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.

Feels like a 30k+ car - 2005 Toyota Camry
By Patrick - July 4 - 3:26 amWe only have 150 miles on it but we love this car. Dash is beautiful with BRIGHT gauges. Leather seats and interior fit and finish feel like a much more expensive car. The car just soaks up bumps (we live in Metro NY area so there are plenty of them). For 25K we got 16 inch alloys, v6, heated seats, climate control, traction and stability control, leather, moonroof, 6 CD changer, adjustable pedals, side airbags, tilt wheel and more. Are you kidding me???

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.

Good solid car - 2005 Toyota Camry
By Daniel - June 9 - 3:40 amSo i bought my 2005 Camry SE v6 I see complaints about handling but noticed all complaints are on the cheapest model camrys LEs base 4cyl Mine handles like a champ (sway bars bigger rims/wider tires on the SE) 120,000 miles not a single issue other than my sunroof is touchy. Gas milage is unbelievable for a good size sedan 34 hwy I live in mohave county Az average temp in summer near 120, paint is still nearly perfect no fade. Trunk space would make al capone blush, I could hide 10 bodies in there. 225hp is just right, my altima SER was overboard and caused wheel spin 285hp, Plus tires were a yearly issue on the altima. Build quality... It aint no BMW but its better than average. Great car overall, not fancy but still classy.

Love my Camry! - 2005 Toyota Camry
By jPrindable - May 28 - 12:50 amThere is plenty of room for my infant seat in the back, even in the rear facing position. The 4 cyl. engine has PLENTY of pick-up-and-go! The seats are very comfortable, the controls are easy to use, and I love the ability to add limited options that are most important to YOU.

First Toyota owner - 2005 Toyota Camry
By james florez - May 2 - 11:16 amThis is the first time I own a Camry SE to this date I have been extremely satisfied, the ride, comfort and the feel of quality in the car is superb. As an owner of a Honda for over thirteen years, I can frankly attest that Toyota (Camry SE) is of superior quality.

Beauty and the Beast - 2005 Toyota Camry
By CoastRider - May 1 - 1:40 pm1000 miles on new 2005 Camry SE V6. Interior: This vehicle has less front leg room than my old 95 Camry. Carpet and seat fabric quality not up to par as in older models. Seats feel very hard and uncomfortable for this tall driver. Radio controls hard to reach even with long arms; should be angled toward driver. Driving: Be prepared for a harsh ride in the SE as the sport suspension will alert you to every small bump and dip in the road. 17" wheels and tires look good but are very noisy on grooved freeway pavement. The V6 likes to be driven fast. Engine exhaust note has a nice "throaty growl" to it. At low speeds, transmission and engine seem to lug. Car shifts into 5th gear at 40 mph?
