Nice report, Tommy, but a few Brits might disagree with you that green is the slowest color.
British Racing Green + tan leather interior will make me fantasize about a car and it really doesn't matter how terrible the car is.
Last I checked green is the fastest because green means "GO" and red means "STOP", ;-)
Hear here.....
Even my white pearly 6 is faster than my aging red camry!
We all know the TRUE green is swedish racing green!
Mazda's interior is underrated
The Mazda knob keeps the screen fingerprint free and doesn’t require a reach when driving, it’s practical and works!
I think both are the best
And touchscreen capabilities have been locked out completely on Mazda's latest generation infotainment (found in 3 and CX-30). At next refresh, CX-5 and 6 will be next to get that. Get used to the wheel.....;)
Joe Buchanan perfect! I really only ever use the touch function when typing an address but I realized I can say an address to the voice system and it finds it way easier!
I have 2 new Mazdas and my previous ones with knob never gave me a problem nor a desire to touch the screen
Let's Zoom Zoom
Arman 80 agreed this is my first Mazda coming from an Acura and the screen would be dirty after 2 drives. I’m liking the knob much more
Mazda has some of the nicest paint jobs, color, and interiors.
Agree. Mazda’s Zeal Red and Soul Red are far superior to Toyota’s bland ubiquitous Barcelona Red, the pinkish not quite red, not quite burgundy color. I know this Camry TRD is a different red but I cannot forgive Toyota for splashing Barcelona red on as many vehicles as they do. Models that would benefit from either a sport Absolute Red or some black cherry more than that aging tone.
Go Mazda!!!
They have the nicest colours, yes.. Quality of paint, absolutely not. Google Soul Red Crystal Failures. And I'm a Mazda fan, but there crappy paint work itself is a shambles
My Mazda3’s Soul Red is beautiful. However it is so delicate that it chips when when using harsh language near it.
Marc Stolk Pretty much. It’s delicate/thin and prone to easily chipping.
I had the spare change to pay a detailer to apply Xpel Ultimate across my entire car, but that $4,000 cost shouldn’t be something people have to do just to protect their paint. (I will admit the Soul Red color is astonishingly stunning regardless.)
I’ve had my Mazda since 2015 and let me tell you that the control knob is the best thing a car maker can integrate into their cars. It becomes sort of an extension to your arm and you barely have to take your eyes from the road to use it. Definitely way safer than to have to reach out and touch a screen.
That Mazda design is so good it makes the Camry look obsolete
Camry TRD is like women wearing Supreme shirts and off-white jackets, while Mazda6 is like women wearing classy red dresses at parties.
agree
disagree
Classy red dress with rust all over her
@@Ss31994 Oh stop it, this isn't a Tacoma review.
Yes...its true ...
Did anybody realize how LONG the Camry took to turn on or is it just me...
That can happen if it’s been started and shut off several times within a few minutes
@@jacobyo99 good to know
I was half expecting someone to add gas to the carburetor.
Any simple fool can operate the Mazda infotainment system. Bad look, bud.
Timothy Schroeder The kid can’t even backup a Tesla Model 3 into a garage without hitting it, so of course he cannot operate a simple Infotainment control knob.
Anyone can use it.
it is simple but he was correct when he said tuning the radio with the dial is annoying. if you wanna go from 90 ish to 100+ you literally have to turn the dial A LOT.
@@Rob-te5ct OR just hit the voice command button and say "tune to FM100.9" and move on..
You dont even have to think with our Mazda infotainment controls.
Especially having the volume knob at the palm of your hand. I think it’s genius
Touchscreens in cars are dangerous, Mazda's design choice is the correct one
Is beg to differ. The touch pads require you to take your eyes off of road to look at the screens, while you can kind of use touchscreens with muscle memory.
Mazda's set up uses a joystick and physical buttons, not a touchpad
@@JokerG16 both are bad, touch screen worse. Muscle memory won't work with touchscreen unless you spent hours and hours sitting in the same place prodding it.
