Engine

Moreover, used Toyota Camry has braking and the steering systems that provide good driver feedback and intelligent drive.
Suspension
However, used Toyota Camry has its disadvantages. While taking a number of successive turns, the steering wheel often lacks sharpness of movement. In a steep turn at a high speed, the car tends to continue to move straight and then it suddenly makes an abrupt move in the required direction. A surprisingly big turnabout radius is responsible for the fact that the car can take tricky turns in narrow side streets only at a second attempt.
Braking System
The BA emergency brake in used Toyota Camry booster automatically enhances the efficiency of emergency braking if you quickly applied the brakes, but failed to press the brake pedal hard enough. This function is realized through changing the speed of movement and the effort applied to the brake pedals and then increasing the braking pressure, if required.
Such assistance is hardly visible, but it is indispensable, and its extent depends on the driver's tactic while braking.
