2009 Toyota Camry Review

Jumping the gun on the new model year, the 2009 Toyota Camry roars out of the starter's blocks with five trims, the CE, LE, SE, XLE, and Hybrid. The premium trims will offer two engine choices, a 2.4L 4-cylinder and a 3.5LV6. Other drive train options include 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmissions. All models come with front-wheel drive.

With record-setting reliability and impressive fuel economy (31mpg highway, 21mpg city), the Toyota Camry is one of the most popular 5-passenger sedans on the market. The 2009 model is unchanged from last year but is predicted to remain a favorite with its sprightly 158hp inline-4-cylinder or aggressive 268hp V6 engines. There is a lot more to like that the Camry offers, such as driver and front passenger airbags, side-impact, side curtains, and ABS are all standard.

From a long list of options, you can add traction control and stability control to take the worry out of navigating those winding mountain roads. Interior space is in abundance in the new Camry, with a 60-40 fold-down split rear seat, you can haul longer items, such as skis inside the vehicle. Enjoy a quality AM/FM CD player with steering wheel fingertip audio controls. On the LE, pamper yourself with remote keyless entry, automatic driver seat adjustment, and cruise control.

The Camry SE has a sporty flair with 17-inch six-spoke wheels, front and rear underbody spoilers and sports tuned suspension. For a more luxurious driving environment, the XLE is impressively decked out in exotic wood-grain accents, with a soundtrack emanating from a quality JBL sound system. Add to that 4 audio jacks to hear music in privacy. The 2009 Toyota Camry makes a range of models with options to satisfy the particular tastes of nearly everyone. Some of the best financing options for the 2009 Camry are now available online.
