Around since 1983, the Toyota Camry is a vehicle produced to compete against the Honda Accord. This vehicle was created as a replacement for the rear-wheel-drive Corona and immediately began to rival the Accord in popularity. The 2005 Toyota Camry has maintained that popularity.
Styles of Camry
The 2005 Toyota Camry comes in ten distinct styles. These styles are the Standard in both a manual and automatic, the LE and SE in manual and automatic, the LE V6, the XLE, SE V6 and the XLE V6 (all automatic). The resale value of the vehicle varies greatly on the specific style of the car, with the Standard manual costing the least and the XLE V6 costing the most on comparable vehicles. All Toyota Camrys are four-door vehicles.
Engine
The 2005 Toyota Camry's engine varies as much as the vehicle style. The smallest engine available on the Toyota Camry belongs to the Standard Camry and is a 2.4 liter, four-cylinder engine. The largest and most powerful engine belongs to the SE V6 Camry; it is a 3.3-liter engine with a V6. The standard engine gets the best gas mileage of the group, with a 25 miles per gallon average; the higher engines average 21 mpg.
Features
Anti-lock brakes are standard in all 2005 Camrys--in previous years, they were not. MacPherson struts are standard on all four wheels, with a dual-link system in the rear suspension. Disk brakes are standard on the front wheels and disks or drums are on the rear wheels.
Crash Ratings
The 2005 Toyota Camry does not have side impact airbags. However, in crash tests, the Toyota Camry did well overall, receiving a rating of "good." The Camry received five stars on frontal crash testing and four stars on a side impact crash for front passenger seating, with three stars scored for the rear seating. The Camry is unlikely to roll over in an accident, with only a 11% chance.
Recalls
There is one recall for the 2005 Toyota Camry as of March 2010. This recall is for the front buckle assembly. This defective buckle assembly may not properly latch and could cause a rear facing infant car seat to be detected as an unbuckled adult, activating the airbag in a collision.
