Used 2012 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
2012 Toyota Camry Highway Perfection
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!

2012 LE Camry
Bought it about 1 month ago...fun to drive, the handling is great...the gas milage is great (29.8) in town and hyway...the lumber automatic seats for the driver is fantastic and not usually found on this priced car..the car is very fast (4 cyl) and responsive and I love the bluetooth and steering wheel controled radio...Things that need improvement 1) door unlock button is small and in an ackward place. 2) the truck lid will come down and hit you in the head if your not careful. 3. the ac and heat controls need improvement.. I love to drive this car and traded in my caddy...it does not have the ride of the caddy but the gas milage more than makes up for it..
It’s a winner
Bought new in October 2011. I drove it the first several years, then oldest daughter drove it for a few years, the second daughter drove it for a few years. Handing down to daughter #3 soon. 8 trouble-free years and 125000 miles so far. No problems (outside of minor fender benders). Routine maintenance - oil changes, air filters, tires, brakes. February 2020 update - still going strong, no problems whatsoever. Daughters have gone off to college, and now my wife drives it. (After a thorough interior cleaning and detailing) August 2022 update - still running strong.
