  • just a nice car - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    The car was affordable and very comfy. It has plenty room for our 4 person family.

  • Great Car - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I have owned many cars over the years so I speak from experience. The Toyota is one of the best driving cars I have ever owned. The outside appearence is no show stopper, but the inside is very nice and it drives like a luxury car. I have a Corvette convertible, but like driving my Toyota better.

  • Disappointed in shift - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Car is OK but the transmission shift problem drive me nuts. Dealer says its normal, I just dont buy it. This is the only car that I have ever owned that has had a problem like this and it is my first foreign car. I have had cars since 1969 and never had a transmission shift like this. I have driven rental unit Camrys that were great. Why my car and why will the dealer not fix it?

  • Cant Miss - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Ive owned two Camrys and this 2005 has been great to me as was my 1995 model. I have had it seven years and really havent had any problems with it. Standard maintenance etc. I currently have a little over 101K miles on it and Im sure I could drive it another 7 years if I choose to. It has always gotten good gas mileage for its size vehicle and is a 4 cylinder. The pick up has always been good and a nice comfortable drive. Amazing space in the trunk. As a musician I haul around a PA systems and guitars and such. I always seem to be able to fit what I need. All around it has been a great vehicle.

    This is a 4th Camry that I owned. My father still drives my first Camry (160,000 miles on odometer). The handling and reliability of the SE impressed me from the first time a test drove the vehicle. The comfort and the feel of a sports car in a 4 door family sedan. I test drove BMW, SAAB and several other sedans. For the money - cant beat the Camry.

  • AVERAGE TOYOTA - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Overall solid quality sedan. Nice exterior lines in black. Interior is typicial Toyota bland. 4 cyl is adequate for uses. Fully loaded with 5 people is definitely noticable. Automatic transmission shifts well and is smooth. Paint finish is easily scratched. A few more applications of clear coat would have done wonders. Bought the car mainly on reputation and previous experience with Toyota truck line.

  • So far, so good - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I have had my Camry SE (4 cyl.) for almost two years, and have put a lot of miles on it. Absolutely no problems with it. I had always known the Toyota Camry to be a very dependable car. I had always thought it to be an ordinary, "family"-looking sedan though. When I saw the 2005 though my opinion changed. It seemed to have a sleeker presence to it. Since adding my new surfboard rack and front-end bra to the car, I have friends commenting on how sporty it looks. Have to admit, the new 2007 Camry is an awesome, very stylish car. I will likely make that my next car. Until then though, very happy with the 2005. Im sold on Toyota. The car, the dealer, the company, the service.

  • Good handling auto - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I had 4 Mercury Sables (I lease autos for 3 years) and when I heard that Ford/Mercury wasnt making them anymore I leased the Camry and immediately liked its handling, performance and comfortability. The car is very quiet and you cant even hear the motor go on when you start it. Hopefully my satisfaction will continue. If not, youll hear from me. Good luck to all that are also getting one.

  • Love my car - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Love the color sand mica, drives very nice, turns around on a dime. Seats are very comfortable, and really like the heated seat feature. I didnt care about getting the sun roof but now I like it. Hope this one lasts me a long time, thats why I bought a Toyota.

  • Solid, Dependable Car - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I recently purchased a 2005 Toyota Camry for traveling purposes. It has 71k miles and the car has been wonderful so far. It has a nice comfortable ride, and the car is also stylish. I love the steering wheel audio controls, and the spoiler on mine. The 2010 model is even more beautiful. Not too many passenger cars can compare with the Camry.