Cars are dangerous.
Plus I don't want smudges on my display screen.
I always thought that this Camry was a good looking vehicle until it got put beside a Mazda 6...
Mr. Moose The Mazda 6 is simply a beautiful car!
This.
Almost stopped watching the vid when he announced that the Camry looked better. What?! That's one ugly ass front on the Camry. Reminds me of that alien in the movie "Predator." Glad I stuck around to see his "fun" car get smashed TWICE in the drag race. I actually cheered out loud lol. Zoom Zoom. This guy was so biased against the Mazda. He couldn't even bring himself to say that the interior of the Mazda was the best. Chose not to declare a winner at all. Lame.
still looks better. Are y’all blind?
The Camry looks way better wtf? The Mazda looks like it could come out of 2005
Mazda hands-down! As the owner of a Mazda I can assure you that you get accustom to the rotary knob and never use the touchscreen. It’s really a pretty good system.
I agree, I most of the time even forget that our CX-9 have a touchscreen when in Park.
I have a 2014 Mazda 3 and I use the knob even while in park, I never use the touchscreen lol
totally agree
But the display screen sticking up past the dash👎
@@gregpavitt309 I'm a fan of that position. It's level with the road and less distracting in my opinion. But, I get it.
Next gen mazda 3 with a turbo is gonna kick everyone's ass in the entry-sedan segment, if not, wait till the RWD, straight-6 mazda 6.
Nope the next gen mazda 6 will have a straight 6 and rwd
😂
I’m amused that you think that’s actually going to happen
@@jacobyo99 Man we gotta dream. Toyota did bring back their sporty supra.
@@chinesesogood it's a BMW
Red is definitely the fastest color for police.
Mazdas infotainment is the easiest infotainment ive ever used wtf??
The Mazda 6 looks like it will age much better than the Camry. It has sort of that timeless look that in 5-7 yrs still will look like a beauty.
everyone should get a red car for more power.
Also for more you have to pay for insurance. Lol
optimus prime yeah but it’s worth the Xtra powa
Victor Martinez yeah forgot to point that out.
Bluee for speed
Tommy, you're wrong about the Mazda center knob. It's actually great when you get used to it. Don't forget, us normal folk end up driving these as our daily drivers, not just as test cars. Mazda old infotainment screen doesn't look good but it's super easy to use thanks to that knob. Also, who the heck still listens to normal radio anymore?
Well, me😂
The Camry looks like it’s trying too hard to look cool.
People always complained about how the Camry looked boring Toyota changed that so I wouldn’t complain to much
Ha, it's like the girl in school who's a 6 but thinks if she dresses like a hooker and wears a bunch of make-up she'll suddenly become a 10.
@@connordurham8216 Bingo. I had an 07 v6 SE Camry, black on black - it looked about as aggressive as a Camry could be expected to look and still blended into everything. Now there's a bold, in your face Camry - with a nice chunk of power. My only wish - and I'd buy one if they did - is AWD
@@smeggy22 The new camry has an AWD option now, it wasnt available when i got mine last year :(
Connor Durham can’t please everyone lol
my 2016 Mazda 6 (without the turbo) is amazing, wouldn't trade it for any car, great gas mileage, peppy, and the best looking car on the road.
I agree
Yup.. I got a 2011 and love it.. Best car I ever owned
I have a 2014 with 110,000 miles on it. Hasn't needed a single repair. Even the brake rotors are original. Ive owned every Japanese brand and like my mazda the best
Same here. Love my ZZ. Still turning heads- smile.
@@Corkfish1 Wow! That's impressive. Hope my 2016 GT continues to age as well as yours.
This guy is so biased lol. The infotainment system isn't hard to use at all in the Mazda when driving. Took me a few days and it's easy I prefer it too when driving it's much quicker to navigate the menus with it then using a touchscreen once you get used to it. Also that Toyota looks way too ricey it's trying way too hard to be sporty. The Mazda 6 is beautiful also it come with black seats. Probably picked the white seat option just to hate on it more
The Mazda basically won all categories in this comparison but he’d still buy the Camry 🤷🏻♂️
Gotta agree with you on the infotainment. It might not be the best in the business but I’ve had a 2020 Camry rental car and I prefer my Mazda’s. The Camry was laggy and not laid out well. I was literally used to it by the time I got home from the dealer.
