Introduced back in 1982, the Camry is actually one of the best selling cars around the world, but hasn't really been able to have the same impact in the UK. Despite this, it clearly has a hugely impressive reputation that could be the makings of a bargain for a savvy buyer. While early generations really were basic, newer models don't hold back in terms of what they offer, and boast a wealth of features you'd expect from a Japanese car.
While the Toyota has come a long way in terms of design since the first model, it's still quite bland when compared to the likes of BMWs or Fords. However that's not a bad thing as it goes about its business without causing a commotion and is the definition of strong and silent. The interior is well designed, comfortable and has a shed load of goodies as standard, so in the value for money stakes it's leagues ahead of the rest. With good levels of practicality and a decent sized boot, the Camry is as happy to take the kids to school and do the weekly shop as it is to transport high flying execs.
Underneath that relatively plain exterior is an excellently engineered car that drives well and isn't short on power. With a plethora of engines to choose from, some standout ones include the 2.2 and V6 3.0 litre petrols. Delivering a decent amount of grunt, they aren't exactly the fastest or most powerful around, but get you there without becoming flustered. The handling is competent and overall you can feel a decent balance.
Toyotas aren't really the most expensive cars around to buy straight off the shelf, but getting a second hand one can mean you save a shed load of money. There are thousands of awesome cars for sale available at Cazoo for considerably less of the cost, and the great thing is that quality is generously high.
