TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Mazda 6 is a stylish, good handling sedan that finally has the underhood muscle to match.

The 2018 Toyota Camry remains among the most competitive mid-size sedans, with a sleeker design, higher fuel economy, and carefully calibrated features and options for every buyer.

TCC Likes

Pretty to look at
Turbo power to match
Decent value

Crisp new shape no longer bland
Sportier to drive, relatively
Active safety features standard

TCC Dislikes

Turbo-4 too little, too late?
Awful infotainment system
New Signature trim doesn’t meet expectations

Generic image
Lower seat height may not appeal
Unconvincing SE "sporty" models