Mazda has bad resale Bad motors.
No wonder they sell so skow. Definitely a womens car. In fact, they are both women’s cars
@@davevolz6138 lol nope. The 2.5l engine is a solid one. Also Mazda's have good resale I have a 2017 cx5 gt I got for $40kcdn and 3 years into the loan I have around 20k left to pay and on the used market similar examples to mine are selling for $25k. I can easy pay off my loan or make a little off of it.
Dave Volz not after they got rid of Ford. They’re engines now are super solid. And they hardly depreciate. I had trouble even finding one online. The turbo ones can be iffy but that’s the deal with any manufacturer across the board. Turbocharged engines just aren’t as reliable.
5:27 it crank so long i tought it was broken
Apparently that's a Toyota thing. My aunt had a v6 taco and it would do the same and they took it back and got told that's how it works. It cranks like its 15° outside even when its 95° and they live in texas so it's never too cold.
Silverio Arroyo hmm. That’s strange because my 2010 Lexus RX starts right up, it doesn’t have that slow start up
I thought that was weird, I work at a Toyota dealer and none of the v6 camrys take that long
"Reliability"
I bet it still starts everytime regardless.
This camry is lucky mazda dont make mazdaspeed 6s anymore..
Was thinking the same
He should compare the Mazdaspeed 6 and the Corolla t sport or a two liter or 1.8 Toyota avensis
And Mazda is lucky Toyota invests heavily on them so they don’t go bankrupt
@@cargueone1971 Toyota only holds 5% stake in Mazda, stop making it seem as if they took over the entire company.
@@neilmurphy845 This is an American Channel, Corolla T Sport and Avensis were not sold in North America.
Bro you mentioned the lack of rear usb ports to charge your phone on the camry but did not mentioned if you fold down the rear arm rest on the MAZDA6 you FIND 2 FAST CHARGING USB PORTS AND REAR HEATED SEATS...were you afraid to mention that since the CAMRY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE USB PORTS?? Hope not
Bahaha 😂
Was biased towards toyota so didn't want to show off highlights of mazda
My 2019 Mazda 6 Reserve is a beast. No body expect the response y get from it when
I hit the gas. Looks so neat and the driving confort, luxury and technology surpasses all the competitors on its class. Even those with V6 and so called sport performance packages. Is the perfect sleeper!
Lol they think is some slow sedan
I had a 2016 Mazda 3 and I loved using the rotary dial even when I was sitting still. I have a 2018 Elantra Sport now and I can't stand using the touchscreen. All to their own but I actually think the dial is the better way to go.
The Mazda won before they even started. It offers a black headliner (on the higher trims).
madza still dont sell alot
Jankuba Kromah, who cares?
Mazda= disposable junk. Thats why you never see old ones driving around
Dave Volz 🤦🏿♂️
Old mazdas were part ford that's why, 2012 and up is different story
Wow, I actually want a Mazda now.
I still don't.
Than Save up for one
Switched over the from a Red Camry to a Pearl white Mazda 6 end of story
That V6 instantly sounds so much better
Soumds like my 2013 Camry se V6 with Flowmaster exhaust
@@jmaugans73 Gross
It almost didn’t crank !
V6 that is very slow. Skyactiv Mazda's engine is better
Arman Maaba I’m sure anyone would pick a v6 over any 4turbo and pick a v8 over any v6 twin turbo. I’m SURE. and it’s the camrys trans that’s the issue. The engine is 20 times better than Mazda.
If you spend a few days with Mazda infotainment system it becomes intuitive
The Mazda looks nicer inside and out.
