Best family sedan on the market

I owned 2001 and 2007 camry before. Both cars were more than nice to me. Every time looking for new car I test drove almost every car in 4 door family segment and camry won my money twice and I never regretted. These days camry competitors looked more than capable and some of them were positioned even higher than camry on my next car list. I owned 2001 and 2007 camry before.

These days camry competitors looked more than capable and some of them were positioned even higher than camry on my next car list. Well, test drive of 2012 Accord, Altima, Sonata and new Optima-the #1 car on my list, proved me wrong. Out of them all I would buy Accord, but ride quality is way below even my old 2001 camry. Noisy power train and a lot of road noise. Interior is nice but falls behind camry as well. Rest of the competitors even more behind new camry. 2012 Camry miles ahead of other cars in class by ride comfort, interior fit and finish and quality. Acceleration is very smooth but quick, quiet and immediate from any RPM. Brakes are he the best in class too. It looks bit smaller than Gen 6 camry, Accord and Optima, but interior is roomy and seating very comfortable. Trunk even bigger than before. Controls are easy, nicely tuned and placed. And suspension just amazing. My 2.5 LE doing extra 4-5MPG vs my 2007 Camry and 2012 camry more powerful and drives better than old one. Considering tons of safety futures, MPG, comfort, interior and price I don?t see better family car on the market.

Camry #3

I went with the base Camry L because it had fewer distractions. It has the same exterior mechanics and safety features as the others. The radio and Bluetooth are very nice, and easy to use. The seat is manual and adjusts easily. Opening doors is with a key, but there are power windows. The ride is quiet and refined. My 2004 Camry has not had a single repair needed - only routine maintenance; I am hoping for the same.

Yay for the New Camry!

I love my new 2012 Camy. The styling is fresh, classic and sporty at the same time. I have the SE model (silver) which comes standard w/ a touchscreen audio system, bluetooth and all controllable from steering wheel. I wanted the ENTUNE computer/audio/nav system, but didn't want to spend the extra 1K+ for it. My cell phone & ipod easily are bluetoothed/usb'd respectively for the same features. The car is great on gas mileage 35mi/gal highway 25/city. The power is responsive and shifting is seamless. The seats hug your back and hit all the right spots for a comfortable drive. The drive is "camry-riffic"! Smoooooth! You will not be disappointed! I am a toyotaman4life!

Better than Ever

Having owned many Camry's I recently picked up a new 2012 SE V6. The interior of the vehicle is amazing, the quality is best is class. I love the new Entune multimedia system!

Toyota

The Toyota Camry is a great vehicle. Not only is it a safe car, but rather than 7 air bags it now has 10.
