2009 Toyota Camry SE V6

The mid-level 2009 Toyota Camry SE V6 trim provides drivers with an expanded list of standard features, when compared to the LE and CE trims, as well as a bump in power, thanks to its 268-horsepower V6 engine, which links to a six-speed automatic overdrive transmission.

Standard features for the Camry SE V6 include a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, Blue Optitron instrument gauges, and special sport fabric. Outside, unique SE features include halogen headlights with black trim, integrated front fog lights, a blackout sport grille, a chrome-tipped exhaust, and color-keyed underbody spoilers and side rocker panel moldings.

Available options include heated front seats, an eight-speaker JBL AM/FM audio system with a CD changer, and a voice-activated DVD navigation system.

Drivers and reviewers give the Camry good marks for its interior comfort, safety features, handling, economy, and ease of handling, as well as its exterior styling and build quality. 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.
