my parents bought an 87 camry I-4 5spd in 1987.
That car gave me us no problems ( aside from normal maintenace ) until about 210k miles. The car even had the original clutch and I used to beat the crap out of it.

The car finally died on me at 220k miles.
My accord gave me a little problem at 20k miles ( 02 accord ) took it to honda and they couldnt find the problem. Problem went away on its own.

From personal experience the camry seemed much more reliable.
