2006 Camry Review Summary & Specifications
The 2006 Toyota Camry pleases many buyers and offends none. It is remarkable for its lack of identifiable flaws. It's quiet, comfortable and refined. It's reliable. Its controls are easy to operate. The Solara coupe has a genuinely useful back seat and a good-sized trunk. The Solara convertible offers the freedom of being able to drop the top. Both offer top levels of quality, durability and reliability.New Car Test Drive correspondent John Rettie filed the original report and is based in Santa Barbara, California.
