  Cant Miss - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By drivingforward - September 11 - 1:43 pm

  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.

  AVERAGE TOYOTA - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By DYLANDAWG - August 15 - 3:06 pm

  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.

  Solid, Dependable Car - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Phil - June 29 - 10:30 am

  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.

  TOO ROUGH - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Holden - June 15 - 9:06 pm

  For a front wheel drive car the handling is great and the 4 is peppy, quiet and very fuel efficient even with the old 4 speeed auto. BUT - I have driven all kinds of handling tuned cars in my life both personally owned and in my career in law enforcement and I can say without hesitation that the SE rides entirely too rough for its level of handling.The firm seats offer no help either. It is as bad as my Jeep and will soon lead to a trade as my wife is sick of it. Maybe a new V6 LE if the ride is better. If not, an Avalon. I can give up some handling to save my back.

  Best of Breed - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Rick - February 12 - 2:26 pm

  Fit and finish sold us on the Camry. It is a very "classy" ride and best of all. It handles nicely in traffic and will "scoot" on the highway. Nice "gizmos & gadgets" without getting tacky.

  What is there to say? - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Bob - December 22 - 12:10 pm

  I mean its a Toyota. The car seems good on gas mileage and the steering assistance is really good. The brakes seem very mushy and numb. The ride seem so stiff, especially on Michigan roads. My 89 Cadillac rides a lot better. I will probaby end up selling it and buy a GM car.

  Quantum Leap - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By SoGood - April 15 - 11:36 am

  From a 1997 Ford Taurus to a 2005 Camry. Well what can I say. We are not looking back. Just a rock solid car with a well thought out design. Matches or beats all the big three and has great resale value.

  2005 Camry XLE V6 - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By BigJon - April 10 - 3:36 pm

  Overall this is a great car. Its comfortable to drive and gets good mpg for a V6. Transmission downshifts somewhat harsh at lower speeds. No repairs in over 2 years. Wish I could have waited for a 2006.

  Its the Little things! - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By anteatersgirl - March 24 - 12:10 pm

  40K miles, 4years old... Rear Speakers cracked and fell apart, into the speaker last year. Really hard to clean out, radio buzzes when bass plays. Toyota doesnt replace part. Bad design! Had to buy new covers. Door remote no longer works. Can only get into the car by driver side. Very hard with 2 young children in car seats. $800-$1000 to replace at Toyota Dealer. Safety hazard that should be covered by the company...its not. Other than those issues I like the car very much. Its the little annoying things that just add up.

  Shocking Experience - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Raymond - February 19 - 12:50 am

  Purchased the car on a Monday; found over 20 significant/serious defects such as front end misalignment, severe vibration, chipped paint, misaligned doors and many others. Dealership manager graciously exchanged the vehicle the following week. Second car is a lot better; smooth like a Toyota should be.Still has a poor paint job, misaligned doors and an annoying rear suspension "clunk". Fuel economy is 32 highway. Quality is a lot lower than my old 98 Accord, but acceptable. The engineers did an excellent job with the design but the factory floor (made in US) rendition of the design is deplorable.Options are over priced.
