The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
A bread-and-butter best-seller.
By Ray Thursby, NewCarTestDrive.com
In some respects, the Camry is an enigma. Finding fault with the basic package is difficult; who would complain about a roomy, easy-riding car that is beautifully assembled and is sure to be as dependable as the sunrise?But there are areas in which the Camry falls short. Certain competitors--the Accord, for example--are more fun to drive, yet no less comfortable. Others deliver more performance, with little, if any, loss of refinement. And there's the matter of what you get for what you pay. The Camry's base price is reasonable, and the DX lacks only air conditioning to make it a good choice. But a V6-powered XLE, without pricey options like a sunroof, is just over $25,000, and that's a fair chunk of change. If you're looking for good, traditional middle-of-the-road transportation, bolstered by exceptional quality, the Camry delivers. But if you want to build performance and handling agility into the package, it gets expensive, and a number of competing makes offer a little more for a little less. On the other hand, that price premium does have a downstream plus. Camrys hold a relatively high percentage of their value over time, so you'll get a little more back when it's time for your next car. |

Overview:
|
Since its total redesign four years ago, Camry has been Toyota's bread-and-butter car, the all-around midsize family machine that is the company's biggest seller by far. The Camry is meant to meet the needs of a wide range of buyers, from those seeking solid basic transportation to slightly more enthusiastic drivers to the luxury-minded, with a mix of sedans, coupes and station wagons in a variety of trim levels. Camry faces some tough opponents. Virtually every major manufacturer wants a piece of this pie. Honda's Accord line is a perennial favorite; so are the Mazda 626 and Nissan Maxima. The Ford Taurus is slightly larger but still within comparison range, and so are the Chrysler Cirrus/Dodge Stratus near-twins. And don't forget the Chevy Lumina. Plenty of choices, each with something to recommend it. But Toyota didn't earn its reputation by avoiding competition. The Camry has been given the virtues it needs--subdued style, solidity and comfort among them--to face comparison with almost everyone's offerings and emerge with good marks. One major Camry advantage is its sharing of major exterior, structural and mechanical components with the more expensive Lexus ES 300. In theory, a luxury car with a few amenities removed should be an impressive product, particularly when the differences between the two cars have nothing to do with engineering or quality. In this particular case, the common base is a credit to both cars.
