We didn't so much select our Camry as grab the first one that came close to meeting our wants and needs. Supply of the car was running at a scarce two weeks, far short of the 60-day industry standard. Our test car is painted Classic Green Pearl with a Sage cloth interior. A four-speed automatic transmission shifts the gears. We loaded ours up with a better sound system, traction control, attractive alloy wheels, and a sunroof.
First impressions are very positive.
The Camry V6 is deceptively fast, rides smoothly, and hangs on well in the corners. Steering is power assisted but doesn't suffer from overboosted numbness. The interior is roomy and comfortable, though the driver's seat cushion is too flat when raised to its uppermost setting. Ergonomically, the car is nearly perfect with the exception of tiny radio knobs and buttons. Wind and road noise is well suppressed.
