I’m 26 years old and it was my first choice of car. So i bought it. I feel safe, It looks great, I’m saving huge amounts on fuel compared to other vehicles this size. Last time i drove past a bowls club i remember seeing many cheaper made cars parked there, is that maybe because retired people over 70 cant afford a $37,000 car? Sounds like you may be an anti Toyota fan?

I’ve driven ‘garden variety’ Camry’s before and know that they can be quite ‘dynamic’. I’ve just found over the years that the owners don’t appear to know how to drive them…

So the cars are apparently just as ‘dynamic’ as anything else. Guess the customers just aren’t up to snuff then….

I don’t mind the Hybrid Camry, well worth the extra few thousand over the petrol equivalent. The styling is much better than the normal one as well as the Liberty and Accord and the Luxury model misses the horrible woodgrain interior on the Grande Camry.

It’s a good offering with a decent amount of space, good value, reasonable power and it should have very good economy around town.

Having said that I’d buy an XR6 or Mazda6 for the same sort of money.

A very interesting article . For those who dispute , take the time and go test drive these cars yourself! That way you have your own verdict!

an excellent report one of a few with no biases ie heritage etc. It would have been useful to see what their fuel consumption was like during performance testing and also what their headlight function at night is like. It is always pleasing when Australian built products can match or better their fully imported rivals. Hopefully the aussie consumer will buy made in oz when it is as good as imported.

Don’t be so sure. The 6′s diesel has 400NM. As I mentioned, I’d like to see them all put head to head.

80-100 the Camry will trounce the others for sure. I drive alot of different cars and nothing comes close to camry Hybrid’s in gear acceleration and performance whilst maintaining only 7 lts/100km, (better if your not into it), Camry Hybrid is a surprising car. I love a test using the raw numbers rather emotion to find a vehicles true level of competency.Toyota is showing how good they really are with this vehicle and we should be proud it’s built in Aus. We should all wake up to how good this car is as a family motoring proposition, but Toyota , give it some sort of Tow Rating (500-1000Kg limit isn’t asking too much is it with the less powerful camry able to pull 1200kg.)