Almost on par with entry level Audi or BMW
Guy actually complained that the Mazda used high quality materials on the interior, he actually complained!
Its reasonable why would you touch the screen while driving mazdaz's convern is the safety while driving.
I have a 2018 Mazda 6 GT reserve and this car been treating me well for two years so far. It’s an elegant design meant for more mature crowd. Knobs works great for navigating through the head unit. After a month you get used to it you can do everything while your eye still on the road not having to worry about touching the screen. Of course a UA-cam review guy will not understand the knob when they don’t have the time to learn it which is not their fault.
Also I have the white interior and it’s all looking the same color. As long as you keep it clean like any other car and take care of the leather which I clean every 3-4months it will look clean. If you abuse it it will look like crap like any other material. Leather seems really solid,
Camry looks like a teenager’s dream to me. When I test drove the accord 2.0T , Mazda , or Camry at 2018 it was a no brainer. The TQ the Mazda offered just made it so easy to drive on a regular basis road. Not only straight flat road.
Accord drove just as well too so for me it came down to accord or Mazda in performance view.
In the end Mazda 6 looked much better than the accord (rear of accord looks hideous to me) so I chose this car and never been happier.
That Camry looks so plastic.
I've test driven both the new Camry V6 (non TRD) and Mazda 6 2.5T - Both are sleepers and haul ass and cruise very smoothly. Can't go wrong with either
My wife owns a Mazda CX-5 GT and it’s a great vehicle
This is probably the 30th video i’ve seen on this channel where the Toyota gets its ass kicked in every category and yet they still choose it 🙄
Facts, pretty bias lately
Sponsorship????...
In this very short track horsepower matter less, so the mazda win because it has higher torque, but in quarter miles race the camry win it did 14.3 seconds while the mazda did 14.9 seconds
noName yet true very small difference though and the Mazda would pass it still since it’s top speed is 150 vs the Camry at 135
@@Brandonjamlarue Not true, stock both the camry and the mazda are about 135mph
Might want to mention that the Mazda is rated at 227hp when using 87 octane fuel. Power gets bumped up to 250hp when using 91/93 octane fuel. Torque stays the same irregardless what fuel is used.
Wish the TRD came with extra performance that matches with the sporty style. Even around 20 to 30 more horsepower over a regular v6 Camry could change the whole car.
This. I don’t understand why anyone would want this car from a performance standpoint.
What would change it is AWD.
Dima K I agree. AWD and maybe 50ish extra HP and it would be going to 60 in less than 5 seconds
@@damariuseaton6678 Definitely not less than 5s, but a stable 6s run would be achievable.
Dima K That's the whole thing. Stability and constancy. With AWD all you have to do it mash the throttle and you're going to get more consistent results
Camry is literally for the kids who just buy aftermarket parts and put it on but now it’s stock..the Mazda 6 has heated seats in rear and 2 usb too
Yea the Mazda has more features and looks better 🤷♂️
Your just a loser
How kids can drive Camry if Camry is for kids you dumbass
@@hi-he2ch What lol
dude the trd is based off the se not the xse , try comparing it the highest trim xse
@@hi-he2ch can we have that in english ?
9:04 totally disagree, I prefer the way the wheel operates and it is far superior over a touch screen.
Please never take it away Mazda
We have a CX-5 and an Audi Q5 - both have wheels for control - I much prefer the wheel!
@@smeggy22 We have a Mazda 6 and I also prefer the wheel. However I do understand you might have to get used to it.
The kid can’t even backup a car without damaging it, how do you expect him to learn how to use the control knob?
Dude chooses the slower, less confortable, worst looking car 😐 I own 19 m3
I guess it was a sponsored video lol
More reliable? Easily tunable? In this very short track horsepower matter less, so the mazda win because it has higher torque, but in quarter miles race the camry win it did 14.3 seconds while the mazda did 14.9 seconds
Me too!
