We contacted Toyota on your behalf and they would like one of their staff to call you and take you through the process of setting up Toyota Link Assist.
Both cars meet all of your requirements, they have 5-star safety, they're comfortable, have a large boot, and plenty of power for overtaking. Either one would be a good choice, but if I were to be making the selection it would be the Toyota for reliability and resale.
The Camry is on run-out at the moment, which suggests there's an update coming soon. Next month would be on the cards. I wouldn't expect any big changes with it, after all Toyota is about to end local production in 2017. Waiting for the update depends on your needs, you might prefer the newer model, which will have a better resale when you sell than the current car, but Toyota has some deals on the outgoing model and it might be advantageous to snap one up now.
Two choices that get The Tick from me are the Toyota Camry sedan, which can be quite punchy with the 2.5-litre petrol engine and is great value, and the Kia Sportage SUV with turbo diesel.
The Camry Hybrid is a very good car that gets The Tick from me. On the battery front, companies don't talk about the cost because they are expected to last for the life of the car and they generally provide assistance if there are dramas. I know of Toyota Prius taxis in Queensland that have covered more than 350,000km on the original battery.
The Camry is a good choice, it's well-built and reliable, and won't cost the Earth to service. Another to consider would be the Mazda 6, also a well-built and reliable car of about the same size as the Camry.
Yes, I agree that SUVs are a good choice of vehicle for older drivers; as you say they afford you a good view of the road ahead and your surroundings, and they're easier to get in and out of. They are, however, larger and that can make them awkward for older drivers who have a greater tendency to bump into things. If you choose an SUV the CX-5 is a good one. Should you decide against the SUV you could look at the Mazda 6, Subaru Liberty, Toyota Camry, Kia Optima or Honda Accord. All are good cars. Another to think about is the Subaru Outback, a high-riding version of the Liberty.
Ford spokesman, Neil McDonald, replies: “We checked with the engineers and both the rear and side widows use tempered glass which can show up the heat-treatment pattern with polarised sunglasses. You need to get the right angle and the right light but you can see this on every piece of rear and side glass in every manufacturer’s product”.
If you need space, go for the Camry, if you want something more nimble and sporty the Hyundai will be better. Both get The Tick from me.
