2012 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Review
I just purchased a Camry LE at a fantastic price. Prior to purchasing the Camry, I test drove the 2013 Altima 2.5SV. The Camry won out on quality and refinement. It is extremely quiet and smooth. Fit and finish is also excellent. You cannot go wrong with this car. Everything in the car works intuitively.

Review
Traded by 2011 for the 2012 SE just because I wanted the newer style and technology.
Bought fully loaded with push button start, leather, sunroof, dimming mirror, homelink, nav, entune, etc.
I'm highly disappointed in Entune.
Apps are horrifically slow.
Pandora quality (even when set to high) is bad.
It's better to bluetooth stream Pandora from my phone (iPhone 4S)
Nav is REALLY bad.
Wanted me to go 6 blocks around instead of 1 block forward.
Toyota made some cuts that disappointed me as well such as the removal of power up/down passenger window, LED lighting (exterior) and what seems to be a cheap headliner.

Traded in my 2011 Camry and that was a big mistake!
Sales pitch was I would get much better mileage, Not!
Just barely getting 25 combined and driving it the same as the 2011 which was getting 33 combined.
Hate it because of that.
Hope to trade it soon.

Review
I bought my 2012 Camry XLE
6 months ago and so far i got 21000 miles (HIGHWAY MILES). Great on gas mileage, Seats are comfortable enough but definitely much better then my V w CC. My only complain is why there is so much wind noise every time i pass 70mph you can hear it coming from both side y previous Camry and My SISTER-IN-LAW Camry feels smoother and quieter then newer generation. Other then that overall great car. i'm getting average 32mph so no complain there.. I would suggest to test drive on open freeway and drive for a while before purchasing.

I say "may" because Toyota has just a little work left to do with this generation. Comparing to a previously owned 2010 Camry SE 4-cylinder---
Exterior: The new bodywork is stylish (didn't reinvent the wheel here), love the new front fascia (SE only, not fond of LE or XLE front fascia)
Interior: vastly improved
Performance: better downshifts, car allowed to coast now, still has mpg saving abrupt upshifts dealt with by mashing down gas pedal a little more. Nothing like having a tranny bog down a fine tuned 4-cyl.

like the other posts I have owned Luxury cars and still have one.This is my 1st Camary. I was looking for reliability and fuel ecomomy. Not bad. Had the car 8 months and have 10k miles on it. I am getting the 40 mpg. I do a little more hwy driving. I am averaging 33.8 mpg. Like others I test drove the Kia, Sonata and Honda. Sonata loads you up and Kia is way loaded then bloated (price). The Camary just drove better. Handling is good. Engine peppy. I have owned and still own a sports car so I know the difference. I still have a VW diesel so I am getting 50mpg and 800 miles to a tank but still like this Camary gasser.

Had the car about a month.
Got a great lease deal due to Southeast Toyota's high residual value and low money factor.
Was considerably cheaper than LE model.
Really enjoy driving it.
Had a 2003 Camry LE for a long time and this car is definitely sportier than that.
It's definitely not a sports car, but is fun to drive and gets great gas mileage.
Average close to 40 on the highway.

After owning a number of different cars (Volkswagen, Audi, Infiniti), test driving all the 2012 usual suspects, I was looking for a simple, reliable, fuel efficient vehicle. Reliability was key after my experience with German cars.
The Camry is not a luxury car nor does it offer sporty handling or neck snapping acceleration but it combines solid value, reliability, comfort, superior gas mileage and common sense everyday drivability and usability.
Gas mileage from 4cyl is approx. 30 mpg combination of city/highway. My last Infinity G37 got about 15 mpg in similar driving.
First time Toyota buyer and after 4k miles my verdict is you simply cannot go wrong with the 2012 Camry

Enough power to merge with traffic at freeway entrances.
Engine sound minimal at most conditions and still tolerable at full throttle.
However, road noises unacceptable to me on freeways 290 and 59 in Houston.
Perhaps the almost 200lbs and $2000 MSRP drops came from the reduction of sound isolation/insulation materials and labor.
Manual adjustable passenger front side uncomfortable, unlike the 8-way power adjustable driver one.
Rear speakers are really flimsy with tiny magnets (from the $1000 navigation upgrade package).

I just got my 2012 Camry and am loving it except for one thing. I think this is a design, plus safety issue. When I drive at night on dim, the design of the headlight cover is cutting off part of the extension of light. A definite black line come across the top of the beam thereby cutting off half of the extension of light. I cannot see very into the distance. It is like a black hood has come down on the light. In order to see where the road turns, I have to switch the brights which causes a safety issue. I have to choose whether to see where I'm going or whether to blind oncoming drivers. The light cover needs to be replaced with one allowing the whole beam of light to refract out.
