Honda is very odd today as if you get the bottom trims, you get the gas engine. As you go up in trims, you move to only the hybrid powertrain. So either you get a basic model in gas, or the more features with the hybrid. No other choices exist. You have to get the car either basic gas or more luxurious hybrid. Surprised they did not mention that major fact. Camry offers an AWD system which was not mentioned either. Nice overview overall as the Chevy Malibu has basically been forgotten by GM.
Hi Sam! Thank you for your observations and your feedback. At 1:59, I briefly mention that the Camry has an optional AWD system, but reading your comments here, I should have probably gone into it a little more. Good feedback, and I will know for next time. Thank you for watching!
@@carlanthony7906 Sorry I missed that. I listened again and yes, you do briefly mention it!
Yeah malibus are trash sedans. I’m glad they aren’t really doing much with em
Even if they're not safer as suvs sedan will be the best design and looking car for me
Thank you for watching our video and our channel!
Sedans are 100% safer than SUVs in nearly every way. Rollovers, collisions, pedestrian interactions, field of view.
Sedans are also safer for other drivers
Thanks for the info Carl Anthony
My pleasure and thank you for watching!
I did my research before choosing which sedan was best and the Toyota Camry topped the choice by far. Many reasons - first being the natural 2.5 liter engine vs 1.5 turbo (which by common sense must over stress the smaller engine), second a real automatic transmission with real gears, third real gauges on the instrument panel, combined with impressive digital on the xse models, which also have four wheel drive, more impressive body design as well. I did however rate the Honda Accord a distant second.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience! The Toyota Camry is one of the best sedans you can buy and we like the XSE models too.
When I hear turbo or cvt, I scratch them off my list.
I refuse to buy another CVT. Just got side swiped today and looking for a new car.
What types of problems have you had with turbos and CVTs? If you see this, please comment here so other viewers can see and learn from your experience. Thank you for watching our video.
@@carlanthony7906 Turbos are expensive to repair and require constant maintenance. CVTs can't be repaired. If they break down , it has to be replaced completely, at a cost of thousands.
@@carlanthony7906 CVT in my 2016 Kia Optima shudders and jerks all the time taking off. Has since day 1. My mother's Honda does the same as did my ex's kia optima and my friend's wife's Kia Optima. I will never own another CVT.
My 2012 Focus Hatchback did the same but I am not sure if it was a CVT.
@@travr6 That makes sense . . . the Focus wasn't a CVT but just a bad transmission design overall. My wife and I had a 2013 Focus with the same issues that only got worse with more miles. The service advisor at the dealership we went to was really good and was able to get it in a few times under an "extra warranty" that he said they had access to, but even he basically said any of the warranty work was only a temporary band-aid.
the thing is that you not include the price
Camry XSE V6
The main reason Honda Accord is like last choice as @Buc_Stops_Here mentions:
"Honda is very odd today as if you get the bottom trims, you get the gas engine. As you go up in trims, you move to only the hybrid powertrain. So either you get a basic model in gas, or the more features with the hybrid. No other choices exist. You have to get the car either basic gas or more luxurious hybrid. Surprised they did not mention that major fact. Camry offers an AWD system which was not mentioned either". // I very much dislike Hybrids and EVs which brings me to why I purchased a 2023 Toyota Camry XSE V6 fully loaded. Other sedans to consider are Lexus ES 350 with a V6, Audi A4, and Chevrolet Camaro. Unfortunately, the Mazda 6 was discontinued and was a decent car. The Hyundai Sonata is so-so and has a history of having some good and bad, Sonata is too inconsistent. The worst auto manufacturer is KIA which means Killed In Action. KIA produces vehicles of poor design, use of inferior quality parts, and lack of safety. If you value your life, stay far away from KIA and as you should never own, drive, or be a passenger in a KIA vehicle.
I would own a Chevy before purchasing a Kia or Hyundai. (No offense to those who own them) my experience with them in the past has been a nightmare! Parts are usually expensive, dealer support is laughable at best. They burn oil like cigars. They are nice at first, but don’t expect anything beyond 100,000 miles or any decent resale value.
I've heard really good things over the years about the Chevy Cruz. I used to be a Cadillac service advisor back in the day, so our dealership worked on one or two from time to time . . . they seemed like good cars for people who had them. Thank you for watching our video.
I'm pretty you have everything you said backwards american cars don't usually last over 100k. I've worked on cars for over 10 years and if it wasn't for American cars I would had a job.
I have a Hyundai Sonata 2012 with 215K miles and still running smoothly. A good maintenance it’s a big factor.