@@nonameyet2205 idk about being more easily tuned, but the Mazda 6 is easily just as reliable as the camry. Before I bought my Mazda I did a shit ton of research into reliability, recalls, and both common and uncommon problems with Mazda's, Toyota's, Subaru's and a few others i was looking at. At least with the Mazda 6, the reliability is exactly the same.
I have that Mazda screen and love the dials. My hands just know where to go and how to change. I have touch screens in my two Toyota’s and I hate trying to touch them all the time.
Whenever I see "TRD" I just can't suppress my mind's desire to insert a certain vowel.
E 🤣
'tard isn't PC... lol
TRID?
Tard?
Terd lol?
I don't remember often hearing journalists complain about the scroll wheel in BMW Audi Mercedes ...who all used this type of system for very long time from early 2000 to 2019.🤔🤔...i prefer a scroll wheel very easy to use .
Really? When BMW first introduced iDrive and Mercedes debuted COMAND, they were almost universally panned.
The Spoiler on the camry is just to obnoxious more like a ricer than trd.
Agreed. I don't care if the engineers say it's functional. I wana rip it off and just put a lip spoiler.
They should have gone with the lip spoiler like the Avalon TRD
I thought I was The only one. LOL... and the diffuser!!! Please don't
Isn't that what it is? It's supposed to be rice on this model camry. (Race Insipired Cosmetic Enhancement).
It seems like Toyota borrowed the designer of the Civic Type R for the Camry
Definitely boy ricer
You can't even afford one. Lmao
Next drag race please:
Acura rdx vs cx5 turbo.🙏🙏🙏
Babs pleaseeee
Norm T just stfu we all know you’re a fricking Buick and GM shill and you probably are working at a Buick dealership and just want to sell another car to a 70 year-old. We all know GM’s build quality is garbage, and apparently all you look at is CR for your “info”. The RDX is way better equipped, more luxurious, and more reliable, and looks way better
And the RDX is actually .2 seconds faster 0-60 at 6.4 seconds compared to the Envision’s 6.6 seconds and the RDX comes with more standard power, a larger screen (10.25”), a better sound system, a much more luxurious interior with real leather and aluminum trim
Emperor Gad agree with you... RDX pound by pound much better, most luxurious, powerful, more tech, fastest...
@@normt5463 dude, what's up with you and Buick? What happened to the LeSabre?
I'm stuck with a Camry while my Mazda 3 is in the shop... I want my Mazda back! the center knob is great, It is actually something I miss.
I'm sorry but after getting used to the knob interface in a Mazda, the idea of reaching for the touch screen is too much effort, also slightly more distracting. So effortless to use, just as Mazda intended. Also, pretty funny seeing a car(Camry TRD) with all that phony racer styling completely loose to a car that isn't exactly known for being fast..
Tommy, I get you don’t like the white in the 6, so get the black. It is called giving people a choice. The infotainment system is perfectly usable and the controller knob is great. You like the childish design of the Camry but most people buying these cars want elegance and sophistication.
To each his own, but most people cross-shopping Camrys, Mazda6s, and Accords aren't looking for elegance and sophistication. If its there on some level, as in the case of the Mazda 6, its almost a bonus, but most people shopping this segment are looking for a reliable grocery getter that's comfortable and has decent power.
The infotainment system in the mazda is so easy to use wth
Tommy complaining about the 6s interior color when he also complained on the CX-5s lack of color
I wanna see the Mazda6 vs the Accord sport 2T, I would imagine they are close.
Agreed
@@omarbryant7930 Nah CVT trans will implode
@@locklearfamily6532 What CVT, what are you talking about? Nor Mazda or Accord 2.0T have CVT.
@@locklearfamily6532 the 2.0t accord uses a 10 speed, and Mazda litterally makes no cvt at all, only traditional autos or manuals.
The honda whoops the mazda pretty good. The honda is actually faster then the camry as well. Forrest reviews did a video where he raced all three and the 2.0 accord was the quicker
I've owned most Toyota , but I rather take an madza 6 over the Camry any day
The Mazda 6 is a sleeper, so I will definitely get it.
