Abby Reid asked:


Toyota has existed in the automotive industry since the 1930s. These automotive manufacturing giants have gained great popularity throughout the years. The reason behind Toyota’s popularity is the reliability of the automobiles they’ve manufactured.Toyota vehicles are preferred worldwide due to their very low maintenance costs, top class interiors, eye catchy exteriors and the perfect aerodynamics. There are four very popular cars currently produced by Toyota. Let’s review these models and the outstanding features of the ‘4 Best Toyota Cars’.

1. The Spacious Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry is well known for its riding comfort. The very generous leg room and the spacious design makes the Camry the most ideal car for long trips. Not only is the Toyota Camry spacious but it’s powerful too. Though it is a family Sedan, the Camry’s engine is highly powered. This powerful engine is extremely quiet and you won’t feel any vibration inside the cabin. The Toyota Camry also comes in hybrid options too. The Camry is really an attention grabber. The excellent headlight assembly and the fog lamps make the front end of the car look magnificent. Great riding comfort with a powerful engine and great looks makes Toyota Camry a great value-for-money vehicle.

2. The Compact Hatchback - Toyota Matrix

The Matrix is a product manufactured by the joint venture of two automotive giants - Toyota and General Motors. With lots of safety features and great looks, the Matrix is the best Hatchback available today. Though the older models of the Matrix lacked power; the innovative Matrix XRS comes with a very powerful engine. With the inclusion of a sporty suspension and a five speed gear box, the Toyota Matrix XRS offers great riding comfort. Though the Toyota Matrix is a bit disappointing in terms of acceleration, the fuel efficiency will keep owners of the Matrix delighted. There is a superior model of Matrix to be released in 2009.

3. The Mid-Sized Hybrid Car – Toyota Prius

The innovative design of the Toyota Prius makes it one of the most futuristic cars ever produced by Toyota or any other company. The egg shaped profile of the Prius is really eye catchy. With sufficient acceleration and low emissions, the Prius is the best family car from Toyota.

The Corolla is the best selling car today. The Toyota Corolla has taken many forms since its introduction in 1968 – a sedan, a coupe, a hatchback and a wagon. With great pricing, excellent fuel efficiency, fabulous looks, and enormous power, the modern-day Toyota Corolla is the most perfect sedan available on the market today.

jessica.florian13 asked:


My boyfriend has a mildly beaten up but still well running 1993 Toyota Camry. We recently got into a minor accident in which we exchanged car paint with the other car and knocked out our right front blinker light. We didn’t break the anything on the front or dent it, it just stopped working. Please help?

Toyota Camry Hybrid Review - the Pros and Cons

Monday, November 17th, 2008
toyota camry
Craig F Stevens asked:


It is said that as a hybrid the Toyota Camry hybrid does not have the same performance capabilities as the conventional sedan, but I would venture to say that as a moderate recreational driver, this car has all the performance capabilities one would need.

The Toyota Camry Hybrid is a more spacious, luxurious, comfortable version of Toyota’s popular Prius hybrid, with equally impressive fuel economy. The Camry hybrid lacks the aspects of the Prius that some buyers might find off-putting, such as the compact size. The Camry hybrid establishes a perfect balance of fuel economy, ‘green’ living, and a functional family sedan.

The electric qualities of the Toyota Camry hybrid are subtle compared to its counter parts. While driving the Toyota Prius, the driver can tell when the gas engine has shut off and the car’s power is coming from the battery. Likewise, one can also tell when the gas engine has kicked back on, and the car is needing more power than the battery can provide. This is not the case with the Toyota Camry Hybrid. This car offers a smooth, seamless ride. One has to be really paying attention to the engine to determine which source is powering the car.

With the 2008 model’s reduced retail price, and the high gas prices facing our nation, the Toyota Camry Hybrid is a breath of fresh air. As far as I’m concerned, nothing available right now can match the quietness, comfort, and fuel economy of the Toyota Camry hybrid.

