2009 Toyota Camry LE

A step up from the entry-level Camry CE, the 2009 Toyota Camry LE adds such features as remote keyless entry and metallic-style interior trim to the list of standard features, when compared to the CE.

Other standard features for the 2009 Camry LE include power windows and door locks, cruise control, and a six-speaker AM/FM audio system with a CD player and MP3 capability. Antilock brakes with brake assist, an advanced airbag system, integrated front fog lamps, a tire pressure monitoring system, and high solar energy-absorbing glass also come standard.

The Camry LE comes equipped with a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower. The engine links to a five-speed manual overdrive transmission, which comes standard, or an optional five-speed automatic.

Drivers have long given the Camry high marks not only for its economy and build quality, but also for its ease of handling, safety features, and roomy interior, as well as its exterior styling. Some have reported an increase in quality issues in the past few years, but given the fact that the Camry holds its value well, the 2009 version should be as popular with drivers as its predecessors.
