Decent economic sedan

published

I own a 2009 Altise and coming from a 2003 Altise, this car has a couple of performance flaws. Things such as it's very apparent lack of power, it's far too heavy, feels very large and sluggish when compared to the older model and suffers from surprisingly bad fuel economy for a Toyota. The horrendous understeer when pushed to the limit is also an imperfection and it also does have a very cheap, tacky interior styling. The car does however look very good (a step up from previous models), has a very plush and comfy ride, has plenty of interior space and is very reliable.
Reliable, nice comfy ride, roomy, nice exterior styling
Too fuel thirsty, cheap interior styling, performance, handling

Superb car Altise 2007

published

It is superb car, smooth to drive. It is comfort for long drive. I love to drive it. Actually I am addict to drive it. Have a great space at rear seat. Cruise control is also nice. I had 6 cylinder before but never feel like Altise has 4 cylinder. It is very safe care to drive.
Reliable, fuel efficiency and safty
No Aux input.

Had a Ford Falcon Ghia and just took possession of 2013 Camry Atara SL. So far I like it, it has all the fruit of a much more expensive car and yes, it is a 'cardigan car' but I don't care. It's roomy, comfortable and has all I need in a car.

That rear window buffeting is true for almost every brand out there....physics at play. Not Camry-specific.

I drive 1 at work and can say that most of the people do not want to drive it. It is not worth the extra price as it would take about 50 years to get back the difference in price with fuel useage compared to a normal 4 cylinder camry. I would hate to see the running costs of this once out of warranty and batteries need replacing.
Supposedly a green car
Takes a long time to start, fuel useage around is no better than a small 4 cylinder, how much it will cost when the batteries need replacing,expensive compared to petrol camry. Toyota charge too much for their cars.

Sounds like you don't know how to drive a Hybrid! You don't have to wait for it to start. Once the ready light is on you just drive off under electric power. I just traded a 2010 Hybrid Camry on a 2012 model. the 2010 was Great the 2012 is brilliant.

Have owned car for just over a year. Had one warranty repair. Squeeky dashboard. New screws fitted by Toyota free of charge. Not very economical for a 4, but its almost the size of a Commodore. Drives great nice and smooth. Sold my 03 VY Holden Berlina to buy the Camry, and never looked back.
Best looking Camry so far. I have either owned or driven every model so far, and I like this one the most. Huge boot (though not as big as previous model). Remote boot release very handy. Smooth and Quiet.
Engine lacking power, but mostly on take off, hard to see when reversing, but all newer cars are the same. Altise a little blan,

Best car I've had so far. I can't complain as my family loves it and I love it. I have put 20 inch rims on it and looks perfectly good. Very sporty and can maneuver around the quite well and very agile family car.
Unbeatable, one might think that the ACV40 Camry is dull for accountants only car, but it's not. I have the 2006 Camry Sportivo and its been very reliable so far. Turning is stable, safety features excellent for my family.
Just the radio light at night and can be a bit thirsty. Should have a bit more power for Sportivo.

My first test drive in the Camry Hybrid was great, on the open road it was able to get up and oer take road train with ease and I was shocked to see the speedo head past 140kph! So quiet and powerful! I was a bit alarmed when sitting in heavy traffic to have the engine all of a sudden kick in and hit 4,000rpm to charge the batteries, even though the car did not move it made me think I had no control over the car and I did not like that at all!
Solid, quick and a name you can trust
Small boot space due to batteries, and lots of them!

Legroom......if only the big German cars offered that! :) Especially at the rear, where executive clients travel. I won't mind the length, as longs as people can be seated comfortably.

We have done just under seventy thousand kilometers so far. Half of which has probably been done city driving and the other half on the open road. The longest trip in this vehicle so far has been about seventeen hours and it was quiet comfortable the whole time. Although it was great to get out an go for a walk! I find that it is spacious in the front back and in the boot. I am happy for this to be a family car.It has more than enough power for our roads and will sit on 130kmh no problems. Any faster is a waste as this is the max limit in Australia. I am pleased with this 2009 Camry.
Spacious well built family vehicle. Comfortable on long trips. Good fuel economy for a four cylinder but such a large body.
I do not know of any.

My Camry Grande 2010 engine does not turn off, when I tried to by pressing the start/stop button. Never heard of such a problem. Only ever heard of engine not starting. What to do?

The problem was water leaking from windshield which was replaced 4 years back. Rain leaked in and caused electrical shorts/problems. I took it to service, they suggested I replace windscreen which I had it done. Then they cleaned the joints/junction what ever, and no problem at present. Hopefully the windscreen seal is good and durable and will not cause same problem. Totally it cost $450 for windscreen + $550 for mechanic service an total of nearly $1000.

Hi Riff,

I did not drive a Toyota with so many kms, however what I've heard they can do 1 mil kms when serviced properly. Look, it is probably the most reliable car you can get. Thus, examine the major parts properly such as engine (sound, start, behaviour by low and high speed, acceleration), gear box, suspension... Otherwise I believe it should be a very good car.

Best,
Andrej

The dealer told me they have no problem with older models.But of course depends on previous owner.
