Accord 3.0/Camry 3.0/Cefiro 3.0 or Mazda6?

[JAYarc]

cefiro3.0 flies up for subP1.4M, camry3.0 & accord3.0 for subP1.8M.. may 316 din for under 1.8M but weak engine and firm ride..

[pajerokid]

Camry 3.0 for me. Though I like the 6's looks, If im to be an exec, I'd like to look like one. Cefiro is aging na kasi. Accord doesnt looks so execky but looks okay na rin.

[mazdamazda]

if your dad is going to shoulder a part of the acquisition expense, then go with the cheapest mid-size sedan here... the Mazda6. it retails for only P1.1M. although this is more of a driver oriented car.

although, he would have to wait for a bit more if he wants V6 power. am sure that the Mazda will offer one very soon as all the other competitors are already doing that.

my second choice would be the Accord. looks very neat and subtle. although the rear is just too ugly for me. another driver oriented car.

my third choice would be the Cefiro. THIS is the choice IMO if you really want to feel like an executive. this is a passenger oriented car with a plush ride and some nifty gizmos.

my last is the Camry. the rear lamps is just ugly IMO. would have preferred the US version. the trim level is also disappointing despite its price.

Accord or Camry, reliable and extensive dealer network.

Remember the saying, you get what you pay for, it's still holds true for most things.

yeah, looks like mazda is here to stay. it's really unfortunate that people have doubts since this would affect the resale value of mazdas a bit unfairly

pajerokid,

hmmm kala ko muntik ka na maging accordkid dati hehehe

[mazdamazda]

btw, the mazda6 is the holder of more than 70 car awards from different car critics / magazines / websites. some of the awards are:

2004 China Car of the Year
2004 What Car? Best Estate
2002 European Car of the Year
RJC Car of the Year
Fleet News Best Upper Medium Car
Scottish Car of the Year 2002
Auto Express 2004 Used Family Car of the Year
Northern Irish Car of the Year 2003
Auto Express Driver Power, 'Overall winner'
Auto Express, 'Auto1 Champion'
Money Magazine, Best Mid-Sized Sedan
Car & Driver's, 10 Best Cars

Just trying searching in google for Mazda6+Awards. You'll be overwhelmed with the articles in there. Try doing it with the other choices and you'll get not one article. Hehe.

Well, I hope that this would kill the "prejudgement" of many Filipino buyers who are accustomed to their Hondas and Toyotas.

If your dad will drive, go for the MAZDA 6. He'll definitely enjoy driving this baby. If the V6 version comes in, I myself will be tempted to buy for my family.

If your dad has a chauffer, go for the Camry.

Thanks mga duds.... finally he got his Camry 3.0V6........ From Corona Excior to Camry....Loyal Toyota fan ang erpat ko!Ayaw daw nyang mag-gamble sa ibang brand! His Rona never let him down for the past 9 years kaya ganun na lang ang paghanga nya sa Toyota brand. I respect him naman at happy na rin dahil may Corona Excior na ako!

Thanks for the output nyo mga sir....

[mbt]

tibay nga talaga yung rona...

well, congrats on the new ride for you and your dad

[glntVR]

congrats sa new ride mo. post ka naman mini review naman ng new camry niyo!

[philander]

Good choice.

Since he is a Toyota user, it is safer to get another Toyota.

If he choose another brand, two things only: he'll be impresed or worst he'll be sickened for having that automobile and regretful until he finally get rid of that car.

mukhang official na nga release ng Accord 3.0 sa pinas. so kmusta ang Camry 3.0? can u post actual gas mileage too.

thanks, i bet its a sweet (comfortable) ride in our poorly paved roads!

[eyesman]

IMO lang po, all are great vehicles, the accord/camry/cefiro, i like to be seen seated at the rear with a driver hehe, while the mazda 6, the sportiest looking among the 3 with strong teutonian lines, i wanna be seen driving it. Well, the accord comes close too.

[Cardo818]

well, i accompanied my dad to look at both v6 camry and accord. magreretire na kase sya and he wants to have a nice car.

funny thing he likes the camry more than the accord. hehehe. he does'nt like the aero bulky styling of the accord and he's not enticed by the extra HP of the VTEC. what is it with old men? hehehe

pero kung ako, yun accord pipiliin ko

[kimpOy]

cardo, talagang ganyan ang mga nagkaka edad na.

they rather cruise than speed up.
dad ko nga nakuntento sa diesel automatic.

saka siyempre iba ang dating ng Camry.
