- Verified purchase
one of the best car I ever drove.
This is one of the "handy" car I ever have. Running very smooth and quiet. And very easy to control the steering wheel. This car have 5 star safety rate and that's why I bought as my city family car.
Running costs are not cheap, mine is 2.5 Altise,75L full tank oil can run about 600 in the city.
Con: Audio system are not great, speaker quality not as good as I expected. Only one cd player not the 6 cd unused had in my Honda. Touch screen، bluetooth function need to improved.

Atara S- Nice and safe car to drive with family
Most reliable Australian car backed up with toyota advantage. Safe 5 star for family. Excellent pick up just little bit of downside is /liter petrol mileage is not good if driving short distance. Otherwise tick all boxes. At current price its bargain to have all extra features like push start...electric seat adjustment etc.

Hybrid incredible fuel economy - Practical family car
Haven driven the Camry Hybrid for 6 Months and covered 16,500km I can say I am still amazed at it's fuel economy.
Positives: It has blisteringly fast acceleration as the electric motor provides 'instant' power with no lag. 1,000km on a tank of standard 91 Octane Unleaded is the norm.
It is a practical sized car for my Wife and 2 x Children (10-12)
The entertainment system and bluetooth are easy to use.
Negatives: A rather boring, plan ride - dull and uninspiring
Boot space in impacted by the battery system housed under the rear seat
Overall for a no frills family, not wishing to carry much luggage often this is hard to ignore

Very Economical
Toyota Camry Atara SL Hybrid
Very Economical at 6.5L/100km in the real world (better than a corolla)
Very quiet!
Comfortable no nonsense interior.
Great to have advanced features such as autonomous emergency braking and radar guided cruise control available in a Camry.

Enjoy the Driving Experience
Introduction: Bought a 2016 ex demo model from Toyota dealership in November 2017. Impressed by the amount of leg room in both front and back seats. Can seat 5 adults comfortably. Air conditioner both for front and rear passengers. If you're like me, upgrading from a non tech savvy vehicle to one that has computerized everything, you really need to read the manual to figure things out as the salesman didn't have a clue. What impressed me was how sensitive the power steering and brakes were. For a second hand car, those were the two things that ...Read more
sold it for me and nothing else. Fuel: The positive side of this car is that it let's you know whether you're driving economically or not by a light on the dash. If you're a lead foot, you're going to feel it at the petrol pump each time you fill the 70ltr tank. I'm still getting used to driving a bigger car, but one thing I'll go on record as saying is that once you figure out how to drive this heavy car, you can easily reduce your highway consumption to 7.2ltr/100kms. Alas, if you live in a city and are prone to taking short, stop-start, brake n' wait trips....you could end up using between 11-13ltr/100kms. It gets pretty expensive driving this car around town. 1 full tank registers the distance you could possibly travel as being 750kms till empty, but I don't believe the computer. Filling up the tank the first time, I noticed the external port was in a much higher position on the body of the vehicle and that the fuel cap didn't need to be tight by listening to three clicks. It just went on very easy and has a leash that prevents you from over tightening it. I figured it must be because of all the computerised fuel bells n' whistles in the car and electronic monitoring of fuel consumption. Steering: Started out light and easy to manoeuvre. Parking was a dream for such a biggish car, but....two weeks after taking possession of the vehicle, an alarm (like the one you hear if the key is in the ignition and you open your door) went off as I was driving in a 60km zone. No warning lights on dash, just the alarm. The steering got a little heavy, so I pulled over, completely stopped the car, and the moment I applied the parking brake (which is on the floor above your left foot rest), the alarm stopped. Turns out that the power steering decided to crap out. This did not impress me. The car was still driveable, but that one finger easy feel to the drive and parking that I previously enjoyed was long gone. Immediate action was required to fix the problem. Brakes: The brakes on this car are good. The only thing I miss is the ability to quickly control and drop speed in an emergency. This car builds up speed quickly and you don't even realise you're over the limit. I miss not having an overdrive button I could click off and brake at the same time, but this car comes with the ability to shift from normal drive mode to sports mode where the engine will automatically kick down to a lower gear to assist you with the need to quickly control the braking ability. No one tells you how to use it properly, which annoyed me. It was one of those things I had to discover for myself. To shift across while driving, you need to have your foot on the brake in order to shift over and down from higher speeds (100+). Do not have your foot on the gas pedal when shifting over as you'll just be dumping fuel and increase consumption to as much as 20ltr+/100kms. I don't recommend driving in sports mode as you're burning fuel at a ridiculous rate. It is great to use on steep hills to assist with braking by engaging the engine braking system by restricting the maximum gear speed your car can travel in. The downside with the system is the computer which is meant to automatically shift into a higher gear to prevent transmissions damage. You can downshift in sports mode to override the correction, but you'll have to reduce your speed by braking normally first. It's never a good idea riding your brakes down steep hills as they will get very hot and you may even feel them shuddering through your steering as they begin to overheat and warp. To test brakes on a second hand car for your test drive (especially if the car has been driven for less than 30,000kms), drive slowly around the car lot and gently depress the brakes. If you hear any knocking noises or groaning from the brakes when bringing the vehicle to a stop, or you're releasing them, don't bother taking it out on the road. Chances are the brakes are warped and will cost you seriously to replace the drums. Don't let the salesman dismiss the noise or feel as mere brake dust, especially when the wheel rims are clean and you can see the brakes through them. Don't even think about driving/buying a car if you notice any rust or discoloration around the wheel area. Interior: This model I bought has black cloth trim which makes the car feel not only luxurious, but also a bit sporty. I like the stitched leather trim across the dash. The centre display is huge with large buttons and most controls can be operated from buttons on your steering wheel. CD player is standard, Bluetooth connectivity for your smartphones and media connectivity. My particular model is NOT equipped with a built in SatNav system. It has two central console cupholders (which are in a really stupid position for the driver as they're on the passenger side of the gear shift, making it easy for the driver to accidentally hit the shifter while driving, spill your coffee and completely miss the cupholders.) It also has bottle holders in all 4 doors and door storage pockets. Rear passengers also have cupholders in the rear central fold down arm rest.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

