DESCRIPTION

Pros:

• Refined powertrains

Ruling: The Toyota Camry is a reliable, comfortable commuter for millions, which helped it conquer the market as the best-selling car in the U.S. for nearly a decade. Even though it was the best-selling car in America for eight straight years, the Camry saw its reputation damaged by Toyota's highly publicized recalls for unintended acceleration.

Overall, the Toyota Camry offers a spacious, comfortable interior and is setup for a smooth ride.

The Camry was last redesigned for the 2008 model year. The Camry is available in a stripped-down base model, a better-equipped LE edition, a sport-tuned SE model and a top-of-the-line XLE trim level. The 2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid, a close variant of the gas-only Camry, is reviewed separately.
