Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Camry than the Mazda Mazda3, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Mazda Mazda3 and the Toyota Camry in the front seats.
Convenience
With the Toyota Camry you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Mazda Mazda3, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Mazda Mazda3 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota Camry.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Mazda Mazda3 and the Toyota Camry have similar Destination Charges.
Dimensions
Since the Mazda Mazda3 is much slimmer than the Toyota Camry, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
The Mazda Mazda3 is slightly shorter than the Toyota Camry, which may make it easier to park.
Handling
The Mazda Mazda3 has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Toyota Camry, allowing much better maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Mazda Mazda3 has less horsepower than the Toyota Camry, so it will probably be somewhat slower.
Powertrain
With similar torque, the Mazda Mazda3 and the Toyota Camry do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Mazda Mazda3 and the Toyota Camry.
The Mazda Mazda3 has less cargo capacity than the Toyota Camry, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
Warranty
The Mazda Mazda3 comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Toyota Camry.
