Ron Perry’s Opinion of the 2007 Toyota Camry’s Comfort:
The 2007 Toyota Camry’s driver’s seat is very comfortable but lacks bolstering on the bottom or back cushion. The electric controls on the seats and the tilt wheel allow for multiple position variations so finding a comfortable seating position is easy. There are also seat heaters to add to the comfort on cold mornings. Up front there’s lots of head room and plenty of pedal space for your feet, including a large dead pedal for resting your left foot. The Camry’s ride is a little stiff, which would take its toll on me over the course of a long journey.

In the back, entry space is limited but once inside there is plenty of head, knee and foot room to go around. The large bench seat is comfortable even for the poor guy who draws the short straw and has to sit in the middle. A fold-down center console with sturdy cup holders adds to the comfort as do the two air vents located in the rear of the center console. The Camry also offers a low liftover to the trunk for easy loading.

Thom Blackett’s Opinion of the 2007 Toyota Camry’s Comfort:
Given the 2007 Toyota Camry’s Buick-inspired driving character, it stands to reason that the interior would likewise provide comfort. Our XLE V6 test car featured supple leather on the soft seats, and padded door armrests and window sills, but hard plastic rubs against the driver’s knees in quick corners. Front passengers are treated to wide, spacious buckets that lack decent bolstering (let’s hope the NASCAR Camry drivers get better support) and surround a padded, sliding center armrest. Drivers wrap their hands around a wood-and-leather shift knob and a leather-wrapped steering wheel that tilts and telescopes. Buttons for the radio and air conditioning are on the steering wheel spokes, while the cruise control is on the backside of the wheel. There’s a button forward of the shifter for the heated seats, but they don’t offer multiple heat settings like many competitors. Only the driver’s window and sunroof feature one-touch opening and closing.

Entering the rear of the 2007 Toyota Camry requires sinking down a bit to the bench’s low height, yet once seated occupants enjoy the reclining feature, three large adjustable headrests, a padded fold-down center armrest, and ample foot, leg, and head room. Less pleasant are the hard front seatbacks and exposed lower seat frames – GM started covering up these unsightly bits for the 2007 model year. The center section of the rear bench has a dedicated headrest and is fine for short distances, but it’s flat and uncomfortable, so leave that spot for the passenger you like the least.

Christian Wardlaw’s Opinion of the 2007 Toyota Camry’s Comfort:
Never before have I been comfortable behind a Camry’s steering wheel. Either the seat was too mushy, or there wasn’t enough leg room, or I couldn’t find the right combination of thigh support and wheel adjustment. I’m happy to report that with the redesigned 2007 Toyota Camry, comfort is king – at least up front, and especially in the driver’s seat. I had no trouble at all finding a perfect driving position in our test car, and my comfort was increased thanks to the softly padded center console that slides fore and aft, and the soft material on the upper door panels which makes for a good spot to rest an elbow while cruising down the highway. However, the front passenger’s seat lacks a seat height adjuster. Am I expecting too much in a $31,000 sedan that I find this to be a blatant oversight? I don’t think so.

Strangely, the Camry’s rear seat is less comforting than what I remember of the old model. The bottom cushion seems lower to the ground, with less thigh support and tighter leg space. It’s not cramped at all, just less accommodating than before. Loading cargo requires lifting items over a somewhat high bumper and trunk sill into a large luggage area. Toyota has chosen a rather inexpensive lining for the trunk, and the gooseneck hinges, though small, could still damage contents if the compartment is packed full. Also, note that the Camry does not offer a trunk close assist handle on the inside of the lid. Am I expecting too much in a $31,000 sedan that I find this to be a blatant oversight? I don’t think so.
