Pros: What do you like about 2006 Toyota Camry?
Gas mileage, price, looks nicer than it's actually worth, the factory stereo is pretty good, and the trunk is huge.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota Camry?
Transmission performance by far! The hesitation in the transmission is so annoying and it worries me sometimes. Also, around 40 mph it does this weird thing where if you slightly let off the gas (trying to maintain a steady speed) it jerks and then when you accel again it jerks again. I'm happy about everything else with the car.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
Overall I'm very happy with the car except the transmission, which is a vital part of the car. I have had my 2006 Camry since Nov. 2005 and I would already like to get something else that doesn't have the transmission problem. I planned on having this car for at least five years, but I'm not sure if that will happen.

Fuel economy.

Price; affordable.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota Camry?
Driver's seat adjustment: the thigh support isn't there. Should go up higher under my knees.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
This is my first Camry but it won't be my last. I love it, it's beautiful, the fuel economy is worlds better than my previous vehicle (an SUV), it's quiet, and looks a lot more expensive than it actually was.

gas mileage

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
the over-estimated gas mileage referred by Toyota made me do the wrong decision to buy 2006 Camry. I regret to trust Toyota's ad for such decision, in particular as a Toyota's long-term owner.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
I dislike, a lot, the engine which is not as quiet as my last (1998) camry and the hesitation in acceleration. I wish I had bought a different car.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
Purchased 2006 XLE with options GU and HD. Car rides smooth and excellent handling . Placement of audio controls on steering good idea bad location ( should be at 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock) not 5 and 7.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Toyota Camry?
Great MPG, Very quiet, Lots of features for the dollars.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota Camry?
I would like a pause button for the CD player

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
I have owned two Altimas and a Mazda 6 in the last 22 months and put over 52,000 miles on them. The Camry rides better than any of those hands down! Smoother, quieter, better fuel economy for comparable dollars. I have averaged 30 mpg and really enjoy driving this car. The 4 banger has plenty of power and you can go over 500 miles on a tank of gas. Great fit and finish and very quiet. The trunk is much bigger than the Altima and the rear end does not sag down when you load it up.(like the Altima) The Altima averaged only 26 miles per gallon and had much more road noise. Toyota has done a GREAT JOB with this car and I Highly recommend it. Smooth, quiet and great economy. I love it!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Toyota Camry?
I got the standard (auto) which came with ABS, cruise, power windows/doors, AM/FM CD & more. The only thing missing from the LE (after dealer upgrade) was full size spare and power seat - so what? (Saved me a grand!)

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota Camry?
Can't think of any.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
Ok, this may be a bit premature since I only have about 350 miles on it, but I've got to praise this car! Exceeded all expectations. Smooth ride, excellent handling, abundant power. Loaded even at the base level. Incredible build quality. I'm having a problem getting adjusted to this car, though. It does such a good job of isolating the driver from the road, I sometimes don't realize how fast I'm going! Sometimes it feels more like sitting in my living room watching a movie than driving!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Toyota Camry?
Overhead flip down sunglasses compartment, side hooks for your grocery bags, and of course the silky smooth V6 engine. Toyo's legendary reliability.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota Camry?
A telescopic steering wheel.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
After looking at the Accord and out of reach Maxima, the Camry was the logical choice. I opted for the LE V-6. The Accord has more ponies but is a sohc engine compared to the Toyo's dohc. In addition, the Honda cost $3000 more. And their interior is less insulated from road noise. The Camry's 3.0 V6 is strong and feels effortless. You'll go up to freeway speed in no time. The 5 speed auto is very smooth, barely perceptible. Ergonomics are very driver friendly. 15 inch wheels with Continental tires. You'll save gas and money with the 4 cylinders base model, however, I would strongly recommend you to go for the base V6 LE. You get an extra 40+ ponies to pass those 18 wheelers.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
I recently purchased this car for my wife and I am really pleased with the style and performance of this car. My wife wanted this car so bad after test driving it and I wanted to get an Accord but I'm glad I went with the camry.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota Camry?
Make aluminum wheels standard on all Camrys. I am now looking for aftermarket wheels.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
For less than $19k, I got a larger, comfortable, and pretty fast car. I searched for a black Camry for about 2 months, and I found a STD. The gas mileage is as it states appox 30MPG, unlike other manufacturers that like to round up to 30. I drove an Avalon and a Camry V6. Performances were so similar, the price tag decided.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Toyota Camry?
Automatic light feature and the steering wheel sterio controlls. The adjustable dash lights are also a nice feature.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota Camry?
A more positive feel to the brake pedal would be nice as would a slightly longer seat adjustment as I am 6'3" tall and find it a little cramped on longer trips.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
We have been waiting since '02 to buy a new Camry after having rented one on a trip. The ride and handling are much improved on the '06 as well as the reduction in road noise. The majority of our driving is short city trips with a small amount of highway driving. In spite of this we averaged 27.44 mpg on the first tank and 28.56 mpg on the second. The 2.4 liter 4 cyl delivers all of the power one could wish for and the transmission shifts without any noticeable feel of having done so. I would recomend this vehicle to anyone wanting a car of this size. The huge trunk is also an added plus for handling all the normal things one would normally need to haul in it.

2006 Toyota Camry Review:
Just used the car about a month and never had a Camry before. What I like: V6 engine which is quiet and powerful enough for the regular driver; comfortable seats; nice looking interior and good radio. What I do not like: the electronic transmission performance (unpredictable when driving), car feels every bump on the rough road; noisy tires on highway. Overall,however I like the car more than Accord and Altima.
