same
accord rulezzzzzzzz

do u have pictures of it?

from wat i understand from mazda, first batch 2.5 all oledi kena sapu... left 2.0... and the salesman said 2.0 only got 2 colors black and dark blue... i have sat into the 2.0 one, interior wise depends on individual expectation and taste, to me i like a compact design and i feel the ones in mazda 6 quite appealing to me... exterior wise 2.5 one looks better...

we have alot of honda fanboys in this forum, anything NOT made by honda will be ugly la, glaring la
anything from honda, eventhough the quality is abit low rent, they will call it elegant

sport based dashboard eg: current civic, maserati, *insert sport car name*, etc..
they can be elegant too u know?

Lol.. what are you talking about? Honda fanboys should LOVE the new Mazda 6 cause it has the Bengness added to it now.

i'm one of honda fan... i love accord, but did i bash camry?
if you really read, you can see i compare camry and accord in terms of quality, performance, price, etc
i'm biased, but still in comparison, i'm not biased

back to the topic
just take a look at the dashboard meter
doesn't it look glaring, just like iswara meter?

accord belongs to luxury class (in MY)
do we really need fancy mid console?
so i guess you're trying to implement ahbeng style of dashboard in accord?

srry but where is the bengness in the new mazda? not even stock honda has any of it...

price, they're not much off between them, quality, IMO japanese' interior still needs improvement(most of them, except lexus) in quality(i didnt mean they'll fall apart, but it doesnt feel luxurious enough)

anyways, im not a fan of fancy console either, the picture looks glaring because its a photography, its best that you sit inside both cars and compare, instead of comparing via the pictures
im slightly biased to the mazda 6 based on their outlook, but i dare not comment anything about the interior yet cuz i havent sit in one, i've driven both camry and accord, there's nothing much to shout about in those two cars IMO, they're just a very comfy and big family commuter

also about the performance, the 2.5l is down on power, but its around 100odd kilos lighter, that equals to a well built driver, or two chicks

i hate to admit that quality, comfort and reliability wise, camry (vs accord) is better
toyota is always better in QC

accord only wins in price, performance and maybe FC wise, so far...

love thy accord for re-sale value.

Test drove the Honda Accord 2.4.Really below expectations lah...Nothing great or captivating about the car.Its just another honda.2.4 engine felt sluggish and not willing to go.This is after flooring it on a nice piece of straight road....

the 6 rides and handles better than the accord or camry.. quality wise, i don't know.. but surely the 6 wins in the design department..

the reason mazda is not selling well here is because the dealership, after sales & service.. and.. the fact that malaysians prefer the 'T' and 'H' badges over anything else.

if you prefer european car but for whatever reason chose not to own it,
then mazda is the best subsitute

i agree with ppl saying the 6 looks sporty and the honda more to the elegant luxury side

Can elaborate more on this?
Do you mean Mazda6 is more comfortable inside in terms of riding, NVH (quietness), and handling than Accord?

I like the outlook of the Mazda, but I'm not buying a car for the outlook only. Resale value, aftermarket support, parts availability, skilled technicians who can diagnose issues if it ever occurs, wide 3S network etc.

Apart from the looks, the Mazda has nothing that even comes close to the Honda.

OMG
this is the real interior ??
so arcade like

omg..is that really the interior of new mazda6? so ah beng..

i don't think it looks like this la....it doesn't suite the car at all...
