To me, the 4-cylinder Camry is perfectly adequate. The only times I sometimes wish for a little more power is when passing on 2-lane roads, but this is a rarity for me. Most major roads that I use have 4 lanes, and often the 2-lane roads are so hilly or curvy that passing zones are few.

"but a Camry or an Accord-type vehicle with an automatic transmission is simply too much of a load for a smaller I4 engine as far as highway handling is concerned. "
 
Get a manual transmission Camry, like I did!

I have a really long commute (45 miles one way...) and I know myself well enough to know that I would regret such a purchase. I drove a 5-speed Accord for 7 years and it was a blast on the open road but a real drag in stop-and-go traffic.

Just as today's V6 has the power of yesterday's (last century, really) V8 but with better FE, today's I4 equals...V6. Along with BIG improvements in torque converters.

I'm buying a 2010 Camry LE and don't like the hub caps. Would I be better off getting the Alloy Wheels at purchase, think it adds another $400-$500 or go after market and add my own rims later on. I'd like to get chrome wheels if there not too expensive and I'm not sure how the metal wheels would hold up that I've been seeing on the internet. I'd like the spend less then $200 per wheel.
 
Thanks,
Chris

Any advice on getting a good deal? by jason50

I have decided to pursue a base model 2010 Camry instead of an Accord. I haven't bought a new car in years, so don't know what has changed since then as far as tactics. Any strategy that you guys used to get a good deal on the 2010 Camry? Any rebates, incentives, etc. out there right now? Also, i went to a dealership after it closed since i didn't feel like talking to a salesguy yet to check out the new Camrys. I noticed the sales sticker on window didn't specify if it was a 2009 or 2010, so how can i find out? Thanks.

Obama's clash for clunkers by jason50

Also, i read about this yesterday. My old 97' Honda comes out to 19 MPG,so it doesn't qualify for this clash for clunkers deal. Is there a way to get something from this program? I understand that the government site says to be eligible, you need 18 MPG to get $3500. I am wondering considering how close my old Honda is to the requirement, maybe i can get some $$ for it. Thanks.

I'd recommend the Toyota alloys. That way, you get the Toyota warranty and if something goes wrong, you won't have to go back and forth between the dealer and the aftermarket installer.

Edmunds has tons of advice about the car-buying process. Just click away right on this site. Also, they have specific info on Camry rebates and incentives. The factory window sticker (not ones applied by the dealer) will state the model year. Also the 10th digit of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) will be a "9" for a 2009 model and an "A" for a 2010. The VIN is visible through the windshield on the driver side of the dashboard, down low near the glass. It's also on the factory window sticker.
 
Also check out Toyota.com for more information regarding specs, options, etc.
 
Your '97 Accord isn't eligible for "cash for clunkers." To get the most money for it, you should try selling it yourself rather than trading it in. A dealer will give you next to nothing for it, assuming average miles and condition.

If there is a service and/or parts dept. entrance I go in that way. Otherwise I just tell the first approaching vulture that I'm only there to pick up parts.
