my family's the 2.0 one, and i will say that it scores high for
comfort but low for spirited driving.
performance is decent for its size i.e. at least i feel confident
enough to head for lane 1 upon entering highway. even at 120 it's
still stable and quiet. but as with most auto cars, there is lag
time in the power delivery when you floor it. but to be fair,
despite the transmission being the conventional type instead of
cvt, it is still quite smooth.
the soft suspensions are paramount to the car's comfort, but it is
also what causes the bodyroll which i hate most of the car, as what
coolblue6699 probably pointed out. must really slow down when
turning, if not those seated behind gonna be sliding away. i guess
this is quite standard for such cars which place niche on comfort,
and esp Camry has such a high centre of mass.
reliability wise, it's a 3-yr-old car which is still going well. no
mechanical problem at all with the engine etc so far, as smooth as
before. however there were faults with the side mirror and power
window, which is quite disappointing for a car of this price.
on the overall it's a car meant to be taken easy and it will serve
well. if you're for spirited driving then it's not for you.
