2011 Toyota Camry Le: The Toyota Camry is roomy, comfortable, loads an effective V-6 as well as a silky smooth transmission.

Where does that leave the Camry? It's a great choice for commuters or any individual else looking for a positive trip they do not need to believe excessive regarding. It's not awesome, however it's as strong a car as you could get. And also people keep buying it, time after time.

Efficiency

Customers are progressively shifting to four-cylinder engines in their midsize sedans, as well as the Camry's held up well in a current Cars.com Shootout. It's competent and also shifts well.

While the optional 18-inch sport-oriented wheels harshened its vaunted ride a little bit, the Camry's travelling comfort is well-established. The guiding isn't crisp, and also handling is sub-par, but if you're going from factor A to point B and prefer to pay more attention to NPR than the contours in the roadway, this is a great choice.

The optional 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 that powered my recent tester verified to be exceptionally fast, which was the most unusual aspect of the Camry on the road.

While I can warrant the tradeoff in dealing with skill for comfort, I can not follow the Toyota's poor brakes. It's native to the island in the brand name: You have to press also far down to obtain the response you want. Slack steering is one point, but coming to a stop is as crucial a chauffeur input as there is.

Honda's brakes can be extremely hoggish, however Ford, Hyundai and Kia versions react with the common feedback drivers should expect.

Because the Camry is an aging platform, the firm hasn't already attended to gas mileage in some time, so it disappoints many rivals. At 20/29 mpg city/highway, 23 mpg incorporated, the V-6 is slightly behind the Accord's 24 mpg incorporated however ahead of the Ford Combination's V-6, at 21 mpg integrated. The real astonishment is the brand-new Hyundai Sonata Turbo; as opposed to a V-6, it supplies a turbocharged four-cylinder that has more power compared to the Camry V-6 as well as mileage that bests even the Camry's four-cylinder power plant: 22/33 mpg city/highway, 26 mpg integrated.

Toyota sells a Camry Crossbreed that's much more costly yet returns mileage of 31/35 mpg city/highway, 33 mpg integrated. Yet-- you guessed it: The Sonata has a hybrid version, too, and also it outdoes the Camry handily, with gas mileage of 35/40 mpg city/highway, 37 mpg incorporated.

Inside

As the Camry platform ages, the inside has stood up quite well against the competition. Plastics are top quality, even measured against the Sonata. I suched as the dashboard's basic, rather elegant design, with a glowing centerpiece around the radio controls.

The front seats are unbelievably wide-- the best I could recall in an automobile this size. Dressed up in leather that my tester had, they are likewise unbelievably comfortable, also on long drives. The rear seat has a lot of area for adult passengers and also child-safety seats.

The trunk is additionally on the huge side, at 14.5 cubic feet. It features an incredibly broad opening, so it's simple to get cumbersome things inside.

Functions & Pricing

A big concern for any car consumer today is fundamental rate. As reasonable maybe, the Camry does have a cost premium. When taking a look at comparable Sonata trims, the Camry is constantly more pricey, by a margin of $500-$ 2,000. At base degrees, the Sonata comes much better complete than the Camry, packing typical Bluetooth as well as USB inputs.

If the Camry were vastly exceptional in all other aspects, possibly it would certainly be worth its higher rate. However that's not the situation; Hyundai has a much better guarantee, which brand name's dependability is also enhancing, even if it cannot flaunt Toyota's lengthy performance history.

Security

Utilizing the federal government's new five-star score system for collision examinations, the Camry earned four stars overall yet only after making changes in the production of the new version. 2011 model year Camry cars made after November 22, 2010, are those that make the greater, four-star score. You can check an automobile's build day on a tag attached to the driver-side doorjamb.

The Camry gained the leading score, Excellent, in the Insurance Coverage Institute for Freeway Safety's frontal and also side accident examinations, in addition to the roof-strength examination, but took care of just a Limited rating in back accidents, stopping it from gaining a Top Security Choose classification.

This is another location where the Hyundai wins out. The Sonata is just one of simply a few lorries on the market to have a federal government first-class safety and security ranking and also to be an IIHS Top Security Select.

Camry on the market

For many years, the Toyota Camry has been the champion on the market when it comes to sales. Even after remarkable recalls in the past 2 years, the car still covers sales graphes.

All those devoted buyers should appreciate comfort and calmness over all else, because the Camry is targeted by every new sedan to strike the market, and also generally it's held its own.

That car shootout of ours I pointed out earlier? The Camry ended up a very reputable second location against seven of those newbies. It was bested just by the Hyundai Sonata.
