My husband and I began our car search at Saturn (LS2) and then went to Nissan (Maxima SE) When we were driving the Maxima the salesman said they compete with the Toyota Avalon. I had never heard of it- so we stopped at the Toyota dealership. The Avalon was a little out of our price range- so we drove the Camry XLE. A mile into the test drive I knew this was the car for me. The drive is very smooth and quiet. All the controls were within reach and placed well.

I had to have all the options. I wanted leather, sunroof, spoiler, 6 disc in dash CD player, V-6, climate control. Everything you can get on a Camry I got.

My car is fun to drive with quick responses while at the same time giving me the comfortable ride I had grown accustomed to with my old Ford Taurus.

Another plus is the size of the gas tank- 18.5 gallons. I like not having to go to the gas station every 5 days.
