A Great Car for the Money ! - 2005 Toyota Camry
By GHMERRY - November 12 - 3:56 pmI finally got rid of my gas-guzzler SUV and bought a Toyota XLE with V6. The sticker said it would get 28 MPG. Being somewhat skeptical, I took it on a 1000 mile trip just after I purchased it. Guess what, it got 28 MPG on the nose! The V6 has plenty of power when needed, it is very comfortable and quiet. I am pleased with the ride for a small sedan and the quality of workmanship is terriffic !

Great... again! - 2005 Toyota Camry
By Our 5th Camry - October 25 - 12:30 pmThis is our 5th Camry. Our first Camry was an 89. Its still in the family as I gave it to my 72 yo Mom about 8 years ago. We had 2 - 94s (mine and my wifes). We replaced my 94 with the 02 Camry 3 years ago (running great), and just 3 months ago we replace my wifes 94 with the 05 Camry. Having driven my 02 Camry for 3 years, I was surprised by the even smoother ride of the 05 Camry. ABS brakes are now standard & we opted for the side-impact-air-bag option so we feel safer.

Review of new Camry purchase (2005) - 2005 Toyota Camry
By FirstTimeCamryBuyer - September 30 - 5:36 pmThis purchase represents my first Camry and I have been very pleased with my purchase. I bought the 4 cyl. as opposed to the 6 and have been very pleased with the mileage. So far, in mixed driving, with the majority being highway miles, Ive gotten just over 32 mpg. The car is very quiet on the road. The fit and finish of all the surfaces, materials, and seams are very well done. The interior, with leather, is quite nice. I purchased the car for $24,042, after taxes, tags, etc., which was quite good considering the many features - leather, moon-roof, 6 disc changer, alloy wheels, side impact / curtain airbages, etc. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

my first Toyota - 2005 Toyota Camry
By slowe - September 1 - 8:36 pmAfter doing lots of research before my purchase, I couldnt be happier. My Camry gives me the comfort, luxury features and reliability that I was looking for. Great resale value, too, although I plan to keep this car for a good long time.

Why spend extra for a Lexus??? - 2005 Toyota Camry
By maxgxe - August 22 - 11:46 amWe checked out the 2005 Honda Accord first, but the dealer wanted us to pay list price and offered us very little on our trade-in. We were able to buy the Camry LE at invoice price, and received a much better deal on the trade-in. It is now 3 months and 3000 miles later, and we have no complaints with the Camry. The car is comfortable, quiet and reliable. The 4 cylinder engine is excellent, with 30 mpg overall average. We got 33.9 mpg on our best tankful (hwy), and 24.4 on our worst tankful (city). The large trunk holds all of our luggage for trips with plenty of room to spare. Theres no need to spend the extra money for an almost identical Lexus, unless you are into "snob appeal".

Camry LE 2005 - 2005 Toyota Camry
By sjohnson22 - July 19 - 10:00 amThe Camry 05 has enough power to accelerate onto freeways and I am really happy with the comfort and ease of driving. All of the controls are within reach. It is a fun car to drive, because it is so easy to maneuver. The lumbar support in the drivers seat is an extra plus I did not expect at such a reasonable priced car.

Death of the American Sedan - 2005 Toyota Camry
By Ed - July 6 - 6:26 pmI was a loyal Ford/Mercury sedan buyer, until I walked into the Toyota dealership. Ive always heard about the quality of the Camrys, but once I test drove the car, I was hooked. The ride far surpassed anything I had been previously driving. Surprisingly, the 4-cylinder engine is peppy and I dont miss the 6-cylinder Sable that I had. The fit and finish is also exceptional. Id like to believe that American sedans will improve to the level of Toyota and Honda, but after driving my new Camry, it seems like the U.S. is light years behind. The new styling is great as well and you sit higher, with a more commanding view of the road. A great car for a reasonable price, well worth the investment.

Follow up after 25k miles - 2005 Toyota Camry
By John74 - July 6 - 6:33 amAfter 1 yr and 25k miles later we still love our Camry. Avg. City/Hwy fuel efficiency is a solid 32mpg and no problems to speak off. Tire wear is normal (rotated twice), the leather seats are showing no wear at all, the paint is still factory glossy. A seatbelt mechanism recall was taken care by the dealership within 1 hour.

A Good Option - 2005 Toyota Camry
By Baudilio C - June 15 - 4:23 pmI have owned this car for almost two years now, and so far no problems. I am getting from 29-31 mpg when I drive it more than 90% of the time on the highway. The car is very spacious inside and the radio system sounds pretty good actually. I have the A/C on the minimum all the time and I live in Miami; thats how cold it is. Right now my Camry has 50K miles.
