A Reliable Family Mid-Size Sedan | Posted on 07 Aug 2014 |
|
|
Review
1) The price is between Mazda 6 and Honda Accord. Those who are considering a Jap mid-size sedan, Camry is a typical candidate for this range.
2) Camry is a typical "towkay" car among locals. It is not surprise to see the older folks driving a Camry.
What I like
1) It is a spacious car that can accommodate 5 pax comfortably.
2) The drive is smooth and quiet but do not expect it to give a sporty drive as this is a Camry.
3) Reliable as it bears Toyota badge & the resale value should be okay.
What I do not like
1) The dashboard is quite dated with standard wood trim.
2) It only has 4 airbags as other cars in the same range have more which are definitely better for safety.
3) Some say the design of this current Camry is worse than the previous generation design. The current design make Camry look like a "tank".

What I like
Luxury cabin look
Reverse camera
Paddle shift
FC (quite good for 2.5L)- avg 8.5L/100km
Spacious interior

Camry 2012....To get or not to get ?? | Posted on 27 Sep 2012 |

Review
Went by Borneo sometime back to catch the glimpse of the 2012 Camry, after driving my friend's one (2.4L) which I loved it.
The exterior has been made sportier, more curves, body kit (to me not that necessary), sharper lights too.
In it, its still a typical Toyota, same as previous model, nothing much changed except some touches in audio, buttons, etc...wonder when will they change in the interior ?
The drive was good, I guess only the 2.5L comes with 6-speed box which is pretty smooth. According to sales person, this is a Dual VVT-i which is even more fuel economical than the current VVT-i.
With now in electric steering, the handling has improved and good to have it.
Overall, Camry still captures many Uncles out there but it certainly does capture mine too (am also being called uncle already).
Finally, be it a 2012 or earlier Camry is ok to get but get the bigger one than the 2.0L as more features and have a 6-speed box. Definately worth it if you look at fuel economy and good drive.
What I like
Good drive and handling with electric steering
Good head and leg room
6-speed box (only in 2.5L)
Wider body
What I do not like
Too many plastic feel in the interior
No electric tailgate still
Both Auto headlights and rain sensors only available in 2.5L
2.0L only have 4-speed box
No change in interior
No sun or moon roof
Cannot change interior color or toning

Review
Went on monday afternoon, showroom is free, thou can test drive new camry 2.5l.
Haven't test drive but just seat inside & get the feel 1st, immediately disappointed.
Even wife also dnt like the plastic feel, my 06 camry got better quality build than this, the dashboard got pvc wrap over it but can feel hard plastic inside (my at least is hard rubber), below dashboard all plastic (omg look so cheap car), door panel all plastic (cheap feeling), seat is more body hugging (old model better, people drive camry is looking for comfort & not for racing & cornering). The center console also cheap feeling (only 1 compartment, mine got 2).
The back center seat head rest is non adjustable (last 2 models all can adjustment)
The front grill is real disappointed (very thin plastic, my at least more thicker plastic feel).. Hopefully the next facelift toyota can make camry more luxury feel inside & outside, if still same feel than a lot will go for their rival (nissan altima 2013)
Btw i didn't bother to ask for test drive car after getting all the cheap feeling from it..
What I like
More curb line on the body
No key hole on boot (2.5L model)
More leg room for the rear
What I do not like
Plastic feel on grill
Plastic dashboard
Plastic dashboard below
Plastic door panel
Plastic center console
Only 1 console compartment
Back center seat head rest no adjustable

excellent functional car though not so exciting.
What I like

excellent boot and rear space
comfortable ride
What I do not like
nothing to shout about on exterior
drive comfortable without being exciting
interior a bit dated
