Toyota Camry Reviews

The Camry has long struggled to gain any real traction with Australian families, most of whom dismissed it as bland and boring.

There was a time when transforming the Toyota Camry into a car that was interesting to look at and fun to drive would take a wand-waving miracle of Harry Potter proportions.But there have been some strange goings-on at Toyota HQ lately, with the Japanese giant slowly shaking off its cardigan of conservatism and trying to produce cars that are actually, genuinely, fun to drive.And so the first Camry range to be fully imported since 1987 (we all know by now that local production is grinding to a halt in October this year) is also the first sedan to be built on the company's 'Toyota New Global Architecture' - the same that underpins the C-HR small SUV.The new platform joins a company-wide focus on driver enjoyment and dynamics - two things not often associated with the existing Camry.Scheduled for an Australian launch in November, this all-new and all-imported Camry (our cars are now built in Japan) will arrive with a choice of a four-cylinder petrol, four-cylinder hybrid or V6 petrol engine and in two distinct body styles - safe or sporty.But if you’re thinking this all sounds like more of the same, think again. Or, in the words of Toyota Australia's corporate manager of product planning, Marcus Umlauff, “Everything is different. Everything has changed.”So has Toyota delivered the best-driving Camry ever?

The market was in a state of transition in 2006 when Toyota released this locally produced Camry; buyers were shifting away from the traditional big sixes and seeking out more fuel-efficient models.
