Indeed.
By the way, I've heard that a Mazda 3 (at least the old ones) can get extremely expensive when they break. Is that true?
Oh, and when I hear Camry, I immediately think of the old 90's ones. I know one with 580k km on the original engine, ever opened. It smokes a little bit when cold, but that's it.'87 Mazda 323 SL - daily driver, backup show car (being restored as I get time)

It's not 320 hp. lol It does get up though. The 3 had some pretty annoying shifting issues that the Camry doesn't have. It's smooth as silk when acceleration which makes the 178 hp feel very well matched.
It's a better car in almost every way.
I think one of the speakers in the dash is blown though. I get a little noise bumpy songs.
I'm not sure about the expensive part. I do know the TCM cost me $500 to get a new one, and that's with me replacing it. I put knew pads and rotors on the front a while back and I don't remember that being too much.
I'll get some pics up as soon as I can catch up with it. The wife really likes it.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss

Not many cars today are only 4m. Even my 1970 VW is considerably longer (4.5m, but it's only 1.63 wide).
I had a quick look at the specs, the latest Micra is 4m...'87 Mazda 323 SL - daily driver, backup show car (being restored as I get time)
