The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are leaders among mid-size sedans thanks to their perceived reliability and dependability.
The Camry’s more conservative and offers a hybrid version that’s very fuel efficient.
The Accord has an upscale interior with stretch-out space and good looks—and a hybrid edition.
The Altima offers all-wheel drive—the Legacy makes it standard—but its interior is plainer and it’s likely to be less expensive than its rivals.
The Sonata is a more stylish sedan, and its hybrid offers sky-high fuel economy.
The Malibu is hanging on for Chevrolet, its best look may be its low price in base trims.
