The Honda Accord most often competes with the Toyota Camry for buyers’ interests and money.
We like the Accord’s interior and advanced powertrains, which seem to be a half-step ahead of the Camry’s for this generation.
The Nissan Altima was redesigned for 2019, but aside from an advanced, optional 2.0-liter turbo-4 and available all-wheel drive in the Nissan, Honda’s sedan easily outpaces its rival.
The Chevy Malibu is nearly as comfortable inside as the Accord, and the Chevy’s 1.5-liter turbo-4 is nearly as frugal.
The Sonata is similarly value-priced but lacks some personality.
The Subaru Legacy is the de facto pick for all-wheel-drive traction, but the mid-size sedan is starting to show its age.
