The 08 Camry 4 cylinder performs well but it does not seem to be a match for the Accord, or even for other cars that we test drove in this price and size range, notably the Nissan Altima and Hyundai Sonata.
Front seat comfort is another subjective measurement. Our experience driving our 06 and 08 Accords has been that we feel little discomfort or back pain during long trips. We did have more such problems with our 05 and 06 rentals, although not severe.
In a one hour test drive it is hared to tell much for sure. The Accord did present a more secure ability to stop on wet pavement. It rained on our test drive day and we felt a more secure braking ability in the Accord than in the Camry.
