Not sure if a lot of you guys saw my other post. But, I'm helping my sister look for a car before she gets married (4~ months). She looking at the new Accords. The new Accord that fits her budget is an EX w/ 1.5L turbo paired with the CVT. I am trying to steer her toward a 2023 Toyota Camry SE just because I feel like in the long run, the Toyota will last longer. I am not really sold on the 1.5L in the new Accord. I feel like it's a small motor for a big car. Plus, the turbo and CVT.
I know Hondas have been using the 1.5L since the 10th gen Accord. I've been reading about oil dilution issues. in those motors Plus, not a fan of CVTs. Dad's Accord has a CVT. It's been flawless but that's because we've maintained the fluid in it. Changed every 40k miles.
I'm not a huge fan of the 11th gen Accord looks. But, the Camry has had the same look since 2018. What's your guy's opinion on the two? Price isn't really a big issue. The Camry SE is like $600~ more. But, it's got more options than the Accord EX.
