Auto reviewers think Toyota made the best-selling Camry even better with a redesign for 2012 thanks to its excellent fuel economy, refined performance and high-quality interior.
Test drivers like the redesigned 2012 Toyota Camry for its roomy interior, best-in-class non-hybrid, non-diesel fuel economy, relaxed ride and smooth engines. With the changes for 2012, most reviewers expect the Camry to retain its position as one of the best-selling cars in the class.
The automotive press says the 2012 Camry gives shoppers a good mix of comfort, engine power, interior space and technology. They’re glad Toyota made improvements where necessary and left other areas that didn’t need tweaking unchanged. Motor Trend says, "Besides being a best-seller, it has arguably been the best car in its class for 20 years, so improvements tend to be incremental, not phenomenal, like those of the '08 Chevy Malibu, '10 Ford Fusion, '11 Hyundai Sonata, and possibly the '12 VW Passat."
The main gripe reviewers have with the 2012 Toyota Camry is its redesigned exterior. Although they think it looks better than the 2011 model, they still note that the Camry has a conservative, bland look. While some say they wish Toyota would make the Camry a little more edgy, they understand that bold styling might limit the Camry’s mass-market appeal.
If you’re shopping for a roomy, capable, fuel-efficient midsize sedan, auto reviewers say the 2012 Camry is definitely worth a test drive.
Other Cars to Consider
With the exception of hybrid and diesel cars, the 2012 Toyota Camry has the best fuel economy in the class. If good gas mileage is especially important to you, the Toyota Camry Hybrid is a good option because its fuel economy ratings are better than the gas-only Camry, but it also costs several thousand dollars more. The Camry Hybrid also retains all the features reviewers like about the gas-only Camry, including its performance and interior features.
If you like the practicality of the Camry but are looking for a sedan with more “look at me” style, check out the 2012 Hyundai Sonata. Along with its head-turning bodywork, the Sonata also carries many of the same features as the Camry. These include a roomy interior, a fuel-efficient base engine and a competitive list of standard tech features like Bluetooth and USB iPod integration. Reviewers think the Sonata is one of the best-looking midsize cars on the market.
