The ride is extremly smooth on highways and secondary roads. On snow, icy roads the car handled very well. The skid and traction control gave an additional feeling of security. The climate control works very well. The side vents are always on. There is plenty of room for my family of 4 adults. I wanted the six cylinder because of vacation travel including a lot of highway driving. So far I am getting 25 mpg with about 2000 miles on the car on regular gas.Pros: Toyotas reputation for qaulity cars.
Cons: Radio volume control a little hard for us with larger fingers.
Advice: Drive and compare, it does all the speaking for itself.
The new styling originally won us over. When we test drove it, I was impressed with the power from the four cylinder. The standard equipment was impressive also. When the salesman explained all the safety features on this car we were sold. Hardest part was picking the color (Black walnut pearl).Pros: I love the GPS Navigation and heated seats.
Cons: No multi-disc CD changer.
Advice: Buy it
My Wife and I recently bought a 2002 XLE V6 with all the bells and whistles, it's like being a kid in a candy store! The car is exceptionally quiet and very very comfortable! I recently had a 6'+ passenger in the back seat and he commented on the leg room and comfort. Plenty of power too! If I could only pry the steering wheel from her hands long enough so I could drive it!Pros: The car feels 'solid'.
Cons: The grinding sound with wheels spinning on snowpacked roads.
Advice: Test drive this car on a rural road covered with snow and black ice.
On dry pavement our Camry V6SE is great.Since it snowed here two days ago, driving is rated 'poor' because even with 'traction control',we can't get this car up the driveway. Perhaps I need to sand the driveway and put on snow tires. I didn't bargain on this kind of problem. I have another car, an '87 Dodge Colt. It got up the driveway with no problem. What gives?? Disappointed in Millbury,Mass.Pros: Quality
Cons: What's not to like?
Advice: Drive others first; then you will love this even more
Quiet (not only is the engine quiet but there is a lack of wind or road noise), very comfortable driver seat, roomy interior and trunk , excellent ride, excellent sound system, great ergonomics, great gas mileage. I am talking about the 4 cylinder LE model which I bought. 157 horsepower gives adequate acceleration unless you are the race driver type. They also offer a 6 cylinder if you are so inclined.Pros: THE SMOVE RIDE
Cons: LOVE EVERYTHING
Advice: GET THIS CAR BUT JUST DON'T GET IT IN BLUE BECAUSE THAT IS MY COLOR
IT IS NOT VERY FAST BUT THAT IS NOT THE WHAT THE CAMARY IS MADE FOR GO GET A PORSCHE IF YOU WANT A FAST CAR. THE INSIDE IS VERY BIG. THE SOUND SYSTEM IS GREAT. I LOVE THE RIDE. THE GAS MILEAGE IS GREAT.