A couple of weeks to get used to the infotainment system?! Dude, it took all of 5 minutes for me to appreciate how much safer and easier to use it is. I will say I wish it could sense when a passenger was present to unlock the touchscreen for them to use.
Odisho Younan The kid can’t even backup a car without damaging it, how do you expect him to learn how to use control knob in the Mazda?
I was at a strip mall and a gentleman came up and ask about my madza cx 5 turbo . He love the looks and like the interia. Said it was like the Q5 which is a great compliment. He is planning to buy the cx-5 When learned about the price and driving dynamic.
Everyone complained how Toyota’s cars looked boring and uncool, Toyota is at least trying to make the Camry and all other models look nice inside and out. Toyota does a lot of quality control that’s where some of the money goes when you buy one, your paying for quality and reliability, and as an extra Toyota wants to make there lineup looks cool and interesting . So don’t be bashing them when there trying.
The Mazda looks way better. Plus the Toyota wheels look like a spare wheel. Mazda just makes better vehicles than Toyota. The Mazda even looks more upmarket and expensive. The TOYota looks cheap as usual.
Sorry, I have to disagree. Not many Mazda cars in the US or any parts of the world that dates back in the 80s that are still on the road. Mazda can't even do a rotary engine right.
@@turndroid234 Toyota can't do any engine right. Toyota didn't even try a rotary engine. So you can't knock Mazda for it.
Brian T Mazda was the only auto manufacturer to make a mass production rotary engine. Other manufacturers never made it past experimental testing.
@@SDav21 wdym? Btw rotary is like the least fuel efficient engine.
Say all you want but Toyota’s are the best cars for longevity and very little maintenance. I’ll take that over anything else even tho I disagree with you on the looks. The Camry looks more sporty
The Mazda6 dial makes it so much easier to use when driving. Keeps the screen clean too :)
The Camry looks like something a kid would buy or a really childish adult. The Mazda is faster and sexy looking at the same time.
Having owned a new mazda with mzd connect it comes as second nature after a few days and is very easy to use.
Mazda transmission totally changes when you put it in sport mode. Super fun.
I am a HUGE fan of Mazda. I bought a Mazda 3 back in 2012. That car took great care of me. Amazing performance and gas mileage. Payed cash for it back then and decided to pass it down to my Son. I just bought a 2020 Mazda 6 Grand Touring with all the bells and whistles. The most AMAZING car I have ever owned.
Definitely a natural v6 over a turbo & $4k less.
Simon yes, but keep in mind that particular Mazda 6 that they were driving is a signature model, top of the line with all the bells and whistle‘s that that Camry TRD does not have
Turbos kill engine life.natural power any day..toyota all 365 days.
@@dorranrobinson6207 if a car is designed from the factory with a turbo and that specific amount of boost the longevity won't be affected, especially if you don't thrash it like a teenaged WRX owner. Different story if the turbo was added on to a car not intended to have one
The comments say Mazda.
Most of the people that buys these car say Toyota.
because most of the people that buy the toyota are usually loyal costumers or for the reliability. Other than that the mazda and the accord are better driver cars by far.
The back seat space has a lot to do with it.
@@stephenj4937 I have 2 Mazda 6s, and I'm 6 feet tall. They really aren't very roomy back there. Wouldn't trade for an Accord though.
Mazdas are bought by enthusiasts and people who judge each car in the class objectively. If you're buying on reputation for reliability alone, it's going to be Toyota. If you do comparison between all the cars in the class, it's very hard to think of reasons to not buy the Mazda.
I drive a 2016 Mazda 6 coming from Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, Mazda is definitely more for the drivers..very fun and elegant car
Ya i have a mazda and its true that you learn to love the controller plus you never get prints on the screen
Hey Tommy, you didn’t mention the display inside the front window of the Mazda 6 signature that shows your speed, GPS directions, stop signs, or that HUGE BRAKE sign that lights up! Lol...
