This weeks car is a Toyota Camry.
It’s spacious, brand new (1200 miles on it) and comfortable.
I’ve driven 300 miles in it already and it still has about half a tank of fuel left which is good here.
The seats are comfortable and look sporty, but aren’t heated, which considering the spec of the car, I find surprising.
This is the first of the modern Camrys I’ve driven and it’s a decent drive.
The thing I found interesting is the self driving function, this can be engaged and works better than the variable cruise control I had in December in the Mazda CX-5.
There’s no jumpy performance to this one, but engaging the full self driving function allows you to let the car drive, and stay in the lane you’re in. It works pretty well when you e to stay in a lane but seems to favour following the passenger side of the road, so if the lane splits, it wants to leave the road.
Other than that, the car is pretty good and definitely one built for long journeys.
The handling is decent and it has many good traits, although to use Bluetooth fully, you need to download an app and register it with Toyota. Great if you own the car, not so much if you are renting it.
I plugged in and used CarPlay instead.