@@garymapes6955I disagree I've had several American cars hit 200k + with no issues. My 2012 ford just turned 250k with nothing more than maintenance
What are you doing to your poor cars? I always hear something about Kias and Hyundais being unreliable only from Americans. My dads 2009 Sportage works like brand new. Only thing that didn't last over 170 000km was AC pump.
How about the Sonata?
I think the new Hyundai Sonata is a really good car ... and we talked about it for this list. When the Sonata was first re-designed in the style it is now, I had the opportunity to drive it (www.automoblog.net/2020-hyundai-sonata-review/). Back then I thought it was fun car to drive and would be a good one to own for anyone looking for a reliable set of wheels. ~ Carl
Thanks for the reply. @@Automoblog
Hm thanks I am looking for something for a first car :)
Thank you for watching! Good luck in your search!
You got 20-30 grand lmao
1982 WagonQueen Family Truckster … classic 😜
In terms of design, the Subaru just can't compete. That design looked good in 2015, not 2023.
Thank you for the feedback and for watching our channel.
Am surprised Volvo S-60 wasn't included.
In hindsight we probably should have, that's an awesome car. Thank you for watching our video and for commenting!
Kia K5 has the best design in my opinion and the warranty is pretty based
Thank you for the feedback and for watching our video!
warranty is there for a reason, these things arent built too well. go with a camry or accord or wait until the next gen camry to see of its definitively better than the accord.
@@yimpyoi9808what would you say is the best car between the Altima, accord, and Camry?
@@S0L12D3 altima hasnt been in that conversation for years, nissan is not what it once was. as for the accord and camry, having owned an accord and driven both, its up to preference. the accord feels more premium with more features and way better ride quality, while the camry is generally cheaper and offers awd and slightly better reliability, though reliability isnt a major concern in either. the accord is larger and more spacious but also gets worse mileage. as for driving experience its pretty even on all fronts, they are pretty much equally as quick (accord 2.0 sport will beat any camry including the v6, but the 2025+ hybrid camry is slightly quicker than the hybrid accord). i will say though, the steering feel on hondas has always been much better than any other carmakers.
@@yimpyoi9808 gotcha. I’m looking at Camrys and accords, I see a lot of people with the new accords!
Kia k5 best looking mid size sedan.
Looking for a new mid size sedan WITHOUT all of the nanny state features like AEB and collision detection. This stuff is beyond dangerous.
Does anyone make a new sedan without this garbage technology?
I don't think so . . . the only saving grace you might have is being able to switch the systems off. Thank you for watching our video and commenting.
@@carlanthony7906 You cannot turn any of it off permanently. You can turn it off each time you get in the car but then you are driving around with a bunch of warning lights on the dash.
I seriously hate all of this dangerous nanny tech.
@@travr6 that makes sense. You know, my phone did this automatic software update last night, and it installed a bunch of apps and games that I will never use. Sometimes, this advanced safety tech you are talking about in cars seems similar. It's adding a lot of stuff that some consumers are turned off by and find it intrusive. Again, thank you for your comments and for watching our channel.
@@carlanthony7906 You should make a video for people who hate this technology.
What is the newest sedan I can buy without this tech? Used or new.
Are there new cars that these featured can be disabled PERMANENTLY? I refuse to buy another new car if it has this dangerous tech in it.
Thank you again Trav for the great perspective! It's important for us to understand what car buyers like yourself are thinking and want in a new vehicle.
Camry!!!
Yes, an excellent car! Thank you for watching our video and for commenting.
Your uber is here
Sounds like all that matters are rear leg room and safety. This is a terrible guide as styling, tech, materials and performance were not even considered. Altima should be 1st, Honda's are great but the new Accord looks terrible in my opinion.
We said in the video that we liked (and still do) the Altima for it's styling, good fuel economy, large trunk, and all-wheel drive. It's a great choice, especially if you are a Nissan fan.
The top most ugly sedan: Honda accord
The most pretty sedans: every Toyota ever made
Toyotas are ugly asf lmao
Fake information you put nissan and kia but no mazda.... hhmmmm....
Mazda doesn't make a mid-size car anymore.
Accord has turned into large boring car , underpowered with no character …. Almost like Avalon 🥱🥱🥱
2.0 is nice
@@marcustharonjim814it doesn’t exist no more 😢
Reliability beats everything you said also Avalons are reliable go get a cute Kia an let’s see how many issues you have 😂😂😂
@@chadxlr3978I got a 2.0 in my 23’ Honda though it’s a hybrid but they exist
