2009 Toyota Camry XLE

The Camry is Toyota's mid-size sedan, the one most people cross-shop with the Accord and Altima. It's a smooth, quiet cruiser that soaks up highway miles without fuss, though the steering is light and numb. Inside, the cabin is roomy and comfortable, with a large trunk that swallows luggage and even furniture. Owners praise the Camry's reliability and low maintenance costs, with many reporting trouble-free miles well past 100,000. Stepping up to the XLE gets you the V6 and a long list of comfort features, making it the most luxurious Camry you could buy that year. The 3.5L V6 makes 268 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, giving the sedan effortless highway passing and a 0-60 time in the mid-six-second range. The XLE's standard leather upholstery and dual-zone automatic climate control are upgrades you won't find on the LE or SE trims.
