usually cuz they market to different crowds. hondas are definitely more sport oriented, whereas toyota aims for a more comfort/refinement kind of crowd. it even follows their flagship brands, lexus and acura. acuras are sporty as hell (tsx, TL), while lexus' are sooo damn comfy. from my personal experience, we all start off as honda owners (teenage ricers), and slowly develop into toyota owners (camry, anyone??). the wifey and i went from owning a civic and legend, to a sienna and yaris! there was absolutely nothing wrong with our hondas/acuras. they were actually really great cars! but as we got older, refinement is something that begins to outweigh 0-60 times and lateral g stats. IMO, you really cant go wrong with either honda or toyota. it just depends on what you're looking for.

ps:chose the sienna since its as quiet as a lexus and has automatic everything, despite the fact the odyssey drove like a sporty car instead of a minivan. odyssey was loud as hell at highway speeds. chose the yaris over the fit since the fit does look like a mini-minivan, and we already have a minivan. plus, on fitfreak forums, people were unanimous that the automatic fits were getting terrible mileage (27ish), and the wifey needs an auto. currently, she's averaging 37mpg!

Agreed......though I only owned my Honda Civic for just over a year and I fried it ~ Now I'm 18......I just want a comfortable, reliable and good to drive car.....Camry.....I love but no money ~ I love the Yaris too......ok.....so I'm 18 and should be still "ricing" my car.....but not after what happened to my Civic.....learnt my lesson and now on the safe/comfy side ~

Ha lol .. that was a good one! I started off with a 1991 Prizm (Toyota Corolla) then moved on to Nissan (other car before that was not my choice).

But on a serious note, I know what u mean, most people start off with Hondas.

I have no problem with them, its that Ithey have a bad rep out here and never wanted to get associated with.
