What Owners Say
"The acceleration from a stop is aggravating. No matter how lightly you try to push on the pedal, the car lurches. Neither of us are able to make a smooth start. The dealer/service dept. said this is the way this model is. We have a 2010 Camry XLE 4 cyl."
TOM A., NC (2010 Toyota Camry)"when shifting (automatic) with cold engine, it struggles to go into the next gear but once it warms up it shifts just fine."
Anonymous, AR (2010 Toyota Camry)"1+ second delay from gas pedal to actual acceleration. Not what you buy a V6 for!"
Anonymous, CA (2010 Toyota Camry)"gas mileage is less than expected. My 2002 Camry gets better mileage so I am disappointed Toyota went backwards on this"
Anonymous, TX (2010 Toyota Camry)"The car has very good acceleration when trying to pass."
Anonymous, VT (2010 Toyota Camry)"From a stop, it is hard to accelerate smoothly. It tends to jerk at initial acceleration. We took it in to the dealership soon after purchase but they said everything was fine. This is our only complaint about the vehicle."
AMY B., VA (2010 Toyota Camry)"The handling of the car is stiff yet not compliant with the road. The firmness of the ride is nothing more than a hard ride that is in no whatsoever a better suspension designed for improved handling. It leaves the impression of being an industrial design. The engine seems to run smoothly but more torque over a broader and higher rpm range is needed. More horsepower/torque are needed and the fuel consume is excessive. The transmission shifting is not smooth and was often abrupt under load."
VERONIKA A., CA (2010 Toyota Camry)"Weak accelleration due to 4 cyl engine. Weak A/C, takes a good while to blow cooler. However, that could be due to the fact that it's summer in Texas, about 10 months out of 12."
K J., TX (2010 Toyota Camry)"We still have problems with the acceleration even after the recall."
Anonymous, MO (2010 Toyota Camry)"Very fast when needed. Blew the doors off a new Ram Hemi Truck between lights one night. Amazing acceleration."

Anonymous, CA (2010 Toyota Camry)"Acceleration and handling"
Anonymous, CA (2010 Toyota Camry)"The car doesn't have great emergency acceleration. If we have to floor it, the car is a bit sluggish. That can be frightening when you need the car to accelerate quickly and it doesn't. The Camry isn't the best in tight corners--the car tends to drift a little. It doesn't skid (we don't drive all that fast), but it doesn't hug the corners."
Anonymous, NM (2010 Toyota Camry)"Poor acceleration at highway speeds ( noticeable hesitation when trying to pass or quick acceleration on an onramp)"
JOEL C., CA (2010 Toyota Camry)"I keep my Camry is regularly services at the Toyota dealership but it hesitates noticeably, especially when cold. Handling is good but it is definitely designed for comfortable since rollout on corners is quite noticeably."
