It's like the British Open for family cars, but can the old champ pull off a comeback?
More on the Camry
TheCarConnection.com's editors have driven the Camry , with both engines, and in Hybrid and coupe versions as well. Editors enjoy its smooth ride, its quiet interior (especially in six-cylinder form), its refined engine performance, and the four-cylinder's fuel efficiency. On the downside, the reputation for Camry durability is under fire; the exterior shape is very conservative, interior materials look cheap and subpar in places, and build quality has become an issue for a car that's held the top slot in sales largely based on its quality. In all, the Camry receives a rating of 7.6 out of 10, with lower scores for styling and for safety--the latter, because stability control remains optional on many models for the 2009 model year. Bottom Line? The 2009 Toyota Camry remains one of the best choices for those looking for a reliable and roomy—albeit plainly dressed—family sedan.
