Review

It's a beautiful car that's comfortable and good value for money. Look past the negative reviews, it is a complete joke to compare the Camry to Vauxhall Insignia or VW Passat. This car is highly recommended and I always look forward to driving it.

I've just bought a new Camry from our local dealers. Having driven it for only a few days it is quite obvious that this is a brilliant car at a bargain price -don't believe the motoring hacks as this is a five star car in every way. To compare this with a VW Passat or Vauxhall Insignia is a joke. The appearance, finish and comfort levels are way beyond this - this is why the car sells for much more money in mainland Europe and Ireland. The performance is very brisk -far quicker than the figures suggest and it handles neatly with decent steering . However it's the smooth ride that really impresses. In case you're wondering, I've driven a lot of cars at various levels but this is really quite something for £29K -the same price as the top of the range Corolla say or Golf. Yes, and on top of all this it's a hybrid producing less than 100 g/km of CO2 and low NOx. I'm only getting high forties mpg but the car is still very tight so I am hoping this will improve. Drive one- you'll be surprised .

Reliability

5 out of 5

It's too early to say yet but judging by the build quality and Toyota's reputation . It'll be fine Btw it comes with a 5 year guarantee!

Performance

5 out of 5

Well there is a slight lag when you put your foot down due to the CVT box but after that the acceleration is surprisingly fast. The official figure is 0-60 in 8.3 secs but it feels far quicker. Note the electric motor which supplies a lot of torque is as big as some electric car motors.

Running Cost

5 out of 5

Again too early to say but it looks very promising
