What to check on the Camry

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 165 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, unknown or other and service brakes. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

The figures, translated

The powertrain to know here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Fuel use is rated 7.5 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $34.89 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the Camry

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

What the Camry is like

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 396 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the Camry answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel.
