I own a Toyota Camry. To recommend this car is like recommending you bring home a nice, sweet girl home to meet Momma, as opposed to a Sunday Dinner at your Grandma's with your date "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers"
The car is so well made I don't want to put the a Voodoo Jinx on it, but it has had nothing ,but basic servicing( tune up , oils changes) for the past 5 years. I owned other cars and believe me I sleep with an american flag under my pillow at night , but the Japanese know something about making a car. Those in the know will tell me AH- but the Toyota is American made- it is , but the majority of the car, it's working essentials are made in Japan. I had a Chevy , brand new- broke the first week I had it. Water Pump blew. That is another tale of woe.
I have the souped up model, 4 doors, air conditioning, great sound system, anti lock brakes, the fancy door locks and electric windows. One super feature, I adore this. You can open all four door with the driver's side key. Wonderful. The kids have library books, soaking wet from the rain, I can let them in from my side.
The car seats are super comfortable. There is enough leg room for the biggest guys.
There is also plenty of cup holders, and a nice holder for sunglasses or garage door opener. The air conditioner will keep you nice and chilly through the summer too. I also bought the beautiful wood trim option. This really adds a little spice to the car.
Power in this car is unreal. I can pass all those sexy truck drivers with ease. It just has fabulous pick up. The gas mileage isn't bad either. On long trips , I can go from New York to Boston on one tank of gas. Bet you can't compete with that in your Rolls Royce, so there.
Just for fun, I revved up the engine and took my foot off the gas and wanted to see how long I could coast . Warning , don't try this on the freeway. I actually went almost two miles before the car came to a halt.
The car has wonderful trunk space, if I can tote enough baseball equipment for a team of 15 seventeen year old boys, just think what you can put in this thing.
I adore the car so much - I just bought another Toyota. An Echo, adore that too. If you want a car that is dependable, will be there through thick and thin, buy the Toyota...although it won't turn any heads with it's non-sexy style, it will turn you into a Toyota believer.
