The Toyota Camry improves its fuel efficiency for 2010 with a new 2.5-liter engine and six-speed automatic transmission. This new powertrain combination delivered an impressive 26 mpg overall in our testing – fairly remarkable for a family sedan. In addition to the extra gear and .1-liters of displacement for the base model, now all Toyota Camrys are equipped with stability control. This ESC system improved the Camry’s at-the-limit handling in our testing.

While the Camry may not register high on the fun-to-drive scale for enthusiasts, it does offer a lot for the money. We paid just under $23,000 for our LE which proved to be a very roomy, comfortable, and smooth riding sedan. No wonder it’s been such a sales success. It is simply a sensible and pleasant car.
