Walkaround

With its fine lines, rounded sides, and also silky coating, it was tough to maintain our hands off the Camry LE Wagon's smooth body. The hood was slightly raised with a delicate contour. Directly underneath was a steel sheet to shield all-time low from bouncing rocks. The sides of the LE Wagon were exceptionally tidy in design-from the refined plastic strip that highlighted its platinum shine to the recessed door handles.

The hood was easy to open up with a flip of a bar, and the oil dipstick and also reservoir were within very easy reach.

In the rear, 2 windshield wipers suggested a severity concerning visibility. Actually, that can see out the rear of a one-rear-wiper window in inadequate conditions? The taillights covered slightly around the rear edges, adding to our perception that everything regarding this wagon fit together flawlessly.

On the whole, there had not been a great deal of decoration besides the chrome Toyota emblem and also name. But we think the easy, classy styling of this wagon will certainly still transform a couple of heads.

Inside Characteristics

Our 6-foot test driver slipped quickly into the Camry LE Wagon when the guiding wheel was elevated. Once in the cockpit, he found a comfortable seat that gave good visibility and also an unexpected feeling of spaciousness for a midsize vehicle.

In general, the dashboard looked well syntheticed. Controls weren't obstructed into arrivals or hidden out of view. The only attribute we did have a trouble finding was the hood release. After getting in touch with the owner's manual, we lastly discovered it under the emergency brake.

The motorist's seat could be changed front to back with a bar, as well as there were handles to readjust the reduced upper body assistance. The vehicle driver's seat reclined even more compared to a lot of wagons we examined. It likewise sat back a bit and also used plenty of clearance.

The backseat fit enough for 3 individuals and, with 34.7-inches of legroom, a tag individual wouldn't need to worry about feeling confined. The 60/40 seat change was easily achieved with a touch of a button, leaving plenty of room for long, extra-large cargo.

There were several well-thought-out security attributes, such as hefty, velour-covered assistance blog posts, childproof rear door locks and also backseat three-point safety belt.

The back hatch was quite large, and back storage space could suit 40 cubic feet of freight. Our belongings were concealed by a retractable mat.

Driving Perceptions

Our Camry LE Wagon launched as silently as a sewing maker as well as continued to be rattle-free throughout our drive. On the highway, it increased promptly and also efficiently to 70 mph with a vivacious, throaty sound. As soon as up to speed, the our examination wagon fit as well as managed responsively when combining into website traffic. The cruise-control buttons got on the guiding wheel itself, so we really did not have to stress over swiftly locating a lever to activate this feature.

The LE Wagon offered a sporty, high-performance drive compared to the hefty handling of a few other wagons. Shifting in and out of equipment was simple, and also the bar was ergonomically designed to feel good in our driver's hand. (Keep in mind that the LE Wagon won't move right into drive unless the brake gets on.).

Control was never an issue, whether we were driving on ice or jam-packed snow, or when we attempted a 360-degree turn at 45 miles per hour. We were also able to turn a U-turn on a normal-width backstreet. Braking on an icy road from 20 miles per hour, we found the ABDOMINAL worked as advertised however made a loud grating audio.

When going up a steep hill or pulling a lots, we slipped out of overdrive, floored it and quickly reached 45 miles per hour at 6,000 rpms.

When it comes to the trip, the sophisticated suspension really did not stop us from really feeling bumps and abnormalities in the road, yet after a few days of commuting we probably would not have discovered the mild jumping.

One important standout: We discovered that our LE Wagon was so very easy to park, it nearly seemed to aid in the effort.

Recap

Nor could its panache for giving all-around comfort be overstated. The Camry's roominess, specifically, is one of the cars and truck's most pleasurable features, which is shocking when you take into consideration the limited wheelbase (103.1 inches). But lots of legroom is a magnificent bonus offer on this automobile that has touched all the bases.

However, interest concerning this wagon's general package might be toughened up a bit by its substantial price tag. After all, a few even more dollars would certainly get you an also roomier minivan-but what you might gain precede you 'd most likely lose in styling and also performance.
