2009 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

This is my fourth Toyota, and my third Camry. The 2009 LE is beautiful, reliable, and a pleasure to drive. I have gotten 26 MPG on combined city and hwy driving, and I am very pleased with this number. Though I would like a little more pickup when accelerating, and I decided to add the side body molding to avoid dings, everything else is wonderful. I would not drive anything else!

Favorite Features

Looks, comfort, reliability, cost to own and operate, and the peace of mind that comes with owning a Toyota!

Suggested Improvements

Better acceleration for 4 cylinder models, and side body molding should be standard.

2009 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I purchased this car with 9500 miles on it and I love it. I compared several different cars before purchasing and basically boiled down to Accord & Camry (I tried the corolla but decided it was to small and as a result lest comfortable). The Camry is by far the most smooth and quiet. I love the ride. I was expecting better gas mileage but now I realize that I was mixing it up with the Corolla. I am getting between 25 - 28 mpg with mostly hwy driving. On a 450 mile drive that was almost ALL hwy I got 29 - 30 but the regular was between 25 - 28. (I would say that it is about 75% hwy 25% city) If you are looking for a really smooth ride and easy handle of a car, Camry is the way to go.

Favorite Features

Stereo system, easy access to controls, great pick up, Super quiet ride.

Suggested Improvements

Toyota should make computer instant mpg and miles to empty etc. standard on the LE model.

Excellent Purchase for the Second Time!!

2009 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

We bought this car to replace my other Camry that is 10 years old. I will say it is such a fun car to drive! I love all the safety features it offers. I drive up and down the interstate daily and feel confident that I am in a safe car! I got all that I wanted with no compromise. We still kept the old Camry to drive around town to save miles on the new Camry and my husband's '04 Toyota Tundra. I will only ever own a Toyota! Excellent made cars and trucks.

Favorite Features

Keyless entry, plenty of head and leg room, all the air bags, the color of the exterior, smooth and quiet ride.

Suggested Improvements

I haven't found any so far.

Poor mileage

2009 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I have been very disappointed with the mileage. After 3000 miles it still averages 14 -17 MPG city & 24-26 highway. It has a comfortable ride& good pick up for a 4 cylinder. The stereo has good sound but the IPOD jack is in a difficult to reach location. The climate control in not near as good as the Buick Park Ave I previously owned. I can't believe it didn't come with automatic windshield washers. Don't waste your time with the GPS for $200 buy a Garmin- much easier to use.

Favorite Features

comfortable ride

Suggested Improvements

milage, IPOD jack location, GPS too complicated, loading CD'S without opening GPS, heated seat should have high & low not just one setting, auto wipers

Review

I'm writing this review for all the people who are debating on getting a Camry. Hey, don't mess around and wind up with a piece of junk that you'll hate driving and paying an arm and a leg for it. Go buy a Camry, they are reasonably priced, they ride so smooth and they are fun to drive. I bought two, one for me and one for my wife... I've made a smart move when I purchased the Camry(s).

Favorite Features

Body style, interior, handling, ride, power, remote built in key (awesome feature).

Suggested Improvements

Can't think of anything.

So far so good

2009 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I had almost decided to buy an Accord before I test drove a Camry. It's much smoother and quieter than an Accord. Even though the I4 Camry is rated at 158 HP, lower than the I4 177 Hp Accord lx and 190 HP EX models, I didn't feel a great deal of difference between Camry and Accord LX. Hands down, the Honda has a better quality interior. The Accord had a tighter and a bit more responsive steering and suspension (not by much). But I was immediately impressed by the silky smooth engine, soft shifting and quietness of the Camry. Also Camry LE was cheaper with 16 inch alloys and moon roof than Accord LX-P. I like it so far (fingers crossed).

Favorite Features

Smooth ride, comfortable and supportive seats. The black color and alloy wheels makes it look much better. Simple controls. Decent gas mileage. Roomy and relaxing ride. Decent sound system. Aggressively priced and great incentives. Standard power drivers seat on LE model.

Suggested Improvements

Could use a better interior, especially the dash board and instrument cluster. Don't like the green background lighting. Could use a more responsive and tighter steering. Couldn't find an LE model with alloy wheels and without moonroof. Ended up paying more for something I didn't need.

Very comfortable and quite.

Review

My third Camry. Still keep 97 LE – 12 years of trouble-free service. The 09 one is very comfortable and quite, hope will be as reliable as my 97 Camry. 2.4 l four is perfectly adequate but so far I got 22 MPG on mixed driving – compare to my 97’s 26 MPG. Another disappointment is oil change – have to do it after each 5000 miles compare to 7500 in most other cars. On positive side – all other maintenance is almost non-existing, antifreeze & transmission fluid work for 90000 miles, spark plugs for 120000, timing belt is finally gone and chain does not need replacement. Things like stability/traction control, trip computer, body side molding, mud guards must be standard.

Favorite Features

Value for the money, roomy interior, comfort, quietness, Toyota quality.

Suggested Improvements

Stability/traction control, trip computer, body side molding, radio with Blue Tooth must be standard – they are important safety features or modern necessities. Auto lights turn on in bright daylight – the sensor should detect real dusk, not ‘sun in clouds’ condition. Better quality interior in LE.

Replaced 325i

Review

I always thought that I would own 3 series BMWs but because of extremely poor dealership practices, I purchased the Camry for my wife's normal driving. While not as peppy as the 6 cyl. Bimmer, it is fine for everyday driving. We both love the car and I honestly feel that we have not stepped down in quality, comfort. Those interested in fine family car should consider.

Favorite Features

Styling, fit and finish, mileage, happiness of my wife. The SE tuning is very similar to the sports sedan it replaces at a cost of $15,000 less and a heck of a lot less aggravation from their dealers.

Suggested Improvements

I miss the 3 series computer generated mileage, miles to empty, average speed etc., this may be available on higher end models of this car that I did not want.

Great on miles per gallon.

Traction control to be standard.

2009 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

First time Toyota owner. Had a very tough time deciding between the Accord and Camry. Received so much more for my money with the Camry and it is a much quieter, smoother ride. Just passed 3K miles and am getting about 31mpg hwy/fwy. Am very happy with my purchase!

Favorite Features

Very easy to use dash, quiet, smooth ride, huge trunk.

Suggested Improvements

Would like a distance to empty fuel gauge and do not like the seatbelt alarm going off even if you have something small (like a bag of groceries) in passenger seat next to you. Would like reclining back seats in LE.
