Review
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.

I bought a new Camry 2011 XLE 4 cyl
in April 2011. Its a nice vehicle, not the best vehicle, but seems solidly built.
On 2 separate
occasions
i've
had (2) different new Camry 2012
LE's that I had by the dealer to drive.
The whole interior feels extremely cheap much more so than the 2011, the center of the dash is just cheap plastic, also the steering wheel has a lot of cheap plastic as well.
Its very difficult to see the gauges as the information seems to be in hard to see small letters. Braking is good, and the mpg was only 27 ok pick up as well. But what was Edmunds thinking when they said the interior was a higher quality than previous models.
Very cheap and inferior feeling
to it.

I bought my '12 SE with standard equips about 6 weeks ago and already put 2800 miles on it. I'm getting 33 avg mpg with easy-on-the-pedal. I kind of regret not test-driving the competitors, Honda Accord and VW GLI/Passat in particular. I like Camry's interior best, in terms of design, not so much quality (not terrible, just not as quality as Accord/maybe VWs). Reason I never bothered with Hondas was because my relatives have Acura MDX's ('03 and '07s) and Honda Odessey ('02), all have bad transmissions. 3 of 5 MDX's had some sort of transmission grinding-like noises and slipping gear-like, car start to jerk going 30+ mph. Engine mounts went bad and makes the engine shaky/metal clanking/etc..

Pleasantly surprised by what this 4 cylinder can do.
Quiet, smooth great mileage but you have to drive sensibly to get the grat mileage.
I have got close to 38 MPG at cruising speed on the freeway and got about 35 overall on one recent short trip.
The secret of getting good mileage is to keep your foot out of the engine.
I have had this car about a month now and so far so good.
Only down side is the front fascia on this car.
It is weak and by that I mean it is fragile.
I had to bring it back the day after I bought it because the cheap under panels under the front fell off and scrunched under the car.
Front bumper has a crease in it from some kind of bump and looks like hell.

Have just over 3k miles on my camry. Overall this is a great car. I traded in my 2010 highlander limited on this vehicle.Although i went down in price point, this car is just as nice.Has a few more features than my Highlander ie. lane departure warning system and pandora.Mpg is about 30 if i keep my foot out of it. The power is what most surprised me out of a V6. The previous reviewer did not like the seats, but I
like them better than the highlander which had almost "0" bolster support. You won't go wrong with this car!

The camry was the last car I was test driving and it was by mistake!
I kept on looking at this car in the showroom and I couldn't believe it was a camry. I was never a fan of the Camry styling but the 2012 has a nice sleek look to the car.
The car is muscular (I know for a camry), and the lines are clean.
My favorite features are the quietness and the smoothness of the ride - unbelievable.
After my test drive I was sold. I have looked at numerous models for Mazda, VW, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Hyundai and Ford - the Camry has the smoothest and quietest ride. I have 1,000 miles on the car and I love it.
Pure city driving is 21-24 mpg and highway is 34 mpg or better.

Bought new 2012 LE model at the end of May.
This is a really good car and it seems that the interior design is a huge improvement over the older 2011 & prior models (which I tset drove).
I got silver with ash (grey) interior.
Bluetooth was standard.
Even the cupholders and radio knobs are better !
The ride is extremely smooth, steady, and comfortable.
I compared to the Hyundi Sonata which I think is the closet competitor.
Camry won out on price, and (in my mind) has a better track-record on reliability.
Gas mileage is an improvement too ... almost totally around town/city I'm getting 26-27 MPG.

Ive only had it for three weeks but mileage has amazed me.
There is a calculator in the trip meter that told me I averaged 24.2 but actual MPG came out to 25.8 all city.
WIsh vehicle had a little more ground clearance and some of its plastic panels were a little more sustantial.
Car has a fragile feel to it.
Comfort, quiet, mileage and handling are very nice.
Looked at the Sonata but Crest Hyundai scared me away with the paint, fabric and all the other add ons they wanted on top of the car price that you are always advised to stay away from.
Toyota can thank Hyundai for me buying a Camry.

I just traded in a 2008 Corolla S on a 2012 Se Camry. I did not go to purchase a Camry, I was looking for another Corolla S. When I got to the dealer there were no Corolla S's to be found. So I looked at the row of Camry's and was very surprized to find out they were having a end of the month May sale. Low & behold the prices of the SE Camry's were not all that much more than the Corollas. After a test drive I was blown away at the ride, room, comfort, electronics and the 10 air bags that came with this car. I was even more impressed of the quiet ride and smooth shifting of the 6 speed tranny.

Have 4000 miles on the car. In general its a good car to drive. On the highway the car handles well.
I have always bought Toyotas for quiet rides but this car has a higher level of road noise than I expected on the highway. Good mileage but difficult to get
rated 35 gpm at 70 mph. Car came with Low Rolling Resistance, LRR, tires with a wear rating of only 260. I probably wont get 30000 miles on a set of tires. Entune display system monitors tire pressure on all four tires. The only problem it doesnt show the location of the tire whose pressure is low. Only that one is low. You have to check each tire using tire gauge to find the low tire if not visibly low.
