More About This Car
2005 Toyota Camry outsells other midsize cars in America
largely because of Toyota's reputation for quality,
durability and reliability. Camry is the perfect
transportation appliance, flawlessly performing its duties,
never annoying its owner. Its soft suspension smoothes out
beat-up city streets. The interior is ergonomically
excellent, with big climate and audio knobs that are easy to
adjust, and the seats are comfortable.
For a 2005 Toyota Camry, has freshened the Camry's
appearance, bolstered performance for four-cylinder models
with a sophisticated new five-speed automatic transmission,
and made anti-lock brakes standard at all trim levels.
Electronic Vehicle Stability Control, which greatly
increases safety, is now available on four-cylinder as well
as V6 models.
A
160-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine comes standard
on Camry, LE and SE models; a five-speed manual transmission
is standard.
The
2005 Toyota Camry has a comfortable interior with controls
that are straightforward and easy to operate. Everything is
laid out simply. Optional power-adjustable pedals help
shorter drivers find a safer, more comfortable driving
position, moving the pedals closer to them and permitting
them to move farther from the airbag-armed steering wheel.
LE is available with a 210-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 ($2,405)
rated at 210 horsepower; the V6 comes with the automatic
transmission, included in the option price. XLE is available
with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder or the 3.0-liter V6, both
with automatic transmission only.
Overall, the 2005 Toyota Camry is a solid-looking car,
stylish yet conservatively so. The Camry presents a
sculptured appearance, with slightly flared wheel arches and
a distinct dual crease line in the hood, the latter leading
nicely into the grille. To some extent its smooth lines
camouflage its height; the current Camry stands 2 inches
taller than pre-2002 models.
The
2005 Toyota Camry gets a new grille and new headlamps that
give it a bolder appearance than before up front. Out back,
new taillights feature trendy circular lighting elements.
Toyota knows how to build a quiet car with a comfortable
ride. Toyota's Lexus division has excelled in this area and
this expertise has worked its way into the Camry. Engines
are quiet, with an innovative mounting system that further
reduces vibration. Stiff body structures and asphalt sheet
insulation ensure that even when the four-cylinder engine is
driven hard, engine noise is subdued.
