Quicker automatics

I need to purchase a car for my wife as her 1990 Camry is getting long in tooth. She wants a car (automatic) about the same size (4 cyl) that has plenty of pep. Does anyone have any recomendations between the Accord, Camry, Mazda or another make of the same size?

Thanks,

Out of the 3 ive driven only a Camry 05 model, and it has enough get up n go for a daily driver.

what is the price range

Where in the world are you?

The Mazda 3 is a fantastic car, and more than quick enough.
The Accord Euro is also very good, and easily quicker than the Camry.

Subaru Legacy GT automatic. Quicker and classy.

Note: the Accord Euro is basically the Acura TSX in the United States. Very good car.

Honestly, a modern Corolla or Civic will be close to the size of the 1990 Camry. Between the Camry and Accord, I'd lean towards the Accord. It is just a much nicer place to be then the Camry.
