Author's Review
I own basic configuration Toyota Camry with standard upgrades:
Power steering/door locks, air condition.
The body is more elevated compared with Honda Accord and previous generation of Camrys. It gives better view of the road, but makes the car swing under the windy conditions.
The 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine gives about 158 hp, enough for most cases, although noticeably less powerful then 166 hp Accord. When driving through mountains, I often had to move to the slower lane, yielding to the pressure of SUVs and even less powerful lighter cars, like Prius, Corolla, and Jetta.
On the plains though, I don't feel any discomfort. It even jumps forward during the very start. The clear advantage is gas mileage, which is around 30mpg for 80% freeway itinerary.
The trunk is spacious. It has child friendly release lever inside. The basic model has only small size spare tire.
The interior has a lot of storage compartments, extra lights. Windshield-integrated antenna does not give particularly strong reception, but it never gets bent during car wash.
Overall, pros are much more prevailing over cons for me.
