Toyota has long played third fiddle in the quest for sales in the UKs large car market with the Toyota Camry never having truly been able to compete with the bigger and bigger-engined Opel and Ford six cylinder models.
On the space front, the new Camry does indeed feel like a big car with the curved dash accentuating the broad outlook across the bonnet. In the rear, Toyota claims an increase of 98mm in legroom and it does seem like it with plenty of space for three adults in reasonable comfort across the sculpted bench. The boot too offers a cavernous space that can be expanded through the split fold seat back and there are plenty of storage cavities up front in the centre console, dash and doors.
It is a quiet and refined powerplant that seldom intrudes on what are generally very low levels of overall noise vibration and harshness and the car is quick to respond to firm input from the right foot.
.The ride is reasonably comfortable, particularly on rougher roads with plenty of compliance and the seats are actually quite decent pews, having been locally developed. Getting in the right driving position, however, is a bit awkward as the steering lacks a reach adjustment.
Electric controls abound for everything from the front seats to the standard sunroof, there is full leather trim, climate control, cruise control, dual front and front side airbags, ABS – which is standard on all V6 models – 6-stack CD sound system, and a full touch screen DVD satellite navigation system,.
. On the road it doesn’t actually feel that much more powerful than the four, which is much praise to that engine, and like the smaller engine, likes to play in the middle of the rev range for the best results. It is very smooth and quiet though with low levels of noise.Try here Buy used Toyota Cars Cavan to find one.
