If you had to choose between a Camry and an Accord

Question: Has anyone drove a recent model Accord on roads which are bumpy and/or have potholes? How is the ride in such conditions?

They are noisy. My bestfriend has one

I can comment on the 8th gen ride. I learned to slow to a crawl for potholes quickly. You definitely feel it. It also doesn't help that it has pretty low clearance. Not a huge deal if you don't go off road.

One of my best friends has a 2010 Accord and when he bought his most recent Ducati I drove him up to Irvine and Los Angeles a couple times to look at bikes in my car and he commented on how well it drove and how comfortable and quiet it is. He was also very impressed with how fuel efficient it is.

New Accord vs old Accord. Miles of differences. The old one was loud.

I have USAA insurance and I used their car buying service.

Same here. Only thing I have to haggle on is what they'll give me for the trade, which is fine.

I kind of have the same question as the OP. I see a few people saying they'd prefer the Mazda 6, but why? I have an 04 v6 Mazda 6 and would love to get a new Mazda 6 if it had a %*&^ing v6! But as it is now, it's just looks so weak on paper when you compare it to a Camry, Altima, or Accord. I'm currently leaning Accord, but waiting to see what the new Camry will be like.

The 9th Gen Accord is very nice. Quite a bit of tech comes standard too. My wife has a 2012 Sedan (8th gen) and I love driving that car. You really can't go wrong with an Accord, it's a solid good car. I am not a fan of the Camry as I find the steering too loose compared to the Accord.

Yes I drove the 2014 Camry and felt the same about steering. Didn't like that.

How does your Accord ride on bumpy and potholes roads?
