Does it feel a bit slow on the road?

Looks great… how much did it cost you?

She’s a beauty! My car feels more like a ‘he’ though.

What exactly caused your Mazda3 to stop working after 11 years? Seems kind of early for that.

Wonder if they meant they slid into something like a tree?

Nope. It was the transmission and CV issues. The engine was fine and handled well in the snow.

It’s an odd year model. The shop went through six CV axles before finding the right one. The transmission was giving trouble, too. I had two shops look at it, but neither fixed it properly. At that point, I didn’t want to keep spending money on it. I’d driven it for two years with no payments, so I wasn’t too upset. The car had already been through a lot before I got it.

Thanks! I actually went out intending to look at a used AWD Camry, but this one stood out. I had rented one like it a few years back.

Same here! Renting one made me fall in love with it. Bought mine a few weeks ago and haven’t regretted it. There’s nothing I don’t like about it.

I wanted the hatch version, but they were sold out, and I needed a car that day.

They’re super dependable. I’ve got a 2020 SE Nightshade with over 106k miles, and it still drives great. But yeah, Camrys are a comfier ride for sure :100:.
