The performance is great but it needs a little improvement... It will be great if the camry has 250hp, 3500cc & six speed auto transmission

Review

I owned the Camry for almost 2 years now. This car rides very smooth and comfort, good gas mileage. Steering feels very unstable on windy day, highway only. My only concern is power steer broke at 30K miles, whole rack and pinion system replaced. I am very suprised, this seems to be very early for Toyota car. Manufacture covered the cost, around $900. Other than this problem, I think Camry is a good car for family.

Favorite Features

quiet, comfort, lots of room

Review

I really enjoy the car, dependable stylish, roomy, good ride. Could use more power. I find car quite hard on fuel about town, about 375/400 km to tank. Can't wait to see a 2007.

Favorite Features

Easy to handle, steers light, lots or room, shifts smoothly, good looking car outside. Thanks Toyota.

Suggested Improvements

I have a ce model Add 25 more horsepower, Tilt steering wheel a little more. Heated mirrors, heated seats. Get car off ground another inch or more, makes it easier to get out of. Add radio ear phone jacks in front and back seats (teenager).

Transmission problems

2005 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Ever since I purchased my Toyota, I have had problems with the transmission wanting to downshift when going down a hill, and also not wanting to shift up when accelerating on the highway. The front dashboard has begun to pop up little air bubbles underneath the layer of vinyl covering it.

Favorite Features

Roomy and comfortable

Review

I have had such good experiences with the Camrys I have owned. I decided to buy a brand new Camry and I must say I love it! It's bigger inside and very comfortable! I bought the V6 and this Camry has power! I love my Camry! It's very easy to drive and when I need the power its there! Can`t go wrong with a Toyota!

Favorite Features

The radio controls on the steering wheel,the curtain airbags and the side airbags.

Fuel Economy Disappoints

2005 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

This model is up to Toyota's standards in build quality and reliability, but it suffers in comparison with my '98 Camry 4 (and my wife's former '97) in two respects. The engine is louder under acceleration, producing a very audible roar, and the fuel economy is less. The '97 and '98, EPA rated at 23/30, achieved 22/31. The '05, EPA rated 24/34, is getting 20/30 at best. If it weren't for the clearly inflated EPA rating, my disappointment would be less. Additionally, the dashboard display of avg mpg is consistently 5-6 mpg too high. If it says 36, I'm getting 30; if it says 24, I'm getting 19. Makes me think I'm getting EPA mileage when I'm not. How convenient for Toyota!

Favorite Features

Interior comfort, absence of road noise, steering wheel audio and display controls, RELIABILITY.

Suggested Improvements

REALISTIC FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS, ACCURATE DASH DISPLAYS, better fuel economy (I'd be happy with actual 22/32 and ratings which say so), quieter 4- cylinder engine, more attractive styling (this model looks like it was designed by a committee).

MY FIRST NEW CAR -IT'S A GOOD THING

2005 Toyota Camry Standard 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Well this being my first new car I can say that I did the research and even rented the 2004 mdl.for a weekend cruise to Vegas from L.A. The rental handled and performed flawlesly as does my 05 mdl. The only dif is the 5 speed automatic upgrade from the 4 spd on the 04 mdl. This car is for the most part a pleasure to drive, city driving or freeway or Death Valley for that matter.My avg frwy mpg is 32 and I don't drive the speed limit if at all possible . No speeding tickets yet ! Los Angeles in town mpg is realisticly 24. Toyota really did this little 4 cyl.eng. very right. There is no lack of power with it loaded or not.

Favorite Features

The standard stereo controls on the steering wheel Music Mestro. Wow I use that feature a lot. The automatic daytime running lights, you need all the visiblity you can get in this city day or night! Center armrest front and rear. Tons of storage space, A massive trunk folddown seatbacks ETC.

Suggested Improvements

From a stop it takes some getting used to not to give it to much gas as the car seems to jut or lurch forward. Same with the brakes, very touchy.The service people at the dealership test drove it/thats how they are? To much bass not enough tweeter in the basic sound syst. More clear coat on the paint

Review

The car is very surprising. I had a 99 Malibu with a 6 cyl. The Camry will leave it sitting. Good acceleration and much better gas mileage. Malibu 24mpg Camry 34mpg. Pretty comfy on long trips. very quiet. I tented the windows and installed in channel rain guards. Hated cracking the window and getting soaked. But it really looks sharp now. Lots of these on the road in SC. I got the car on the 39 month lease. I may buy the car. If not I will get another just like it. My opinion, best car on the road.

Favorite Features

Big trunk and big interior, how do they do that? No noises or mechanical problems at all, so far. Comfy and good gas mileage. Low RPM at 90+MPH. Still get 34mpg at that speed. Amazing!

Suggested Improvements

Rear window defroster is very slow. No side air bags. The good outweighs the bad by a long shot.
