  Power when needed not there - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Jack Seltzer - March 21 - 10:00 am

  In general I like the car very much, this being the first Toyota and first foreign car Ive owned. However, in situations where power is needed (e.g., pulling out of the right hand lane on a highway, hitting the accelerator to move into the left lane because cars are moving up in this lane, power is lacking. There is a big lag between when the accelerator is pressed and the car actually does accelerate. Toyota has advised it takes some getting used to (i.e., as compared to my previous cars which were Pontiacs).

  Aproaching perfection - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Papa - March 21 - 2:53 am

  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
  By mikki tran - March 11 - 2:23 pm

  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.

  Great car but not very reliable - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By H Hoang - February 19 - 12:10 am

  I owned the Camry for almost 2 years now. This car rides very smooth and comfort, good gas mileage. Steering feels very unstable on windy day, highway only. My only concern is power steer broke at 30K miles, whole rack and pinion system replaced. I am very suprised, this seems to be very early for Toyota car. Manufacture covered the cost, around $900. Other than this problem, I think Camry is a good car for family.

  Nice car - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Dean - January 26 - 8:36 pm

  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.

  Horrible mistake - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By aetherial - January 4 - 12:36 pm

  Looking at trading it in after 2000 miles. This is a VERY disappointing car. The seats are horrible even with power adjustments I cannot get comfortable. The gas mileage is nowhere near what was stated. The transmission lag in dropping down is annoying. This is the worst car I have ever owned.

  Poor Build Quality - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By schweizer - December 27 - 7:33 am

  Bought my Camry new and now have just over 70k miles on it. Has been religiously serviced and pampered. Issues with paint. Chips easy, rusts easy(in spots where there is no chips). Leaks through the driver side air bag when washed. Cars interior is noisy. Sounds like a ball bearing is rolling through the dash. On the passenger side it sounds as if the engine isnt even shielded and we get an airy high pitch noise coming into the cabin. Dash rattles in places. No thigh support in the seats. Have replaced several bulbs, front, rear lights etc. Dash control lights are out on a couple(Ive heard of other complaints about this). All issues came about within the first couple of years.

  Best Luxury Car from Toyota - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Jane - December 25 - 11:10 pm

  I will highly recommend this car as it is fun to drive, powerful, and very reliable. I will personally rate it 4.8/5. Whoever plans to buy this 2005 model will see that his/her money has not gone in waste.

  Buy this car - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By jbblanch - December 9 - 7:13 am

  I needed a commuter car to replace ancient Cavalier. Got familiar with Toyotas when my wife got the Sienna ly. The Camry Standard was ideal for the commute (1 hr each way, so I wanted some room) and the pocket. Dont bother with the upgrade to LE, color matched mirrors arent worth the grand. Drives smooth as silk and has suprisingly good pick-up. Roomy back seat allows for the booster seat for my 2 year old without jamming his legs (Im 6ft and need the seat back). Nice headroom too.
