2010 Toyota Camry
I drove the SE version, which attempts to oppose the Camry's practical, uninteresting image with a higher-output four-cylinder, firmer suspension and cosmetic add-ons. Personally, I was amazed by how little it considered the SE plan to really boost the base Camry's plain behavior. In fact, I favor the SE's sporting good planning to several various other midsize sedans, which in its entirety is mostly a shabby section. Although the SE gets by with its look, it isn't a full package because there isn't much incentive in the fun-to-drive division.
The Camry lineup begins with the base model and also supplies LE, SE, XLE and Crossbreed trim degrees.

Just what's Altered for 2010
The Camry has actually continued to be a best-seller also without a couple of vital affordable features, which have been added for 2010: a common electronic stability system, six-speed automatic transmission and also optional USB input for managing, along with having fun, iPods through the stereo. For an assessment of the USB assimilation, which I was not a follower of, see the video clip to the right. Contrast the 2010 version to the 2009 version here. Rivals like the 2010 Hyundai Sonata, 2010 Honda Accord, 2010 Mazda6 and 2010 Chevrolet Malibu have included several of those vital features for a couple of version years.
Base models have new front styling, consisting of a redesigned grille with chrome trim as well as brand-new, larger fronts lights. The 2010's rhinoplasty is an enhancement from the 2009's featureless front styling. SE versions obtain a blacked-out grille as well as smoked-headlight-housing treatment. The SE is good-looking than a normal Camry, thanks to enhancements like a reduced front looter, a lot more hostile side sills, haze lights, 17-inch five-spoke wheels as well as dual tailpipes with a black lower bumper.
Two new four-cylinder engines are available. For the very first time on a Camry, they team with a six-speed transmission in order to help improve fuel economic situation; a six-speed guidebook is common. The SE utilizes a much more powerful engine than base, LE and XLE versions; it makes 179 horse power instead of 169 hp. The SE makes 21 more horse power compared to the 2009 SE without injuring gas mileage. Actually, gas mileage has in fact enhanced 1 mpg in city as well as freeway rankings. I balanced 29 mpg throughout a 400-mile week of primarily highway driving. That's not far from the automated's 32 mpg freeway score. Both four-cylinders are ranked with gas mileage of 22/32 mpg city/highway; the handbook is rated at 22/33 mpg.
SE, the "Flashy" Camry
The SE deserts the Camry's traditional soft, unobtrusive trip top quality with a sporting activity suspension, resulting in a flight that's remarkably stiff for a Camry. It's by no means teeth-jarring, however there's most definitely a taut sensation that can postpone traditional Camry purchasers. When pushed into edges, the Camry leans and understeers, not feeling like a certain entertainer. One-of-a-kind to the SE is a 179-hp version of Toyota's 2.5-liter four-cylinder. When teamed with the brand-new six-speed automatic transmission, this engine made the SE a peppy package; a 268-hp V-6 is optional. Gear modifications were smooth during velocity with marginal engine noise even during hefty velocity.
A stylish Camry is type of like the requisite "bad-boy" participant of a kid band. Regardless of how hostile the effort, he's still in a boy band. Also, the SE can not leave its Camry origins. Camry followers might be attracted to the SE as a sportier choice, however, for the differentiating lover, the 2009 Mazda6 supplies a better-executed sport package.
Interior and Cargo
Right here's where the Camry's comfort-focused roots are a benefit to the SE: The front and also rear seats are extremely comfy. There's good back support with the eight-way power-adjustable seats, and also soft seat paddings made my lengthy drives workable, despite having the SE's tight suspension. For a sporting activity model, the SE's pole positions do not have hostile side reinforcing to keep you from gliding about, however carving edges isn't really the Camry's strong suit, so it's not a deal-breaker.
When you opt for the SE you shed the folding rear seat choice; in its location is a facility pass-through. The folding seats and also a half-foot of trunk room are compromised for a rear suspension brace that's intended to boost handling. With my minimal cargo-carrying requirements the big trunk was suitable enough without the folding rear seat. Those with even more demanding freight needs, specifically longer products, ought to avoid the SE or XLE, which additionally doesn't consist of a folding rear seat.
Features and also Rates
For $22,165, the SE consists of all the suspension, engine and also outside attributes-- minus the looter, a $200 option. As evaluated, our SE noted at $27,725, not including the $750 destination fee. Options on our examination vehicle included automatic transmission, navigation system with backup video camera, USB input, Bluetooth, JBL audio system, moonroof as well as smart essential system with push-button beginning.
A base Camry begins at $19,395, so the SE bundle is a cheap way to liven it up. A base Mazda6 symbolizes a stylish nature, though, and also starts at $18,450.
Security
The 2010 Camry gained Great scores-- the best rating-- in frontal and side collision examinations by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety; it scored Low in rear defense, which is why the Camry doesn't capture the IIHS' Leading Safety Choose award. The 2009 Honda Accord as well as 2010 Ford Fusion earn the designation.

Dependability
The Camry has actually shown subsiding dependability in current version years with average general scores by Consumer Records and a short spell below par for a certain drivetrain. Currently, there typically aren't any kind of predictions for the 2010.
Noteworthy in this segment is the 2010 Ford Blend's anticipated top reliability score for front-wheel-drive 4- and also six-cylinder designs. The Honda Accord's scores are above average for four- as well as six-cylinder versions, however they're not as high as the Combination's.
Camry in the marketplace
Buyers need to drive both the Camry SE and various other Camry trims to see if the sport-tuned suspension is also strong for everyday commutes. There are a great deal of great midsize sedans around. While the 2010 Camry steps up its video game, customers now have extra strong alternatives than ever before.
In the last few years, the competition has overtaken the Camry while its reliability has slipped a little bit, making the Camry even more of a typical choice compared to a class-leading midsize car.