Camrys Have a Problem

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Gary Powers asked:


From www.caroftheday.org

I have a small problem.  I don’t care for the Toyota Camry.  And when I say “I don’t care” I really mean “I wish I had a Spy Hunter style missile launcher to destroy them.”

 

If there was a Camry Haters Anonymous I would attend the meetings and introduce myself with “Hi, my name is Gary, I’m a Camry Hater.”

Why do I hate the bestselling car in America?  It is kind of a long story.  I recognize that a Toyota Camry is a well made car.  If you own a Camry, I mean no personal offense, but the Camry has no soul. 

A Camry wasn’t made for people who like cars.  A Camry has no idea of what is fun about driving.  A  Camry represents what would happen if Consumer Reports ruled the world. 

If you have no passion about driving or cars, if you only care about getting from point A to point B, if you think of your car and your dishwasher in the same thought, then the Camry is right for you. 

A Dishwasher and a car in the same thought? There isn’t a “The Truth about Dishwashers” website for a reason.  A dishwasher is a dishwasher.  It is a simple appliance that makes your life easier.  People aren’t enthusiastic about their dishwashers.  Even the yahoos at MTV don’t have a “Pimp My Dishwasher” show to further help the youth of America’s brain to leak out of their collective ear. 

Paul Walker and Vin Diesel won’t be starring in a film entitled the “The Clean and the Cleanliness”, that highlights the underground world of dishwasher racing.  We won’t hear cheesy lines like “I clean my dishes in a high speed, no spot cycle, in those ten minutes or less I’m free.” or “Ask any dishwasher, any real dishwasher, it doesn’t matter whether you clean your dishes with a drop or a gallon, clean is clean!” 

 

That is because a dishwasher is a freaking appliance! There is nothing to be passionate about, it is just an appliance. 

And that is my problem with the Camry, it is an appliance.  It has no sporting soul.  It’s not that “fun-to-drive” is low on the Camry’s priority list; it is that “fun-to-drive” isn’t even on the list, or on the list next to the list of good things about a Camry.

This hatred for the Camry is contagious to other cars that are related to the Camry. 

Whenever I see a Lexus ES, I don’t see Lexus’ excellent entry level luxury sedan.  I don’t see a car that is an amazing combination of value, quality and luxury.  I see a tarted up Camry!  I see Toyota tricking people in buying “Fancy Camrys”.  I’m ticked at Toyota for tricking these people into buying a dressed up Camry. 

When I see a Toyota Avalon I simply see a bloated over-sized Camry.  The Corolla is simply a mini-Camry wannabe.  A Highlander? I don’t see Christopher Lambert on his quest to be “The One.” I see a Camry SUV. 

And the worst offender, the worst pretender, the most confusing vehicle of all is the Toyota Solara.  I seriously can’t believe that people buy this car.  I would rather eat glass than own a Solara. 

I just want to grab the Solara owners and ask them “what were you thinking?”  Were they even thinking?  The Toyota Solara is an automotive oxymoron.  It is the sporty Camry.  I can’t imagine someone being a the car lot looking at a Camry thinking “this is a fine car and can probably do a fine job of cleaning my dishes, I wonder if there is a bloated coupe version of this car with a lame name?” 

 

Do they even know that they just bought a Camry coupe?  Or are they unsuspecting victims thinking they bought the cool Toyota coupe? 

Because the Camry appeals to the people who don’t care about the joy of driving it attracts a disproportionate amount of bad drivers.  The next time you on the road and there is an obliviot (oblivious idiots) doing a famous job of horrible driving, more often than not it will be a Camry or Camry-base vehicle. I’m talking about cars doing a 14-point turn on a 2 lane road, cars backing up the entrance ramp, cars sitting through green lights and driving 15 miles under the posted speed limit. 

So that is my cross to bear.  I hate the bestselling car in the country and am forced to see them everywhere.   And if you hear of some horrible Camry hate crimes I promise it wasn’t me.

PS - There is one exception to my blanket Camry hate and that is the new V6 SE it has a bit of soul and some respectable performance numbers.
