1997 Toyota Camry V6 review from UK and Ireland
"Quick, quiet and comfortable motoring in complete anonymity"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
NONE.
General comments?
It's lively, it's comfortable and quiet. It feels indestructible. Loads of kit, although I'd like more adjustment on the electric seats and a self dip rear mirror would be nice additions.
Climate control works beautifully, but it's due for a gas change soon.
The three litre engine sounds lovely (what little you can hear of it anyway), and revs cleanly. Auto box always manages to be in exactly the right gear all the time.
On the downside, it's not all that quick for a three litre petrol car; its midrange shove is easily outclassed by the current crop of 2.2ish litre diesels which seem to ram your eyeballs into your head under acceleration.
