They are both great car makers, but if you had your choice which would you vote for? Honda or Toyota?

Please cast your vote and explain the reason behind your preference, si vous plait.....

I've had both. I like both. They're different, but I think equal.

No preference here - but it gives me the opportunity to post this old chestnut.

What's red, hard and throbs between your legs?

A Honda 50.

Gee, then I guess a lot of people would prefer Hondas, Imur. Razz

Interesting, though. So far, most people seem to think they are about equal. I'm having a difficult time trying to decide which one I think is best.

I voted for Toyota but that is because I currently own one and have had excellent luck with it.

I have owned a Honda before, but I bought it second hand and had alot of problems. Those problems were more than likely due to lack of care on the previous owner's part

I've owned them both. I had an early Honda Civic, back in the seventies; sold it three years later for the same money I paid for it. I liked it just fine, except that it tended to spin out in the rain, which may or may not be related to those particular tires or their pressure. I've never heard of that with Hondas since, and wouldn't at all have qualms about a new one.

Bought a new Toyota Celica and loved it dearly, kept it thirteen years. Few problems, easily fixable.

I'l choose Toyota as a very slight preference based on that, and for a bias towards the looks of my old Celica - I'm not familiar with the looks of new Hondas or Toyotas enough to have an informed opinion on that - and looks would be secondary if there was a strong difference in car performance, etc.

We have had a Toyota Camry, a Cressida, and four Honda Accords. The Toyota is a great car. One of the advantages over the Honda is that it is quieter.

My husband and I each have an Accord. I would never want anything better. The reason that we left Toyota was that the service department was very sleazy. They never found much wrong with the car (we kept the Toyotas for a number of years), until the warranty went off. Then, boom, they found all sorts of things wrong.

I would give the mod to Honda because of its long and vital history plus the amazing versatility of the Honda motor company, yet I think to some degree Honda may be resting on its laurels and I suspect that the modern Toyota has a slightly better drive-train on average.

I'm a Toyota girl.

Good little car, reliable, good on gas, and from what I've seen, the Toyota is cheapter than the Honda.

I like its looks better too.

Toyota, I find the fit and finish as well as body work/sheet metal to be far superior on the toyota. The drive train/engineering seem to me comparable.
