2012 Toyota Camry Highway Perfection

2012 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
21 of 22 people found this review helpful
I leased my 2012 Camry because I drive over 20k miles per year all highway. It has the base 4cyl engine and what a sweet thing it is! Easily does 34 MPG on the highway while traveling a brisk 78 to 85 MPH. No weird noises, no hesitations. Transmission and engine are quick to respond and are plenty fast. The driving dynamics on curvy roads is not so good. Car tends to 'push', which is normal for this segment. I didn't buy it to carve beautiful back roads in. I bought is because I'm 6'3" and need something comfortable, reliable and efficient with gas. Job well done... This Camry is perfect at those things. Love the Bluetooth - it's the best system yet. Crystal clear on both ends.
Serendipity to the 4th power-*update

The 2012 LE Camry is my 4th Toyota. I've now had my Camry for little over 2 years, and I love it just as much as I did the day I test drove it! I've taken several trips totaling over 600+miles each time, and I've gotten GREAT gas mileage (35.2), even at 70+ mph and flooring it to pass slower vehicles. The 2.5 4cyl engine is plenty enough to zip out into traffic easily. I never have problems with any of the components in the car, weird noises, idling problems, nothing. A friend of mine recently bought a '13 Mitsubishi Outlander, and while it's nice, it's not the quality of the Toyota. The doors and knobs on the suv sound hollow and cheap. The fabric doesn't seem as good either. Spend the little extra $ and go with quality! ***UPDATE*** Going on 4 years in next couple of months, and is just as great as last post status! traveling a little more for work on highway has really made a difference in mpg, almost at 39 with still a lot of local driving (2-3 miles with stoplights). No sore back on 4hr+ trips to NC either. I've had no trouble with loose or breaking doors, knobs, gas caps, etc.....still in love.... ***UPDATE 6/06/17*** I've owned 4.5 yrs now, and I still love it! Gas mileage is still awesome even though I'm well overdue on oil change. Instruments and interior has held up well to dogs jumping all over it. Carpets are surprisingly easy to clean even with spilled coolers and dog throw-up. I use moisturizing/ cleaning wipes on dash and doors to keep southern sun from drying them out and they look brand new! No weird noises, hesitations with engine, or wheel issues. My '12 Camry is every bit as smooth as the '11 Cadillac I often drive for work and MUCH better on gas! Love my Camry so much I talked neighbor into getting a '16!

Adequate, in the best sense of the word.

The 2012 Camry SE V6 is in a word, adequate. It has adequate acceleration, (Motor trend pegs it at 5.8 seconds from 0-60mph http://tinyurl.com/d8tzp6t) I found that it handles adequately, moderately comfortable and fuel efficient. Once inside, the redesigned interior is simultaneously attractive and soothing. The seat warmers and the white ambient lighting makes one think that they are in a safe, plain, family car. It doesn't fool itself as a sports-sedan, but the power of its engine does make one forget about the allure of a sports car, even for a brief moment.
Great all around car for performance and camry

I purchased the SE V6 after comparison shopping between a 2012 Acura TSX, Hyundai Sonata, and BMW 328i. I choose the Camry since it does everything well, a good value, and is reliable. It's not top of class in any category but overall bang for the buck, the Camry beats all of them. The Camry sport tuned suspension gives the car a sporty ride without being overly harsh like the BMW. The Camry's V6 is awesome. Smooth, powerful, and reliable. The Camry interior looks very upscale. There are some cheap plastic bits but it's 10K cheaper than the TSX. The Camry styling is bland I have to admit but let's see if Sonata's can make it to 150K miles reliability.
It's a good car that will go for the long run

We have had our Camry for 6 months now and can say with certainty it is a very good car. There have been no issues and having 2 kids riding along 70% of time would have brought something out if it existed. The car has good power and commendable handling. It never feels inept or under powered. I have driven several cars with electric steering and this one is well weighted, not great, but good. The car has plenty of room and I like the softtex seat material as a alternative to leather. I really like the fact the car is equipped with Michelin tires which provide a smooth and quiet ride, steer clear of the bridgestones. The radio and steering wheel controls are definitively the best feature.
