Snackable Review: Toyota Camry

PLUS

• The Toyota Camry is not short on space. In most guises, it can comfortably fit three adults in the back seat.
• For city driving, the hybrid engine records good figures in the fuel efficiency stakes and is available in all models (except the sporty Atara SX) (Cost an extra $3000-4000 for hybrid engines).
• For those looking at regular long drives, the petrol engine is the better option.
• Parking sensors and Toyota’s satellite communication system, ToyotaLink, is available in all models (except the base Altise).
• There’s plenty of value in the Toyota Camry. It’s quite a bit cheaper than predecessors ($5000 cheaper) and others in its league, and the price-jumps between the models are more reasonable.
• Given its popularity amongst families and businesses, it’s no surprise Toyota has put an emphasis on the Camry’s safety package.

MINUS

• It has plenty of boot space, but the hybrid models come at a sacrifice of cargo to make room for the batteries (94 litres smaller).
• Camry’s may not be an overly exciting car, even with a new design to the exterior, but then again, its focus is on comfort, and the newest version is no different.
• White is the only standard colour available, so be prepared to spend more for a pick of its other nine colour choices (extra $450).
• The interior of the Camry is nothing special and a little bland.
• The lower profile tyres on the bigger wheels may ride more roughly and cost more to replace.
