Toyota Camry 2.0 Review: Hello Uncle!

What we like:

Cushy ride

(almost) flat rear floor makes for a roomy cabin

convenient touches such as electric seats and steering wheel controls.

What we dislike:

4-speed auto should've been upgraded

some customers could have trouble getting to grips with the GPS system. Oh

and that shiny wood trim.

We could complain about the soft suspension that makes the car run wide when you take a corner quicker than usual. Or that because the majority of its buyers happen to be those who are more advanced in their years, the Camry's image is a mature one that doesn't appeal to younger motorists.

But there's no getting around the fact that this car commands a loyal following. Choice of wood trim aside, this is still a comfortable car to drive. It may not be sporty, but its engine is willing to be prodded. Its transmission is dated, but nevertheless retains its smooth-shifting quality.

Would we buy a Camry? Let's just say it's hard to get past the image. But if you happen to have an older relative looking for these qualities in a car, you can tell them we're recommending this one.
