Mazda6 2.3L or Camry 2.4V?

[kpy555]

Hi Guys!

Just want to get your opinions for a family mid-size sedan. Which will be your pick from the two? Just starting a new family!

Thanks!

Go for the Mazda6, the thing is, super pogi. (i love).

Performance, practicality and economy.

Thanks for your opinion!

OK din ang accord pero not really my type!

BlueBimmer, haha! Out muna mga SUVs, sedan muna! Pero ok nga din ang Outlander. Worth considering, especially the GLS Sport.

Well, the Mazda 6 is really aging fast and it would be replaced either next year or in 2009.

I would go for the Camry 2.4G 5A/T and save Php 215K over the 2.4V. Visually they (G and V) don't have any difference except for the leather seats inside, cruise control, immobilizer, power rear sunshade, power rear seats, etc.... The Camry definitely more comfortable bec. it is has more space for the rear passengers (where most buyers of this vehicle will be seating in the first place).

Ikaw ba yung may Grand Vitara, Fortuner, and Sta Fe all bought from 2006 and this year? Wow, you are sooooo lucky!

Number001: Yup but I'm not lucky! Pinaghirapan din namin ang mga yan.

Actually GV and SF lang dapat meron namin ngayon, but a relative of mine, who originally bought the Fortuner, had some financial difficulty and asked us if we can get the vehicle instead of it being repossesed. Ayaw talaga namin nung una, pero nakiusap siya and we gave in since the deal was just to continue the monthly amortization and that's it. December 2005 din kasi namin nabenta yung old cars (2 of them, isa 14 years old na) kaya nagkataon lang na nagkasabay-sabay kumuha ng new vehicles. Happened just last year after more than 10 years of no refleeting!

Anyway, we'll be selling the Grand Vitara and another vehicle sometime soon, maybe middle of next year, and replace them with a new sedan perhaps. Kaya eto, getting opinions!

Let's put it this way...

If you have a feeling you're related to Michael Schummacher then go for the Mazda 6

If you want to make your friends drool like a dog in envy,go for the Camry

The New Camry sucks if you get the 2.4 variants (it is only a killer if you go for the 3.5 V6 variant). So if you're getting a New Camry, it's either you go for the top-of-the-line 3.5 Q variant or not buy it at all.

The MZ6 2.3L would already be a better choice over the Camry 2.4

Hands down, the Camry 2.4V has great appeal. It has the looks good enough to be an Audi A6.

I ordered the new gen camry 2.4 as a company car, but Toyota never got to supplying me a unit even after 1 and half months. So, I just opted to get a black 2.3L V6 Nissan Teana (pics below). The Teana looks old, but the suspension and the exhaust note of the V6 makes the 2.4 camry sound and ride like a Corolla.

The Camry's ride is too stiff when I compared it with the Teana. Anyway, it's just a company car. If it's my own money, I'd buy the Camry for the looks, reliability, and resale value.

Mazda 2.3L? Too me, it looks like a Mazda 3 that was stretched a bit. Reading Car and Driver reviews, they find Mazda 6's suspension as too stiff. Plus the fact that it only nets out 160+hp, and not the 230hp U.S. Mazda speed Version - yun ang guapo, not the local version we have. Mazda Speed has bigger and agressive sized rims, plus turbo scoop on the hood and huge spoilers.

Sayang, when you're spending this much (P1.3M), the very least you expect is a soft ride and strong engine diba?

But if you want power at close to the same price, consider the following six-cylinder options:
- 2007 Hyundai Sonata 3.3L V6 * 230hp (1.4M PHP)
- 2007 Nissan Cefiro 300EX 3.0L V6 * 220hp (1.5M PHP) - they're still selling it with all options included. This has the award winning VQ engine from Infiniti.

The Sonata and the Cefiro will definitely outperform the Camry 2.4V (165hp) and the Mazda 6 (167hp). I've seen the Sonata in the skyway, and it's stupid fast.

Anyway, happy shopping. Cheers!

so you got the 230JM? hindi ba thats like 1.85m++ for that price mag 3.5L camry na ako and it'll kick the teana's ass anytime!

Siguro, ang maganda parin sa VQ engine yung engine note niya (even if it's the old VQ NEO engine) that soothes some buyers.

Although I think I can see why he chose the Teana 230JM over a Camry (kahit na 3.5).........masyado mahaba yung waiting list ng Toyota.

And as he said, he just bought it as a company car so ride comfort will be at the top of the agenda (which the Camry 2.4 seems to lack).

Anyways, congrats sir zxd168pzz for the purchase of your car........I mean company car

[zxd168pzz]

Our company got the JK model for 200k discount so the total cost was about P1.5M. I couldn't get a Camry due to the long waiting list. So might as well try the Teana then switch over to a newer model of the Camry in 3 years I hope.

[pmm747]

how long is the camry's waiting list this time? would it be easier to get a 3.5 variant or a 2.4? does color preference make a difference?
