Mazda vs Camry
After researching 5 vehicles for over three months, I have narrowed my list to the Mazda CX5T and the Camry XSE V6. I have looked at the Camry, but unfortunately the CX5T still isn't available to test. What is the best points to convince me to purchase the CX5T over the Camry? I really prefer a SUV to replace my 2010 Nissan Frontier, but will settle for a sedan based on reliability and the 'fun factor' in driving. I realize that the CX5 isn't made for serious off-road use, so that isn't a factor.

I find Mazdas to be a nice car from a driver perspective. I've owned a Mazda6 and now drive a 2016 CX-5. I have a friend who owns a Toyota Camry and I have a Tundra pickup, Toyota builds a very dependable car, but I like the personality of Mazda better. The CX-5 is a good driver car, especially for a mini SUV, I owned several Outbacks over the years, the handling of the CX-5 is far better. Also, I've had no issues with my CX-5. Not to offend Toyotas, but I find them pretty bland.

Thank you for your input. I am nervously anticipating the CX5T to arrive at the dealers.

what year is the camry , also i learned this the hard way when i had a accord V6. but you should look into what the maintenance is for the v6. for instance .. when i got my accord v6, i had no idea it would need a timing belt and water pump replacement as Standard maintenance. $$$ among other items that were only for the V6 model.....

The Camry is a 2019 Camry XSE V6. In view of the Camry's outstanding record in the past, I don't anticipate any problems with the car. My wife has a 2017 Camry XSE V6 and she has had absolutely NO problems. A V6 doesn't require any more maintenance than any other vehicle. Properly maintained the Camry or Accord are good cars, but all vehicles must be maintained as required to assure long-lasting enjoyment.

I had both and the Camry requires more maintenance. The CX-5 is cheaper to own and performs great. The suspension is stiffer, but you ride higher. Who wants a sedan anymore?

I would be interested in what maintenance you are referring to. All vehicles require some type of routine maintenance.
