I just traded in a 2008 Corolla S on a 2012 Se Camry. I did not go to purchase a Camry, I was looking for another Corolla S. When I got to the dealer there were no Corolla S's to be found. So I looked at the row of Camry's and was very surprized to find out they were having a end of the month May sale. Low & behold the prices of the SE Camry's were not all that much more than the Corollas. After a test drive I was blown away at the ride, room, comfort, electronics and the 10 air bags that came with this car. I was even more impressed of the quiet ride and smooth shifting of the 6 speed tranny.

Pleasure to drive. Handles beautifully on the road. Driving comfort is very important to me and the 2012 Camry is outstanding in that department Previous Camry was 6 cyl. and this one a 4. Do not miss the extra power The 4 cyl. gives me all I want or need.
Great car for what it is!

To be fair this isn't an Audi, Lexus, Benz, Beamer, or Acura. This car is an affordable and reliable means to get from point A to point B. I've had the car for 2 years and I've put 40,000 miles on (currently at 130,000 mile). I buy cars like this because of the amount of miles I put on, I like to buy right around 100,000 miles and run them into the ground. Outside of regular maintenance I have only had one very minor repair to do- it was a valve in the vacuum system, cost less than $200.00. At 130,000 the car feels confident and solid, starts well every time, acceleration is adequate although nothing to brag about. During the summer months I average about 29mpg- mainly highway millage (I have a lead foot, plus the speed limits are 70mpg in WI which means I go 80-85). I have a set of Bridgestone tires on the car currently, and on city streets in goes through snow as well or better than my wife's 4wd Rav4. I'm confident putting my newborn in the car, insurance is low, and I'll definitely buy again. I've had just about every brand- now I stick with Toyota.

Camry SE V6 wins in very tough segment

Fantastic motor, it feels effortless and with a combined(city and highway) reduction of only 3 mpg it was a no-brainer decision to get the SE V6. Another factor which pushed me to the SE V6 were some of the other features that are standard with the V6 but are costly options on the 4cy SE like the display audio with Nav/entune, smart key system, SofTex powered drivers seat with lumbar, acoustic windshield and also the great 18 wheels which are only available with the V6. The redesigned interior is very nice, a huge improvement over the previous model and nicer than the competition. After considering the Kia Optima(nicest looking), Hyundai Sonata(ghastly looking), Passat TDI(very intriguing), and Fusion(too bad I was not getting a car next year) I found that the Camry SE V6 provided the best of the bunch.
Love my Camry.

I bought the Camry as a used vehicle. Besides traveling to and from work, the Camry has taken me on a cross-country trip of over 10k miles. Other than replacing the brakes and putting on new tires, I have had no problems with it. The Camry has been great at handling in rain, snow, and ice (if I go slow). Although the Camry is not all wheel drive it drives like it is. Stability in inclement weather has been great to my satisfaction. The Camry has lots of room for passengers as well as loading lots of luggage when traveling. A great family car and even better for someone single that loves to travel.
