Overview:
There's a lot to like about the sublimely smooth new Toyota Camry. Just 15 minutes behind the wheel and you'll understand why it's a best-seller, and why it actually soared to the top of the national sales charts in June 1994. Clearly one of the best midsize family sedans under $25,000, it shares much of the look and feel of its kissing cousin, the Lexus ES 300, but sells for thousands less.Compared with its chief competitors, the Ford Taurus and Honda Accord, the Camry is a little more expensive, but many dealers are offering buyer-friendly lease packages to make it easier to get past the relatively high suggested retail prices.
And if you're a member of the 'buy American' camp, you might be surprised to learn that Toyota Motor Manufacturing in George-town, Kentucky, is the sole worldwide builder of the new Camry wagon and coupe, and that it manufactures almost three-quarters of all the Camrys sold in the United States.
Like Honda, Toyota is rapidly becoming a major exporter of U.S.-built automobiles. Since its total re-design three years ago, the Camry has been Toyota's bread-and-butter car, the all-around midsize family ma-chine that is by far the company's biggest seller. Like its sedan and coupe siblings, the Camry Wagon is meant to meet the needs of a wide range of buyers, from those seeking solid basic transportation to the luxury-minded. That's a tall order.
The Camry faces some tough opponents. Honda, for example, offers the excellent Accord Wagon, similarly equipped, for about the same price as a Camry. It's possible to buy a Ford Taurus Wagon or Mercury Sable Wagon with more features for a little less. And there are a few other manufacturers that have wagons that compete with the Camry in terms of price, package and size, too.
But Toyota didn't earn its reputation with smoke and mirrors. The Camry Wagon has been given the virtues it needs - style, solidity and comfort, among them - to face head-to-head comparison with almost everyone else's wagons and not be found lacking.
One major Camry advantage is its use of major exterior, structural and mechanical components from the more expensive Lexus ES 300. In theory, a luxury car with a few amenities removed should be an impressive product. That's how it works in the Camry's case.
OK, now for the best part. The key turns, the tachometer springs into action...but that's about as far as the signs of engine life go. No vroom, not even a hum; no jolt, not even a sway - the engine is all set to boogie, and, aside from some slight vibration at idle, it's hard to even tell it's running.
How did they do that? How did they create this whisper-quiet engine? The combination of hydraulic engine mounts, extra insulation and rubber mounted chassis subframes is one explanation.
And, as with the Lexus, the Camry has a fully independent suspension, so it feels as if it's soaking up bumps, potholes and other irregularities in the road.
The overall handling was impressive, but not exceptional. You don't get the sporty, road-hugging feeling that a lot of drivers love. But the steering is accurate and quick to respond, and if the Camry's cornering isn't exactly zealous, it's certainly confident.
Confident is a word that also applies to our test car's ability to stop. The brakes were excellent on both wet and dry pavement, with good stopping distances and very good control. Our test car was equipped with ABS, which was an extra-cost option. But considering the importance of this active safety feature, and the importance of safety in new-car buying today, we think ABS should be standard equipment on all models.
Acceleration in our Camry was spunky. We'd call the car's passing power adequate, although the V6 would provide quicker response, as well as passing performance not far short of dramatic.
Overall, expect about 24 mpg with regular unleaded fuel. Toyota claims that the 4-cylinder gets between 21 and 23 mpg in the city, and between 28 and 31 mpg on the open road. Meanwhile, the V6 requires premium unleaded fuel and averages about 21 mpg.
Although the Camry's ride and general performance are very good compared with its competitors, where this car really excels is in the area of interior noise. There isn't any. Even at freeway speeds, you can carry on a conversation at living-room decibel levels, even with rear-seat passengers.
The Camry is quieter than any of its midsize rivals, as well as many luxury cars costing thousands more. Nothing emphasizes the Camry Wagon's solid-citizen image as effectively as a test drive. It matters not at all whether the trip is across town or across the country.
In any driving situation, the Camry is rock-solid, smooth and efficient. Most of the time it's quiet, too, though the engine (we're talking about the V6, mind you) gets noisy when asked to pick up speed quickly, as would be the case on freeway on-ramps.
On a long cruise, the Camry is thoroughly pleasant. Wind and mechanical noises are nearly nonexistent, as are any squeaks or rattles, leaving only sound generated by tire treads - more than we expected - to intrude. The Camry is a soft-riding wagon, one that won't jolt its occupants even when they're traveling over poor road surfaces.
The downside to the pillowy ride is a distinct shortage of driving pleasure. Despite its light curb weight, the Camry feels ponderous, floating over bumps and leaning heavily through turns.
The steering is light and not particularly precise. These are traits one might expect to find in an older full-size domestic wagon, but not in a Toyota.
A side benefit to ordering the V6 engine is the replacement of the rear drum brakes with discs. The all-disc system provides sure stopping power, and can be augmented with optional anti-lock brakes (ABS). Four-wheel discs are also supplied when ABS is ordered on 4-cylinder models.
