2008 Mazda 6 vs. 2007 Toyota Camry

**bynnos** · March 8th, 2008 04:06 PM

I was at Mazda Greenhills today and checked out the new Mazda 6. It's a great looking car...very sporty as well. I personally liked the Lilac Silver although the Crystal White was just as stunning.

Although it had some great features, I found it a bit small and cramped compared to the new Camry. Parang medyo mahal din for P1.499M.

I must admit though that the G variant of the Camry (P1.431M) does not have the features of the Mazda 6. Leather seats, cruise control, 8-way power seats, etc. are more comparable to the V variant (P1.646M)

I've not had the chance to test drive both vehicles and I'm curious as to how these two cars compare against each other...in features, performance, looks, price, etc. from the perspective of other members.

Please chime in guys. Your inputs will be useful should I decide to purchase a mid-size sedan.

Cheers.

My vote goes for the Mazda 6 in this case. Wala lang I guess I like its sporty look more than the Camry's elite look... I would also throw in the Honda Accord in this battle also a very very promising car although mag mmumuka kang tatay if you drive one

I'd go for the Mazda 6...
Looks sharper than the Camry and at P1.499M its priced just right considering its a CBU from Japan model unlike the Thailand made Camry.

If a regular guy...clueless about car prices...saw these two cars on the street, which do you think they'd say is more expensive?

Camry looks more elegant. Ako kasi, i'll buy these cars for its elegance and not sportiness. Mas gusto ko compact sedan for sportiness. But its just me.

Camry gets my vote.

I got to check out the new Mazda 6 in the showroom today. Looks wise, maganda naman sya, sporty in an executive-looking way. Interior trim quality seems very high as well! My only complaint was I wish they included HID and parking sensors as standard. Nevermind if price goes up a little bit.

Between this and the Camry, I may choose the Mazda 6 despite the Camry being more established. But I would still wait for the Accord as I heard it will be launched here by next week.

I think the fact that its a nicely equipped original CBU from Japan mid-size sedan for only P1.499M, makes it a good alternative to the common Camry.
A similarly equipped Thailand made Camry 2.4V costs P1.646M.

About its styling.... sporty but elegant.

What I like about it, the new Mazda 6 looks great even without the excess chrome trim and fake wood trim found in its Taiwan/China/Thailand made competitors.

Camry 2.4V P1.646M
