Toyota Camry 2.4 A/T (Old)

The Camry's comfort-oriented set-up comes to the fore here: it's a phenomenal cruiser, with a superb ride (even with the taller, stiffer springs) and is quite stable though the Camry tends to tramline and wander around at high speeds. The handling is unenthusiastic, but it doesn't bite — it just doesn't like being hustled. The vague steering is disappointing — it's usefully light in the city, but on the highway, it feels dead on-centre. The best things to do is throttle back, and enjoy the cloud-like ride; the suspension thumps over bad bumps. There's no traction control, unlike the others, but the ABS-equipped brakes are absolutely fantastic.
