Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota Camry?
I think this car is great....the best we've ever had...We had an Avalon that was a little too big. Camry handles well, reliable....just a great car with minor recommendations (note below)

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota Camry?
1. would move the clock...now in a recessed area on top of dash...only problem, when sunny, the glare from the sun and the recessed location of the clock make it almost impossible to read ...

2. Radio controls on top and the air system on the bottom....Would reverse these controls....Any other cars I've had the radio has been on the bottom and the air system located elsewhere....difficult after all of these years to get used to radio controls not being on the bottom....

3. When you're driving at a certain speed and you have to break to slow down, then hit the gas to speed up, the car jerks.....Dealership explained electronics having to "catch up with the slowdown, then having to accelerate immediately"....Never had this problem with any other car before..

2009 Toyota Camry Review:
Overall a great car......would buy again........would try and correct above "nuiances" though.....

2009 Toyota Camry Review:
This vehicle replaced a 1994 Camry which in our opinion was a much better car in many ways. We also own a 2008 Highlander which overall outperforms the 2009 Camry performance, especially around town. (mpg, comfort, etc.) The mpg cannot compare to the 1994 either around town or on the highway. My Wife absolutely loved the "94" but drives the (09) only (she had high expectations for the "09" but was completely disappointed) when she has to. But I cannot get the (08) Highlander away from her now that she is used to it. I have been considering trading the (09) in on a Tundra. But now with the recall issue I will be looking toward a Ford F-150.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota Camry?
It is a good size cabin with a big trunk, and it's a good value for the money.
I can fit my car seat in the middle back seat and still get my 2 older kids next to it.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota Camry?
Blind spots.
Handling in rain and snow.
Really cheap tires.

2009 Toyota Camry Review:
I cannot believe how bad it handles in the rain and snow.

I also cannot stand the new transmission, there is a delay in everything you do. For instance, if you come to a stop and then make a turn, you may hit the gas and go or you might hit the gas and get no response at all for a second. (not so good when there are other cars on the road) We took it to the dealer and he says that is normal for the new electronic transmission. I find that hard to believe.

Camry has far too many blind spots (poor design).

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota Camry?
There is vibration that I feel in my back and the passenger seat really vibrates. I have had it to the dealer several times, and have been told it is the nature of the vehicle. That being the case no more Toyota for me.
