Death of the American Sedan

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

I was a loyal Ford/Mercury sedan buyer, until I walked into the Toyota dealership. I've always heard about the quality of the Camrys, but once I test drove the car, I was hooked. The ride far surpassed anything I had been previously driving. Surprisingly, the 4-cylinder engine is peppy and I don't miss the 6-cylinder Sable that I had. The fit and finish is also exceptional. I'd like to believe that American sedans will improve to the level of Toyota and Honda, but after driving my new Camry, it seems like the U.S. is light years behind. The new styling is great as well and you sit higher, with a more commanding view of the road. A great car for a reasonable price, well worth the investment.
What is there to say?

I mean it's a Toyota. The car seems good on gas mileage and the steering assistance is really good. The brakes seem very mushy and numb. The ride seem so stiff, especially on Michigan roads. My '89 Cadillac rides a lot better. I will probaby end up selling it and buy a GM car.

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

I bought the car for one reason, dependability. I previously owned a Camry for 7 years and the car never gave me a lick of problems. I passed it on to my son who is still driving the car and loving the gas mileage. The 2005 model is loaded with safety features that I hope I never have to use or rely on but its good to know they are there. I bought the 4 cyl xle model and the power is adequate for almost any situation. The ride is very comfortable and smooth. What can I say, I am biased in my opinion about this car however I will tell you this, the Toyota Camry earned it.
10 Years later and still looking and running great

2005 Toyota Camry XLE V6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

This is my 4th Camry and I've NEVER bought one new, EVER. I buy them certified used with around 30,000 miles and then drive them for no less than 5 years. The 2005 however, has been with me the longest, almost 11 years and it still looks and runs great. I'm estimating I'll get a another decent 3 to 4 years out it of so I've gone ahead and replaced the timing chain and water pump just to be on the safe side. Other than breaks and tires and some routine maintenance it hasn't needed anything major repair-wise. I LOVE this body style and not big on the new styles but eventually I'm almost certain, I'll be headed for my 5th Camry.

Exceptional response both in engine and handling categories. Very good ridability and comfort. Gas mileage not quite what was expected but all other aspects of the car more than make up for this. Workmanship is top-notch in all areas.
