Toyota Camry

The 2012 Toyota Camry sedan is a generational redesign that builds on the midsize sedan's historic strengths by complementing its practical nature with an even more modern character and better value at all trim levels.
The addition of lower-rolling-resistance tires to the V6 model helps boost EPA estimates to 20 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
Largely due to its solid reputation for quality and reliability, Toyota's mid-size Camry has been the best-selling car in America for seven of the past eight years. But it has also been less than exciting, so Toyota decided the best way to keep it on top was to broaden the appeal of its all-new 2007 Camry by improving its styling, performance and dynamics. Its curvier, though still conservative design provides more real and perceived room inside, and its steering, braking and handling are improved with a ride tuned toward comfort (although in the sportier SE the tuning is biased more toward crisper handling response). Engine choices are an updated 158-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a new 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6.

"I purchased this vehicle for my wife and had the fun of driving from Barstow, Ca. to Laughlin Nevada for a little Christmas trip and did not expect to be so thrilled with the power curve of the engine or the comfort that was exceptional. The Camry SE is a pure joy to drive. The ride and handling are exceptional and the transmission is very smooth shifting and functional. I am glad this became my choice along with the wife and think we will enjoy many years of driving this vehicle. Might even trade my pick-up for a RAV-4 for myself!"

"this is the first car i have ever bought ive always had trucks. when i was looking at the car at the dealer i wasnt to thrilled on the idea of ownign a car vs. a truck. but once i got in it i was very surprised. i purchased the se model i think its stylish. Could use some minor exterior changes. but the interior is where its at. i was inpressed with the power of the 4 cylinder. i love the gas mileage but then again im comparing a car to a truck. so far i like the car alot i have put on 1,200 miles on it since i bought it."

"I have to agree with a lot of the reviews in which they say the exterior is boring. I have to say Toyota went conservative with the look and was dispointing to see. If they would have put the front end of the Venza it would have been a major improvement. I hope the look grows on me. Overall this car rides better and is quieter than my 07'. Drivetrain is good with very good shifts which are hardly noticable. OK power but nothing ground breaking. Interior is where this car wins out over the competition. The layout and materials are much better as the materials, especially in the dash are top notch. Trunk size is about the same as previous Camry's. The vehicle information center/radio is a huge improvement and something that the previous Camry was lacking. For the price we paid I can not complain as it was a LE with upgrade wheels, carpet mats, tinted windows as options and out the door with all taxes, and fees it was right around $21G / Sticker Price was over $25G. Good time to get a good deal if looking even though it is a new model."
