Toyota Camry

The new Camry offers sleeker styling, but it's the improved fuel economy and handling, plus standard advanced safety systems, that distinguish it among the crowd of mid sized sedans. The Camry has long held the distinction as a competent, well-rounded and pleasant family sedan. However, it gets a bad rap among critics as unexciting.

The car is really smooth and quiet even when you floor it on the highway. Fuel consumption and boot space are not bad as well. I personally think it's quite smart looking as well. The 2.5 L engine is more than sufficient in Singapore and overall it's a good ride.

The cabin look at the Camry is still an elegant and elegant space, with the 2.5Q version using a brown seat design to deliver a classy interior. . Although a young person like me is not very impressive and like the youth like the Mazda 6, but it must be that old car owners will be very "Tolerant" Interior style that Toyota created.

Seat covered seats with front seats and front seats in front of the power adjustment in 10 directions and 8 directions are standard equipment in Camry, in which the highest level version adds memory function two positions. Feeling very comfortable with the spine, back, thighs and hips are lifted a little.

Brand loyalty made my wife decide on this. I would have tried the Accord. The previous model 2006 till 2015, mine was registered in Jan 2007 had virtually the same features but for one major difference.The interior; The. Urgent model's ergonomics is a nightmare. Just take a look at the gauges; Puny, no clarity , almost no contrast. Can you see where the red line starts?Actually this is a non issue for all Camry users since nobody revs past 4k rpm. Why have meters then, don't have them , since no self respecting Camry drivers need them. Ugly! The previous models gauges were , while not the best, fantastic . Nice in fact.

Singaporeans are easily duped by car adverts or reports by the local reviewers(who do not want to antagonize the agents) and buy cars. Much was said by the central display on this car. Probably leftover displays from an iPhone 4 factory. It has useless information and it too small to read at a glance.

I wanted to get a second car for the family and Camry which initially look good is not suitable after some examination.

This mid-size sedan keeps the same look year after year and probably forever. It is very squarish and looks like a tank. It does not have the modern and sleek look. It is very dull to drive.

The good side may also not be too good. There is too much obvious room space inside the car making it looks like an empty shell. The 2.5L car which I have tested has a back seat handle for the old folks. I think this is the only car that we know to have such a design apart from those vans for handicaps and people with disabilities. The worst sight is the very straight down dashboard and the green digital display clock that looks like my grandfathers' calculator. Terrible design.

This car is too high and I think it is the highest car in the market like a lorry. In fact, the older edition seems a lot more like a car compared to this.

Well, there are many other better car than this one currently.

Thanks anyway for the test drive.

Didn't thought much about the Camry when deciding to change our current ride. They did a road show at Vivo and went to see see look look. Didn't choose a Camry for our last 2 cars.

The Camry is a very predictable car. It's like a school children who is not a bad kid, but he is also not particularly bright.

When driving it, it gives a sedated drive. Passenger loves it. Drivers, it ok. The 2.5L gives more than sufficient power for day to day driving.

Test drove this vs the Accord and Teana

the camry outshines it's competition in almost every category.

Spacewise, the cabin is large and airy and comfortable. Neck and neck with Teana. But definitely better than the Accord.

Drive wise, its more of a driver's car than the previous camry. With stiffer suspension giving it more character but perhaps a bit lacking comfort wise compared to Teana

Went down to test drive the new Camry 2.5L yesterday, was overall really pleased with the experience.

The new camry drives really well, engine is powerful and smooth, never feel lacking in power. The ride is also really comfortable, smooths over any bumps in the road. Sitting in the car is very comfortable, the inside feels extremely composed and well done. Yes there are still lots of plastic bits but its not a BMW or Audi, nor does it claim to be, so that's fine by me. No real complains on the interior styling. I actually really like the electronic dash, looks very cool and race car-ish.

The new camry sports a new facelift, and whilst it definitely looks more sporty and cool, similar to its more expensive lexus counterparts, personally i find the huge front grill a little bit excessive. But that's just me, i prefer my car a little more understated.

its a car that i will quite seriously consider, hopefully COE will drop some more.

I don't like the way the new Camry looks. Most of the face-liftings are done on the outside, with new front and rear bumpers together with new head and tail lights.

The pre-facelift model has been blamed for its boring "Uncle" Look, with the "Super-big" Chrome grille and a very conventional-looking head lamps. As such, Toyota has replaced the entire front with a new headlamps that comes with LED daytime running lights (finally), but the main beams are still HID instead of LED. The upper grille is now slimmer but the lower grille is being enlarged, so large that it is able to house the number plate and the fog lights. Yea, it may now get the new design concept which was first seen in the Vios and Corolla Altis, but unlike them, the design look rather out of place. Similar case at the back, Toyota "De-chrome" The rear ganish (now body coloured with a very slim chrome bar running across" And the rear bumper and tail lights look like those that come from an aftermarket store.

So, is there still any reason to buy this car? Yes. It may be ugly on the outside, but is a totally different story on the inside. Plenty of headroom and legroom available in the car. The faux wood trims are now darker and classier, unlike the more brownish one in the pre-facelift model. The new model also comes with a new instrumental cluster with a 4.2" TFT color display. The graphics is definitely clearer and nicer to the eyes. The new Toyota InTouch telematic system is also available in the Camry. This infortainment system works like your usual smartphones and tablets whereby you can download your favourite apps from its app store. GPS navigation system, reverse camera, Bluetooth connectivity, air gesture and voice commands - some of the features this system is equipped with.

There is also a new 2.0l engine which is more powerful yet less thirsty. Combining with a new 6-speed gearbox, the century sprint has been significantly reduced by 2 seconds. Toyota has also improved on the suspension to provide an even better comfort and handling.

Ugly on the outside, but refined in the inside. This car will still be my choice of D-segment sedan, due to its interior and engine refinements. Probably, getting a new set of rims and a rear boot lid will improve the way it looks.

The interior and dash seriously needs to improve.. I seriously don't understand why the dash design is so outdated and lifeless.. The buttons, the trim, they felt like a throwback to the 80s.. The ride, however, is really comfy and cruisey.. Pretty much the same 2.5 engine used in the the non-V6 Lexus cars..

When to the show room and test drove the 2.5L version. I would say with the new 6 speed gear box it is much better now. Exterior looks wise with the change of the front grille it does not looks so "Uncle" Now. The rest of the interior is very much the same but the feel is not so "Plasticky" Compared to the last version. Overall feel it looks good and feel good. The 2.5L is pack with a lot of features which is pretty cool. I am monitoring the COE for now and if it drops a bit more, this will definitely be the car that I will get.
