Member3440
Exterior styling
not white bread-different enough from all the rest.
chunky but elegant.american design and history
Interior styling
simple but sporty-lots of cubby holes and capacity.
the gt model has leather accented seats and logo.
efficient use and ease of cargo handling.seats all come down easily for more space including front
passenger.stylish dash and gauges-easily read
Powertrain performance
with 5 speed manual 2.4 camry drivetrain will top
out at 125 mph-7.9 0-60.not bad for about 26 mpg.
drivetrain good for 200m plus
Fuel economy
considering weight 3075lb-its quiet and rides
nice my 26 overall with the performance engine
is the perfect middle for me.
Audio & nav systems
great-320 watts,7 speakers w/10" sub,satellite xm,
mp3 input.onstar hands free cellphone and emergency
contact gps.
Quietness
it was so quiet at idle that i started it when it was
running.now i look at the tach to be sure
Reliability & durability
going by reputation but i once had a toyota tercel
stick and i only did one clutch in 270M miles and
when inspected for emissions the engine still had
factory specs.they do put out water to tailpipe
but vibe is stainless steel muffler a refinement.
Materials & workmanship
workmanship a+++ but interior plastic will scratch
if dinged.
Feature availability
the gt comes with everything except remote start,
heated mirrors and seats,seats manual.no factory
turbo available -thats it.
Front seat support & comfort
compared to my sons beamer i like the higher more
cushioned feel.this car is higher in design than
any ive seen.the gt leather seats sort of wrap
around you-very comfotable
