Anonymous, FL (2016 Toyota Camry)"I owned a previous Camry for 15 years and it was more comfortable because there is a peripheral block in this 2016 model that wasn't in my 2000 Camry."
Anonymous, TX (2016 Toyota Camry)"accelerates easily, even going up hills"
Anonymous, MO (2016 Toyota Camry)"We have the V6 so it accelerates rapidly."
Anonymous, SC (2016 Toyota Camry)"The options for push-button ease of selecting your driving preference is a beautiful thing. EV mode, though rarely used by me, is a nice option for slow going. When in hybrid mode it's a great gas savings option. But the real excitement is in standard driving mode. I only have the LE model and the acceleration is impressive to say the least. I don't partake in street racing or anything like that, but every now and then I like to slam it down to feel that thrill...my girlfriend thinks I'm ridiculous but whatever."
Michael M., OH (2016 Toyota Camry)"the 6 speed transmission seems to perform better in my `16 model than the trans. in my `18 model."
R H., PA (2016 Toyota Camry)"Steering is stiff & has a dead spot at center. WORK to drive long distance. Turned off lane keeper function as it was beeping all the time.

Anonymous, WA (2016 Toyota Camry)"The 2.5 liter engine with hybrid battery generates 200hp making the acceleration even quicker than my 2003 Camry XLE without the hybrid package. Before purchasing the vehicle, I thought I would be losing performance in this area but it the Camry Hybrid passes my expectations."

David B., AA (2016 Toyota Camry)"Handles well at stops and in turns"
Anonymous, WI (2016 Toyota Camry)"The 2016 Camry has the best acceleration and handling of any car I have purchased or rented. It can take curves like a sports car and accelerate like one."
Phillip K., TX (2016 Toyota Camry)"We just returned from a 4000 mile vacation. We had the tires rotated front to back just before leaving. at about 10000 miles, both front tires (which had been on the rear) were bald down to the fabric and one of them blew on the highway. I would expect original tires to last longer than two years/10,000 miles. These were Firestone tires. We had to get both tires replaced by a Toyota dealer on our vacation for $600. The new tires supposedly have a 60,000 mile warranty and we hope they last for as long as we keep the car. The car handles well and has fine acceleration even for mountain driving."
Anonymous, VA (2016 Toyota Camry)"Acceleration and handling"
Anonymous, SC (2016 Toyota Camry)"This car was supposed to be a fuel sipper. I was not expecting performance. Much to my surprise, it is fast off the line and has plenty of reserve for passing during highway driving."
Anonymous, MD (2016 Toyota Camry)"Really happy with the ability to accelerate around slow moving vehicles on mountain road with only a few passing areas. Very quick 50 to 80. Also like the whine of deceleration to a stop that I think is regenerative braking. Blind spot monitors are very helpful, as is adaptive cruise control."
Stephen B., OR (2016 Toyota Camry)"good, acceleration at take off from 0 mph to 60 mph, and take over on the highway bad, lack of response when braking, too slow when needed."

Melinda C., BC (2016 Toyota Camry)"The fun of a Hybrid is trying to keep the battery level on high snd to do this, one must learn to COAST. One has to look for roads where one can go down a hill and not need to use the gas pedal"
Jill R., CA (2016 Toyota Camry)"Both. Good pickup and response."
Anonymous, AZ (2016 Toyota Camry)"my 2016 Camry has great handling and acceleration - I love my Camry"
Jane L., OH (2016 Toyota Camry)"This car handles remarkably well for for its size and price. Acceleration is very good in most circumstances, especially since it gets up to 40 mpg on the highway. The 6 speed automatic transmission appears to be governed perhaps too much by slight hill inclines and relatively mild changes in accelerator position. Even so, I've very happy with how well this car drives."
Anonymous, CA (2016 Toyota Camry)"My daily commute is 75 miles of stop and go on California freeways. It is critical to have good acceleration and handling for defensive driving here. At first I was concerned that the 4 cylinder would have trouble but this car handles great and has never let me down in a jam."
Anonymous, CA (2016 Toyota Camry)"The Camry is a larger car and can take more stuff. It handles really well, has no trouble going Idaho's 80mph on the interstate. The LE gets pretty good mpg on the road. We traveled down the west coast last summer had no trouble and averaged around 35mpg."

Anonymous, NV (2016 Toyota Camry)"very responsive when requiring increased speed"
Anonymous, CA (2016 Toyota Camry)"Steering and handling felt odd the first year, not confidence-inspiring at speed on curves. Ran snow tires over the winter, rotated original tires the next spring. The problem went away, and it handles fine now. I suspect that different tires will make another improvement."

Barry R., NC (2016 Toyota Camry)"Very quick"
Anonymous, CA (2016 Toyota Camry)"Excellent"
George R., MI (2016 Toyota Camry)"The six speed automatic transmission is excellent for producing acceleration. The Camry is very easy to drive. I wish Toyota would link an audible warning along with the visual warning for blind spot detection. You need to take your eye off the road to see the flashing light in the mirror."
Anonymous, OH (2016 Toyota Camry)"It tracks solid and straight on the freeways. I personally think it is an excellent accelerating car. A person really does not need more in every day driving. It is quick for a 4 cylinder engine. The 6 speed automatic shifts fast and firm when you need it to."
