2007 Toyota Camry Review

Ron Perry’s Advice about the 2007 Toyota Camry:
Personally I would pass on the 2007 Toyota Camry. With more appealing cars on the market from Honda and Hyundai, I feel you can get a better deal not only on a car that looks and feels nicer, but in the case of the Hyundai is backed with a better warranty. The Azera, for instance, is heads and tails above the Camry in style and refinement. Granted, you aren’t getting the reputation of Toyota reliability and resale value, but you will make it up in driving pleasure and comfort.

Thom Blackett’s Advice about the 2007 Toyota Camry:
A few generations back, Camry style was admittedly on the plain side, though there were some clean lines, attractive styling cues, and when outfitted with alloy wheels and a subtle rear spoiler, Mom and Dad even felt OK driving it. Plus, it was a good car. For 2007, that same car has been transformed into an odd-looking boat that goes fast but handles like, well, a boat. Mirroring the slide in design is the less-than-stellar build quality. All that for an as-tested price of $31,039? I don’t think so. Hello, Mr. Honda Accord dealer…

Christian Wardlaw’s Advice about the 2007 Toyota Camry:
Toyota is not invincible. After two decades of progressively better Camrys, the company stumbles with the 2007 redesign. This car, with the exception of a driver’s seat that accommodates my comfort needs and an appreciated fine-tuning of the mechanicals, is not an improvement over the one it replaces. Sure, it’s more powerful and a more pleasing car to drive, but it’s less refined and the quality of construction and materials is disappointing, especially on the $31,000 XLE V6 version we drove for a week. Maybe the new Camry Hybrid, or the sport-tuned Camry SE, will win me over. Until I’ve had a chance to sample those, however, I find myself unable to recommend this new Toyota when so many less expensive and better midsize cars are available for the taking.