I dunno how but Mazda’s are just quicker. I recently had a 2015 mazda 6 GT and traded it in for a 2019 RAV4 Adventure and the mazda was not only way more fun to drive but it was also much quicker (and it was a 2015). I test drove 2019 Camry’s and they weren’t even as quick as my 2015 Mazda so yeah, the Camry’s look awesome but behind the wheel they’re just not as much fun to drive. Great video guys✌🏽
Camry is trying a little hard. Mazda looks better
I can also assure you, this a easy to use knob. It almost impossible to STOP using it
But what about the car?
@Erok Magnag I don't buy made in china

@@theodorekell Yeah all across the line up they are using more sound deadening, and the cars are more equipped, so the weight has crept up, some things are better, but I remember part of what they were going with when the latest 6 came out was lower weight than previous models. Even though I have had three trucks now, I am still a Mazda fan, had 2 mx6's and a 6 before, think if I was to get another car or a cuv, it would be a Mazda.
@@garys2157 And I am opposite. 3 years back I thought, there is nothing I can buy but Mazda. Right now, only Miata can make me smile. I drive only stick. And I have 3 Mazdas parked on the driveway right now - 2x'3 and 1x'6 all manuals. Solid machines. My 2 '3 have total of 250K with almost no issues. One had literally 3 problems totaling $120. I don't think '6 is as solid. Specifically the engine. It will need intake port cleaning eventually. But as little as we drive now, it might take long time. If I had to buy today... never been so hard. I want MT, No turbo and good handling. Oh, boy
My 2005 Mazda 6 V6 hatchback in 'Blazing Copper' color was my favorite car I've ever owned. I fit a twin air mattress in the back and drove 4 days to Alaska and then later drove back. Excellent car.
Mazda looks better and they are really fun to drive
My 2017 is fun. But not this one
I kind of smile when I read one comment here that compares Toyota Camry TRD as Lady Gaga, Mazda 6 T as Princess Diana😂😂😂😂
wait, i've seen this one already....
You should really mention the Mazda makes 250hp on premium fuel. From driving that engine you can tell the power difference, we’ll worth the $.40/gal
I own a 2020 6 and only use premium since the performance and MPGs are better which gets rid of the cost difference
If given the chance, Ill go for Mazda, than the taxi cab camry.
It's more uber than taxi. Lol
@@dantoine0here in middleast its taxi, even the hybrid,, but not sure of the v6 though.
cuz it reliable that why taxi driver like it

the Camry looks ugly, the Mazda looks nice and classy.
The camry look like a ricer even tho it's stock.
Not one bit but to each their own
that why u but what you like, other prople like the camry
The first time I saw a new Camry with the drooping gasket lines beneath the tail lights, I thought I was looking at collision damage. Yes, to me, Toyota always finds new ways to uglify their cars.
When I first saw them dropped at a local Toyota dealership I thought they would be something like 400HP. It really looks like it's faster than it is.
Before the drag race I bet on Toyota, but a nice surprise at the end!
I own a Mazda 6 and I do not find it a fast car, but when I go to service it and they look underneath I love the mechanics face saying "oh, it has the original parts" and is 2010.
Because camry is heavier due to all the rice crap they put in there
I knew from the beginning that the Mazda would win. I’ve had a Mazda as my first car and from the moment I got in and pressed the gas, the car floored it forward. Mazda’s as FAST and have a lot of power.
The accord 2.0t is faster than both of them.
And a Supra is faster that the Accord, so what's your point?
Andres Salazar Autos Isn’t the Accord a rival to the Camry and Mazda 6. I not from the US but in Aus it’s a rival to the 6 and Camry so for me yes it makes sense that the Accord is compared to the Camry and 6
@@mills3375 It is, but my point, you can always name something that is faster, roomier, prettier, etc. In the video we are seeing which of these cars is faster (at altitude). I could also make a point and say that the Camry is faster at sea level than the Mazda. Also, how many people buy a car exclusively based on 0-100 or 0-60? It is fun to watch but mostly irrelevant in real life, passing times are much more interesting and in that category Mazda6 has both the Camry and Accord beaten.
