Looking at buying a Mazda6 or Toyota Camry.Both 2010,both done 120000Klms and both have service history.The Mazda will cost $11000 and the Toyota will cost $12500.Is it worth paying the extra for the Toyota?Any faults to watch out for in these cars?Like has the Mazda got a CVT transmission?Would love a Honda Accord Euro but they seem to go for higher prices.Thank you in advance.

These are bothe very good cars with great reputations for reliability, neither has any major common weaknesses and the price isn't too dissimilar (I'm sure the dealer asking $12,500 would negotiate a little).
The mileage is higher that I'd have really liked, but not excessive for now, however, be mindful that the mileage may be a barrier if/when you come to sell at a later date unless you do a low mileage.
Honda Accord is also a good model, the reality being all three models are well regarded.
