    Well built and fun to drive. Fits 3 car seats accross the back seat. A great alternative to the minivan. Large truck fits toys and strollers with room for grocerys. We love it and would buy again.

  • LOVE IT - 2005 Toyota Camry

    We havent owned a Toyota since our 1977 FJ40 purchase, one of the best vehicles we ever owned( we still have it). After the research we chose the 2005 Camry LE & have enjoyed it very much. The only problem is the speedometer is about 4 MPH off,it is 3 MPH off at lower speeds & escalates the faster you drive to as much as +5 MPH at 75 MPH. Toyota will not fix it because it is still within their specs. We feel that this is unacceptable & are trying to resolve it at this time. It doesnt look good for us at this time. Next time we buy we will take the GPS unit with us & check the speedometer before we buy.

    I traded my Grand Am for a Camry. That was the best decision I ever made. There is more room, comfort, and better gas mileage. The body style is wonderful...simple yet elegant.

  • Solid Vehicle - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Bought this vehicle new. Has easily been the most reliable vehicle Ive ever owned with no dealer visits at all. At 73K miles (averaging 19K/year) all I have needed to do is change the tires once and oil regularly. Extremely unexpectedly, havent even changed the brakes (although Im close, measured depth was around 55-60% remaining as of a month ago). I log every gallon of gas by the current mileage. On full synthetic oil Im getting 27 daily to/from work ("leadfooted" - not granny drivin on V4) but only 33 on pure Hwy at 80mph. Had exactly one defect - manufacturing defect for rear speaker covers - they crumbled after about 3 years.

  • Best car for the money - 2005 Toyota Camry

    This car is fantastic.The car gives a beautiful ride & is extremely comfortable. It is very quiet & feels like its built solid. Comes with with plenty of standard features like AC, push button windows, remote mirrors & electric door locks. Also comes standard with cruise control & AM/FM cassette, CD stereo. I have the 4 cylinder & its more than enough for me. I added the ABS brakes which also includes the electric drivers seat.

  • Gets the Job Done Right - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Even after driving v6 camrys, Im sold on the I4 engine. Although not as much throttle as the v6, it does give enough acceleration for hwy merging and driving up on the SoCal hills, credit the 5 speed auto and torque. Plus its easy on the petrol. One thing to get used to though is the car is sensitive to driver demand; when passing, only have to press the pedal slightly to invoke a downshift for more passing power. Some harder and engine is running 4k+ rpm. Since the engine bay is dampened, there isnt much audible feedback as to engine speed, but its a trade-off for a quiet cabin. Other than that, interior controls are top notch, lots of storage cubbies, and comfy seats. Bright headlights.

  • Aproaching perfection - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Driving the Toyota Camry LE is a memorable experience. The power seat is exceptionally comfortable. As a senior citizen I find the instrument lighting to be near perfection. It is clean and simple and very easy for tired eyes to read day or night. I find that I dont need to wear my glasses to see the instruments. The transmission shifts so smoothly that it is dificult to tell when it actually shifts in normal conditions. Placement of controls is near perfect for me. Rearward visability is somewhat restricted compared to other vehicles that I have owned due primarily to the wide pillars in the rear.

  • Best car - 2005 Toyota Camry

    This car is the best for the money, hands down. Good fuel mileage, fun to drive and a whole lot more horse power than all the domestic cars in the same class.

  • Nice car - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This is a great car. My fourth Toyota and going strong. I love the V6 power. The V4 is fine but Ive graduated with this Camry and I dont think Ill ever look back at the V4 again. It also handles extremely smooth with an improved turning ratio. Trunk space looks a little smaller than the 2001 model which was my first Camry. Overall one of the best cars on the market for the price.
