| Estimation Globale |

| Description |
| Ask most motorists to identify a Camry and they can't. This competent, comfortable saloon is an executive also-ran without presence or prestige. As a result, it's a real bargain now. |

| Contrà´le technique |
| If you're after an executive car that promises stress-free high-mileage motoring with sensible running costs, all for far less than a BMW or Mercedes, read on! But if you're looking for stylish wheels to boost your self-image, look elsewhere - Camry is a little-known bargain. Never popular with British executives, it sold in small numbers and is not a popular used car. So prices are low; under £10,000 for one of the last 3.0 V6 models - half the price of an E Class of similar age and spec. For that, you get a smooth 190bhp engine, a big interior with plenty of room for four adults and their luggage, quality trim and all the equipment you expect, a smooth ride, excellent safety and almost guaranteed reliability. What's lacking is driver satisfaction - Camry is an efficient but soul-less car to pilot, lacking the interaction and feedback that keen drivers appreciate. |
| Points positifs |
- Compelling value for a quality car
- Spacious, refined and very comfortable
- High standards of reliability and equipment
|
| Points negatifs |
- Bland and utterly characterless
- Will continue to lose value rapidly
- Future resale could be a problem
