2008 Toyota Camry Reviews
“A Big, Fierce Lookin' Camry That Lacks The "usual" Build Quality!”
Tough Looks.
Stands out as the biggest & roomiest in its class.
Engine & transmition RoCk!
Handling & braking needs alot of improvement.
Very "plastic" interior is of poor quality & feels cheap.
There is quite a bit of the 2008 Toyota Camry that reminds me of it's upscale cousin Lexus. The Materials, Fit and Finish, Technology, Luxury,Design and Performance are outstanding. I was extrememly impressed with the high amount of standard equpiment.- Most of it being highend advanced technology. From the moment the engine is started, you feel elevated among the other cars. The Camry gives such a smooth, sophisticated ride you forget that you're not in a high end luxury sedan. This is especially true when soft leather, various metallic accents, gleaming chrome, highly pollished wood grain, push button start, fancy nav system, and more come together seamlessly. The Toyota Camry is an outstanding car. You certainly know where the Lexus ES 350 came from.
Nice Braking, acceleration good, not a sports car but it gets the job done.
The suspension is a bit too stiff for my tastes. When one thinks of the Camry, one associates it with a ride that is the envy of any other car in this class. This is true of the CE, LE, XLE, and Hybrid trims. The SE has a sport tuned suspension that results in improved handling prowess, but also thumps a bit more over bumps. The ride is still supple and competitive with many sedans, but you don't get the bump absorption like in the other Camry models.
The fit and finish of the Domestic Camry models have been inconsistent. The interior plastic is mostly good, but some panels look and feel budget grade. There are a few inconsistencies in panel gaps. Overall, it is good overall. But American Camry models have had recent uncharacteristic lapses in interior workmanship, that is very unToyotalike.
This new Toyota Camry is a nice car all around. The sixth generation of this front-wheel-drive, white-bread sedan, best-seller for most of the past decade at around 400,000 units/year, is keeping Toyota ahead of the curve when it comes to both content and design. In terms of style, I don’t think “white-bread” quite applies any more.
