We’ve bought 4 Toyota Camry (1st Generation 1984, 2003 V6, and 2 2005 LE 4 cylinder and they are extremely good cars even better than my BMW 5 series in terms of reliability and longevity. However my wife loves her Avalon XLE Limited Edition better than any sedan we have. The nice thing about TOYOTA is that they can last a few hundred thousands miles without major repair and parts and service aren’t cheap but still cheaper than all other brands.

[@beeryweery]

Do I like something "simple"? I like something that doesn't go wrong!

[@M.Captain]

I think you’re a little biased here. You tend to compare it to the more premium cars in the same segment, like BMW 5-series, but the reality of it is that the equipment that you get for similar money, is similar. Want a fully speced car, that has a tiny winny more equipment than the Camry from another manufacturer? Good luck spending 10K+ more on the other one, money that I could spend in getting a second city car. I’m really interested in what cars do you think are better than the Camry in this class and for this money.

[@MarekDrives]

Actually I compared it to Passat, 508 and Mondeo. There is no mention of BMW. It is reasonable priced, but outdated on arrival. More so than the current Mondeo.

[@reinulf656]

In my experience it's far more satisfying to own a smaller car that makes you happy than a bigger one that is bland and no joy and with far inferior infotainment system and usability. For example, I would prefer a Polo to a Megane. Same would be true for this car.. I'd go with a smaller one that I enjoy.

[@jonathanmellish4439]

50 mpg is what we get in our Rav hybrid. Its not spectacular but then its a big car with a 2.5 litre engine. The handling is quite poor. I would consider this over a Corolla as it is much larger in the back.

[@CArwilk]

Just test-drove one (coming from a Passat B8), wasn't overly impressed. Surprisingly noisy at speed (90-120 kph), somewhat harsh ride, weird gearbox, steering okay-ish. Seats were quite nice. Economy and longevity are highlights of this car, but noise and ride quality lets it down. I would only consider this car for its longevity.

[@MarekDrives]

Totally agree

[@MarekDrives]

Not a door panel rattle, but a sound clipping on the mic. As for (map) pockets, or whatever they are called, I actually never used them. You know, GPS :)

[@Neatspejamasis]

@@MarekDrives Thanks for explanation :) I found usefull these pockets to put various brochures or USB cables or other slim stuff:)

[@AndrejGobec]

I'm glad Toyota offers so much of it's safety systems as standard. Didn't know they were so crap though ... I've driven the Corolla and Rav4, but didn't have enough time to thoroughly test that ... too bad. At this point I'd rather buy a used Passat than a new Toyota. One saving grace are the amazing hybrids. Really smooth and frugal! Don't mind the CVT either - even though motor journalists always have a hissy fit about it ..-.

[@MarekDrives]

CVTs have gone a long way in the last few years. 10 years ago they were whining constantly, now unless you're really pushing it, you can't tell it's a CVT.

congrats on the weightloss :). regarding the camry - it's an american model brought to the european market. it's just too big, the hybrid drivetrain is just too slow, perhaps it will work as a taxi. the lexus es, will never replace the GS 450h.

[@bogdanmongol9518]

The new hybrid powertrain with 2.5 dynamic force is faster then 5 series with 2 diesel 190 hp and A6, also 2 diesel 190 hp. But maybe you need a RS, M, something. For normal people, is more then enough. Is a 5 metres saloon, not a sports car.

[@alliejr]

Good review. Fascinating to see spec differences in Poland (and all of Europe?) versus the US. Interesting that you find the driver aides to be primitive. In the US, Toyota was the leader in this regard and the first to offer widely and standard. Having driven Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Korean and Porsche examples, I cannot say that Porsche is better. Also, my recent Macan folding mirrors did NOT work with ignition off, so not sure Toyota is only offender.

[@MarekDrives]

Offering something as standard doesn't make it good. In Europe car manufacturers are forced to offer many safety systems. Some make the effort and offer something useful, others offer less developed systems. Japanese car manufacturers are usually in the latter group. As for the folding mirrors, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I realise the button to fold the mirrors usually doesn't work, when the ignition is off. Unless it is paired with the door lock. In Toyota it is not paired with the door lock, so what should have been a simple press of a button turned out to be going back to the car, turning it on, pressing the button, turning the car off, getting out, and locking it. Again, no biggie, unless you're parking at the airport, and you are in no mood to fuss about.

[@nidjo057]

@@MarekDrives as far as folding mirrors are concern , toyota updated that. So If you order Camry now, you get folding mirrors. And what is the difference between LTA in Corolla(camry does not have lane trace) and german rivals?

[@MarekDrives]

It's how natural VW or Volvo systems feel vs. Toyota. Kind of like wearing comfortable shoes vs. just any shoes. Or using a modern tennis racket vs. an older one.

[@dimekoza]

43.000 euro in Poland? Why so much? In Macedonia the Camry starts at 30.000 and ends at 36.000 euro for the top spec with the executive package (rear seat adjustments). I love the Camry it's a descent car, it's original (in Europe at least), the performance is ok (really annoyed by the 180 km/h top speed limit), the fuel economy is top notch for the size and power of the car, and it will be stupid reliable (unlike the Passat for example). I would buy this if I could afford it.

[@eamonnmcdermott1939]

Why would you choose a VW Passat where you have to pay extra for EVERYTHING compared to this car. I'd respect VW if they could make a reliable car but they will never touch Toyota for reliability which is why I would choose this car as my number 1!

[@MarekDrives]

Depends what you expect from a car. In low to mid trim this is more than good enough. If you want to make the car yours, and feel good in it, the Camry won't cut it IMO.

[@shroomyesc]

What I see many people defending the camry on is the long term reliability, but the truth is that the person buying a brand new car doesn't really care, because they won't own the car long enough to care. But I can see this doing very well with the elderly crowd, as the new Corolla already is a hit among them.

*For British **_potential buyers_** 5½ Litres per 100 KM = 49.58 mpg - Not exactly great when my ICE (Mercedes B200 CDi Sport AMG Line) can easily achieve 60 mpg+ and on a long run with careful driving best 74.3 MPG and is considerably cheaper initially with high retention values.

For this size of a car 50mpg is quite OK. A few months ago I did the same motorway trip in the new B200d and the new Corolla 2.0 Hybrid, and the B-Class was more economical at higher speed. I'll have to see how a 2-litre C (or better E-Class) would perform on the same route.
