Directly and quickly. In his strip of avenue or along the highway leaving the horizon. It doesn't matter if it is unimportant
Outside, everyone knows her. Camry has been loved in Russia for a long time. Nobody offered a quality car for this money yesterday. Plus, high -quality in the case of Toyota means not at all what with the offspring of noble European clans. Reliable. Good introductory for popularity in Russia among ... the circle of those who prefer Toyota racks in our comparison, is true and constant. Let's try to put ourselves in their place and look around
INSIDE. It is spacious here. It is spacious not only from behind on a leather sofa, but also in a driver's place. The imposing chair is fully electrified and absolutely indifferent to the width of the master's scam. A convenient steering wheel of small diameter and optestone devices: those details that appeared here thanks to the proprietary belonging of the machine and contrary to its character: everything else is much calmer and not designed so brightly. Nominal wooden inserts, a transparent, slightly bluish shield of climate and sound block, high -quality plastic of the finish panels. When you start moving and looking at the surrounding road world
From the inside, Camry, it looks completely different than because of any other steering wheel. The car does not welcome the excess of mobility and efficiency in the traffic flow. Any active maneuvering does not have a cotton brake, nor squats and slander of the body, or delayed responses to manipulation with a steering wheel. The bodies of the body are great, and the limit of tire adhesion is closer than that of any other of the subjects. Reactions to small movements of the gas pedal dissolve somewhere in the hydrotransformer of the machine. But this box perfectly understands the confident opening of the engine throttle, regularly passing the wheels to torque: with accelerated dynamics, everything is very good even with the initial in -line four 2.4.
Directly and quickly. In his strip of avenue or along the highway leaving the horizon. It doesn’t matter if it is unimportant: a developed tire profile and a soft suspension at speed swallow everything. Stability on the straight line and in the range of five points. With comfort, everything is not so smooth: it is a hand on the shock absorber, we admit that the setting of the chassis was carried out after the sleeves. Such a soft suspension today should not react so nervously to small irregularities at low speed. Yes, and the unsubstantiated masses could behave quieter.
Against the background of the rest, Camry is unique enough to remain indispensable in its niche: a high -quality vehicle for from A B. Reliable, Japanese and recognized by society as a reasonable investment in comfort, convenience and status. Despite the fact that Mondeo now does not lag behind in size, the essence of these machines is still so different that Ford is unlikely to be able to select many potential buyers from Camry. Yes, and Russian registration will help this machine still confidently feel in the market.

The big Japanese in the American taste and the Russian bestseller today was not the largest
DESIGN
The first show of 1980, the new model of 2007. Design under the leadership of Vahei Hirai.
OUTSIDE
Some dullness of the design that distinguishes Toyota in recent years, in this comparison becomes more noticeable. But the car is recognizable, which is important for the business class. It is distinguished by the excessive and even obsessive puffiness of the front and rear lighting, the excessive relief of the corners of the bumper and the independence of the trunk cover, which is clearly solved under the influence of the BMW style, but less successful and whole. The drawing of the radiator cladding can hardly be called memorable, although thanks to an integrated emblem and it becomes a bearer of a corporate identity. The silhouette is moderately dynamic, which favorably distinguishes it, for example, from Mazda from behind the impression of integrity is reduced by the obsessions of the chubby corners of the bumper and the beglass of rear lighting.
INSIDE
The best interior in the test. Optronic devices of a very high class, which, together with the highest level of harmonization of the color factory and the original cut of seats, creates a favorable impression. Surprisingly, he is not even spoiled by huge trim over a tree on the upholstery of the doors; In their purity, there is even something from national Japanese art.
