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

Review

As of today, I've had my Barcelona Red Metallic SE for one week, and I LOVE it! The ride is superb, and the looks turn heads --- not only because of the outside styling, but also the interior. The OptiTron gauges are beautiful, and really add to the aesthetics. Though only an i4, the car handles impressively --- LOVE the round-abouts! ;) I previously had a '94 Camry Coupe, and traded in my '04 LE for the '09. I have noticed the fit/finish is not quite as crisp/clean as in my prior Camrys, but IMO still very good. In fact, my '09 fit/finish appears to be improved over the '07/'08 models. Great car, beautiful looks, nice handling, quiet ride, and overall a great car!

Favorite Features

Body styling! Interior styling! OptiTron gauges! JBL Sound system! Bluetooth! Love that! Handling! Quiet ride! Fuel economy! Overall quality!

Suggested Improvements

Fit/Finish - Toyota MUST return to their previous quality control level! LED tail lights on the SE! ;) Increased horsepower on i4.

An excellent vehicle

Review

The Camry SE is probably overpriced in the Camry style, however, it does provide almost all features advertised. I find the comfort and interior design to be very good. Fuel savings are important and this 4cyl does the job.

Favorite Features

Road handling

Suggested Improvements

Power, it is too much car for a 4cyl and pickup needs improvement. Also, exhaust system sounds like a toy car winding up.

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

Review

I just got back from a cross country trip and I am extremely happy with my new Camry. The ride is exactly what I want from a car. I checked out the Accord and the Altima and the Camry is so much quieter than those it is unbelievable. The only extra I got on mine is the JBL audio system which lets me make hands free calls. This should be something standard on all cars. Also, the sound of the stereo is by far better than anything I've ever had in a car. Love the smooth quiet ride. I highly recommend this car

Favorite Features

The gas mileage. I averaged over 33 mpg on for about 3500 miles driving 70 mph with the cruise on. Also, the awesome stereo system.

Suggested Improvements

nothing I can think of

Love my Camry XLE

2009 Toyota Camry XLE V6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

This is my first Toyota and I purchased it because of the high gas prices. I traded in my Nissan Pathfinder for something more economical. When I test drove the Camry, I knew this was the vehicle for me. It as a professional look and the feel and how it handles the road is exceptional. I had reservations about owning a car after my SUV, but I was wrong. Thanks Toyota, I love the experience.

Favorite Features

I love the sleek look, the high performance and I look the gas mileage it gets. I have the sunroof, wood grain and leather package.

Suggested Improvements

Continue to improve the ride and better gas mileage.

Outstanding vehicle

Review

This will go down as one of the best vehicles that I have ever purchased. Replacing my Yukon to gain better economy, this vehicle has exceeded my expectations. Fuel economy is excellent giving me with the V6 32 MPG with the very first tank of gas with the cruise set right below 70. Appears to be very solid and comfortable and the fit and finish is excellent.

Favorite Features

Like the handling and the sound system is awesome but the neatest feature is the blue tooth option for hands free operation of my cell phone.

Review

Purchased the car 2 weeks ago and put 865 miles on it already. Wife drives 70 miles a day round-trip. She loves the ride, comfort and filling up the tank for $60 versus $90 for our 2004 mini van that we traded in. Problem going down hills, the RPM shoot up to 3000 while braking. I took back to dealership & asked them to reprogram the computer. They refused because the problem wouldn't duplicate itself while tech drove it. I talked to the head mechanic the next day and he told me it definitely needs reprogramming. Now I have another appt. to get the problem fixed.

Favorite Features

Comfort, ride, looks and gas mileage.

My First Camry

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

Review

Just purchased my first Camry last month. I liked and test drove all of the available packages for model year 2009. I opted for the 2009 SE with the 4 cylinder. This is a superb vehicle. It has all the convenience of a four door with a large trunk and yet has the looks of a sports car. I chose the 4 cylinder strictly based on the economy. The vehicle hugs the road. If you do a lot of Autobahn type driving purchase the SE and you will enjoy the sport tuned suspension. GREAT vehicle in this price range. The carpeted wheel wells, trunk lid, and engine compartment create a VERY quiet cabin.

Favorite Features

Looks, reliabilty, fuel efficiency, feel, the ride.

Suggested Improvements

Sunroof should be standard on the SE.

Review

This is the first Toyota I have ever owned. Let me just say that this far exceeds anything i ever expected. My Toyota has highway power with extra to boot. Comforts that make my 45 minute drive to work easy. After driving my Camry I can tell you that I am Toyota lover now and my teenagers will each receive one when the time is right.

Favorite Features

Adjustable seats are the best because I am taller than my husband and need to adjust my seat do to a back injury.

Suggested Improvements

A signal beep or reminder to shut the moon roof.

Ready to Trade

Review

I purchased a 2009 Toyota Camry SE in March and will be trading it very soon. Only has 800, but I would rather not have a bad back. The seats in the Camry are the most uncomfortable seats of any car I've ever owed. The ride is smooth and the car is quiet, decent gas mileage and nice style. NO pickup at all. This car is to big for a 4 cylinder and it hesitates when you press on the gas as you start off. Not good if you plan to do a lot of highway driving. Toyota should be ashamed of themselves for designed such uncomfortable seats. Honda here I come.

Favorite Features

Style

Suggested Improvements

Seats are terrible (uncomfortable) and needs more horsepower.

Review

As a father of three children, and a passion for sports cars, finding something that boasts performance and economic efficiency was no easy task until I took this camry se v6 for a test drive. It makes a statement with high performance driving and looks. Rest assured whether you're hauling groceries with the family or just haulin' on open road, the smiles are impossible to hide. Overall comfort and interior quality makes you forget your not driving a $50k automobile. All of the creature comforts and styling at half the expected cost.

Favorite Features

Smooth powerful acceleration, sports car feel, very quiet ride, solid suspension and first class handling, constant sense of connection to the road, road imperfections are well dissolved, gauge and console decor are ahead of their time.

Suggested Improvements

6 speed manual option for the v6 would be great. Multi CD player should be standard on all models.