My Toyota Camry 2008 Model
We bought a T.Camry and we have not looked back, it goes like a dream and very good on fuel. Get one if you can
It is the best car I have ever driven and so Whisper Quiet its a dream car to have & own. I am a pensioner and have a bad back with the T.Camry I can pump up my seat and sit straight into the drivers seat The best buy I have ever had and I have owned lots of cars in my time. I thought the bees knees was the Mitsubishi range but the Toyota wins hands down.

Hybrid Motion
Hybrid motoring with Toyota is fuel efficient, takeoff at the lights is quiet, acceleration draws on the electric motor in the mix. Atara S Hybrid can comfortably do over 1000 Kilometers on a full tank of fuel averaging 5.2 Litres per 100 Kilometers. But I wish it had 19" wheels.

Perfect, love it!
Although I have always had toyota the RZ is the best yet. It has a great sporty look and everyone comments on what a nice looking car it is, it has the get up and go on highway driving, with plenty of room and very comfortable. I can't fault it with capped services making it a very affordable luxury.

It just works - 14 RZ
This car looks better than the average Camry with lot's of eye candy including 17'' black wheels on a white body, black spoiler, blacked out headlights, body kit, vinyl wrapped black bonnet, dark tinted windows, sports suspension, sports exhaust - all from the factory. Very smooth 6 speed auto. The handling has a little over steer in corners but generally very well behaved. There's plenty of grunt from the 4 cylinder for most people.
Pro's: It's a Toyota, therefore it's reliable and long lasting.
The RZ edition looks so much bette...Read more

Toyota RZ
With the engine a known quantity, there’s not really that much to expand upon what we’ve already said in previous Camry reviews. The extra power and torque isn’t something you can feel, but the engine is smooth, effortless and efficient in the real world. The gearbox is also unobtrusive at all speeds, and works nicely to keep the 2.5-litre bubbling along where it’s happiest.

Over rated
Having borrowed this car for a week,
Pros: Economical, roomy, good acceleration, decent sound system
Cons: Road noise, cheap and bland interior, dash gauge functions, Infotainment a nightmare to operate.
Not the easiest or most comfortable car to get in to. In general, driving performance is quite good with reasonable handling and plenty of power under your foot.
The interior is what lets it down in my opinion. Typical Toyota styling has not changed over the years, so expect cheap plastic everywhere. Sat Nav was a right pain to operat...Read more

Good, nice, enough space
I drove a latest Toyota Camry which is my friend's car, and it is quite nice, the transition is smooth and power is enough, you even don't need to hold the brake tidy when you are temporary stopping in a small hill but it could be improved as the accelerate is not really sensitive when the gear is from 1 shifting to 2.

Good Car!
UPDATE: Just over 70,000 K's now are the car runs like a dream. No issues.
The car drives very smooth, handles and runs well. Uses around 9.5L for a 100 Km's in a reality which is great!
The interior looks very nice and feels good. Seats are comfy. 56000K and never has a single issue. Just normal service only.
had lots of safety features. Wish it had reverse parking sensors. That's the only issue.

Questions & Answers
Tiger H.asked
Hello Toyota drivers!
Can you please advise me... Does that 2015 Camry Atara S Hybrid have a GPS unit included as standard factory fitted, or did I read correctly that in 2015, only the SL version came with a GPS?
Thank you everyone in advance...
