2005 & 2006 Toyota Camry
When a car becomes more, it surprises you at every turn. It rejuvenates the senses with every passing mile. And it delivers you to your destination feeling more refreshed than when you started out. Because every new Camry, whether it's the race-inspired SE, the impeccable XLE or the ultra-efficient Camry Hybrid, is engineered to change not just the way you feel about cars, but the way you feel, period.
  
Toyota Camry OverviewAmerica's best-selling sedan.
The Camry is an easy car to drive. There is nothing untoward or strange about it. It does everything just right. An enthusiast driver might complain that it's soft and lacks character, but for the average driver that's a plus. They can buy a Camry then turn their attention back to other, more important matters that don't involve automobiles.
The Camry 's ride is pleasant, verging on luxurious, with enough cushioning to make passengers feel comfortable. The steering is light but not sloppy. The Camry 's soft suspension tuning makes for a smooth, impact-free ride on bumpy pavement. Those who like sportier, more precise handling will notice that the different suspension setup and tires on the SE sedan do make the Camry feel crisper, though it's still not a sports sedan.
You'd never know from driving the car, but the gas pedal is a drive-by-wire affair: Instead of being connected to the engine by a cable, the pedal activates a sensor connected to a computer, just like the controls in modern aircraft. One advantage of this arrangement is that the optional Vehicle Skid Control system can take over the throttle in an emergency and apply just the right amount of throttle and braking to keep the vehicle on a more stable path. Formula 1 racing cars, the fastest cars in the world, use drive-by-wire.
