smaller, and in the front it is suprisingly roomy. I am hoping toyota works out better for me than honda. but yes, they are both good cars.

Answer 8

There are a lot of differences between the two as Accord would be considered a sedan while Corolla is more of a compact. They are both incredibly durable, Accord will have more space and performance, while Corolla will get better gas mileage and be a lot cheaper >$5000.

Answer 9

I would say no. The Honda Accord is a well built, reliable vehicle. The Corolla is a smaller,cheaper vehicle.

Answer 10

I think the Corolla gets better gas mileage, but the Civic is better than both.