Not necessarily. They are about even in real life, especially at sea level.
@@DMCarReviews the Accord is actually faster, he's right, but, 0 to 60 is just a number that actual people who actually buy cars rarely care about.
i'll still take the CAMRY
Visham Chinkan XSE v6 all day
I’m a spirited driver. Every TRD I’ve encountered has really surprised me when it comes to performance. Maybe they were hooked up on top of the TRD upgrade...but they All, around 5, have surprised me which is why I respect that TRD emblem.
They handle very well. Slow but well. I come from a turbocharged 86 and love the xse. Im curious to see how the awd handles.
There was nothing added but flair. No changes to power train
I've had my 2018 Mazda 6 Sport with manual with a little over 2 years. Mazda is correct in regards to the ease of use with the rotary knob versus the touchscreen, as the need to use the touchscreen is completely unnecessary. The rotary knob serves it purpose with no need to touch the screen for navigating the infotainment.
So when Jeep puts little Jeeps/logos everywhere they’re called “easter eggs” and are fun but when Toyota puts TRD everywhere its “in your face”? Gotta be non biased guys. I love your videos but I also love consistency.
When Mazda vs Honda? Or the 3 together?
A camry has a factory exhaust note.. We're really living through a dystopian time folks
Tommy - use the star button next to the rotary knob to get to the presets or toggle through the steering wheel control. The Mazda system takes less than hour to get setup and get use to. It’s so simple and you can use it without taking your eyes off the road.
The dial is so easy to use but then the presenter is a child.....
Like the rest of the Mazda 6, it is a FAR more elegant solution to an industry wide deficiency.
@@rdhqcpro9751 elegant? i didnt see that
@@philtripe Have you actually used it and gave it a fair chance? Dare to be different.
I own a new Mazda 3 and I’m happy it’s not a touch screen. Driving a manual my hand is is located in that area anyway. Set what you want before heading off in your trip and then you don’t need to play with dials, concentrate on driving that’s what a driver should be doing
That Camry TRD does looks aggressive and I have to say looks even better in person. This is not a car for people who want to blend in. I love it! Couple that with Toyota's legendary reliability and the amazing practicality of the this generation's Camry platform and you have one amazing daily driver especially at its price point. Well done Toyota! No wonder these are selling better than expected for Toyota. Just too bad it does not come in a manual.
The Mazda looks more comfortable and luxurious especially on the inside but it also looks like it is a nightmare to keep clean. I'm not getting any younger so it is the Camry TRD for me! In fact, it actually was on our short list for a second car but again it did not come in a manual and it would not fit in our garage with our other car. We went for a Honda Civic Type R instead and LOVE it but I am so glad cars like the Camry TRD exist. Well done Toyota!
Mazda has the same interior in Walnut /Black combination and looks a lot better that the Ivory. A LOT BETTER!!
@@ronalde.mirandalazala7873 Good to know.
I'm sorry but the first four minutes of this review was completely worthless imo.
On what octane fuel you are running low or high, 227 or 250 BHP. On engine specs you said 227 and in drag race you said 250 i really want to know.
You can also find those orange seat belts in a "Mack Truck".
Mazda’s infotainment is one of the best in the market. I feel a lot safer turning the knob rather than touching the screen while I am driving. Lookwise Mazda’s front is a head turner.
“Some of the commenters are going to disagree with me” lol. Yeah I do, I had a scion iA for a while (rebadged mazda 3), I got used to the knob very quickly, I actually found myself using it even when the car was stopped so I didn’t have to reach (laziness I know).
Rebadged Mazda2 not Mazda3
As the owner of a Mazda I completely agree. You get accustom to it and never use the touchscreen.
The Mazda makes more than that, it's 227 on 87 Octane and 250 with 93 Octane. 310 Ft-lbs regardless (I think the 2020 gets 320 on 93 Octane)
I prefer the sleek, classy, and sophisticated look of the Mazda.
