Dissenting view, why not a Mazda3 Carbon Turbo or Preferred? The prices are pretty much the same for the Camry SE and Accord 2.0T. Reliability is the same, but no subscription smart key. I owned a 2004 Hatch manual, got wrecked by a dumbass going on red. But if I had to choose right now… Mazda3 or CX-5. Interior is phenomenal, performance is spot on (they tend to be well tuned from stock) and they look sexy as hell. Only downside is that they don’t tend to have as many lenders available as Honda or Toyota dealers, but their value holds well.
