2010 Toyota Camry
I drove the SE version, which attempts to resist the Camry's practical, unexciting photo with a higher-output four-cylinder, stronger suspension and cosmetic attachments. Personally, I was amazed by exactly how little it considered the SE bundle to actually boost the base Camry's boring behavior. Actually, I prefer the SE's sporting great seek to numerous other midsize sedans, which overall is mostly a drab segment. Although the SE manages with its appearance, it isn't really a full package because there isn't much reward in the fun-to-drive department.
The Camry lineup begins with the base design and also supplies LE, SE, XLE and Hybrid trim levels.

What's Altered for 2010
The Camry has stayed a record-breaker even without a couple of crucial affordable attributes, which have been added for 2010: a common digital stability system, six-speed transmission and also optional USB input for managing, as well as playing, iPods through the stereo. For an analysis of the USB assimilation, which I was not a fan of, see the video clip to the right. Compare the 2010 model to the 2009 version here. Competitors like the 2010 Hyundai Sonata, 2010 Honda Accord, 2010 Mazda6 and also 2010 Chevrolet Malibu have actually included one or more of those vital features for a couple of model years.
Base versions have new front designing, consisting of a redesigned grille with chrome trim and also new, bigger headlights. The 2010's nose surgery is an enhancement from the 2009's featureless front styling. SE models obtain a blacked-out grille as well as smoked-headlight-housing therapy. The SE is better-looking than a regular Camry, thanks to improvements like a reduced front looter, more hostile side sills, haze lights, 17-inch five-spoke wheels and double tailpipes with a black reduced bumper.
Two new four-cylinder engines are offered. For the very first time on a Camry, they team with a six-speed automatic transmission to assist improve fuel economy; a six-speed manual is conventional. The SE utilizes a more powerful engine compared to base, LE and XLE models; it makes 179 horsepower instead of 169 hp. The SE makes 21 more horse power than the 2009 SE without injuring gas mileage. In fact, gas mileage has in fact enhanced 1 mpg in city as well as freeway scores. I balanced 29 mpg throughout a 400-mile week of mostly highway driving. That's not far from the automated's 32 mpg highway ranking. Both four-cylinders are rated with 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 typical soft, inconspicuous flight quality with a sporting activity suspension, resulting in a trip that's surprisingly stiff for a Camry. It's never teeth-jarring, yet there's definitely a tight feeling that can delay standard Camry buyers. When pressed right into corners, the Camry leans and also understeers, not feeling like a confident performer. Unique to the SE is a 179-hp version of Toyota's 2.5-liter four-cylinder. When teamed with the new six-speed transmission, this engine made the SE a vivacious package; a 268-hp V-6 is optional. Gear modifications were smooth throughout acceleration with very little engine sound also during heavy velocity.
A flashy Camry is kind of like the requisite "bad-boy" participant of a young boy band. No matter how aggressive the attempt, he's still in a kid band. Also, the SE cannot leave its Camry roots. Camry loyalists might be attracted to the SE as a sportier choice, however, for the discriminating enthusiast, the 2009 Mazda6 provides a better-executed sporting activity plan.
Inside and Cargo
Here's where the Camry's comfort-focused origins are an advantage to the SE: The front and back seats are extremely comfy. There excels back support with the eight-way power-adjustable seats, as well as soft seat pillows made my long drives workable, despite having the SE's rigid suspension. For a sport model, the SE's pole positions do not have aggressive side reinforcing to keep you from moving about, yet carving corners isn't really the Camry's strong suit, so it's not a deal-breaker.
When you select the SE you shed the folding backseat choice; in its place is a center pass-through. The folding seats and a half-foot of trunk area are compromised for a back suspension brace that's planned to boost handling. With my minimal cargo-carrying demands the huge trunk appropriated sufficient without the folding backseat. Those with even more demanding cargo needs, particularly longer things, need to prevent the SE or XLE, which additionally does not consist of a folding rear seat.
Attributes as well as Prices
For $22,165, the SE includes all of the suspension, engine and also outside attributes-- minus the spoiler, a $200 alternative. As checked, our SE provided at $27,725, not consisting of the $750 destination fee. Options on our test automobile included automatic transmission, navigating system with backup video camera, USB input, Bluetooth, JBL audio system, moonroof as well as wise vital system with push-button start.
A base Camry begins at $19,395, so the SE package is an economical means to cheer it up. A base Mazda6 embodies a stylish nature, though, as well as begins at $18,450.
Security
The 2010 Camry earned Excellent rankings-- the most effective rating-- in frontal and side crash examinations by the Insurance coverage Institute for Freeway Security; it racked up Limited in back protection, which is why the Camry doesn't snatch the IIHS' Top Security Choose honor. The 2009 Honda Accord as well as 2010 Ford Combination gain the classification.
For a full checklist of the Camry's security functions, see below.
Integrity
The Camry has revealed waning integrity in current design years with average general scores by Consumer Reports and a quick spell second-rate for a particular drivetrain. Presently, there typically aren't any kind of forecasts for the 2010.
Noteworthy in this section is the 2010 Ford Combination's forecasted top integrity score for front-wheel-drive 4- and also six-cylinder models. The Honda Accord's scores are above average for four- as well as six-cylinder designs, however they're not as high as the Fusion's.
Camry on the market
Shoppers need to drive both the Camry SE and various other Camry trims to see if the sport-tuned suspension is also strong for day-to-day commutes. There are a lot of good midsize sedans out there. While the 2010 Camry steps up its video game, consumers now have a lot more strong options compared to ever before.
In recent times, the competitors has actually caught up with the Camry while its integrity has slid a bit, making the Camry more of an ordinary choice than a class-leading midsize car.
