None of those cars are in the Midsize segment. They're either classified as Large or Sporty two-doors.
I've wanted to drive an Accord Sport M/T but after calling a few big dealers in the PNW, none recall receiving any this year. I'm on their callback list but nada. A nationwide search on a couple shopping sites show zero in stock so wonder what's up?
No M/T for Camry, a disappointment. Also no LSD option that's needed on the V6. The 2020 I drove spun its tires all the way through 1st gear on a hard TRAC-off launch.
If you have time and can find one, demo the TRD. It's surprisingly competent. Not overwhelming or anything, but for an inexpensive midsize sedan with a V6, they engineered a nice kit from chassis bracing, lowering springs, shocks, sways, lightweight wheels, tires, exhaust, a body kit I could live without, some interior cosmetics, and no-charge summer tire upgrade to Potenza RE-050's. All for around $28K after incentives and Costco help.
Edit: Forgot about the bigger 4-pot front brakes on the TRD.
