Engine
Used Toyota Camry of 5th generation comes in two versions, with a 2.4-L four-cylinder engine and with a 3-L 6V. The first version can come with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission with the top gear, overdrive, disabled. The 6V-powered type is only available with an automatic gear box. This model boasts a great deal of comfort for a car of this class and good driveability. Used Toyota Camry of 5th generation is very smooth to drive; it has a comfortable suspension and a powerful and flexible engine with a torque of 230 n/m at 1000 rpm, which can increase to as much as 270 n/m at 2500. One should also note that speed shifting is smooth and precise; the automatic transmission adapts to the driver's style and slows the car down controlling the engine while going downhill. 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.
Summary
Used Toyota Camry offers a great deal of comfort for a reasonable price. But for the secondary canadian market used Toyota Camry has, it would seem, the biggest advantage — it drives well and does not break down. There is an impression that this car knows all the wishes of its potential owner — both expressed and secret ones. And, making no bones about it, used Toyota Camry tells him so.
