Reviewers agree that the 2008 Toyota Camry offers a variety of features that bulk up the Camry’s luxury quotient—as well as its price tag.

The Toyota 2008 Camry offers the following trim levels: CE, LE, sporty SE, and premium XLE. Even on the base CE Camry, Toyota installs a full list of standard features, according to Motor Trend: “16-inch wheels, a tire-pressure warning system, a six-speaker CD audio system, power windows and door locks, cruise control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, electronic throttle control, and seven airbags.”

Kelley Blue Book reports that in the Camry, Toyota offers "additional major options for most of these models include a JBL premium audio system with Bluetooth, power moonroof, leather interior, heated seats, navigation system and the 'Smart Key System' with push-button start (on the XLE with V6)."

Edmunds praises the Toyota 2008 Camry and says "most buyers' needs should be satisfied by the assorted trim levels." However, they do note that "properly equipped, the Camry usually ends up more expensive than most midsize sedans."

Conclusion

Features are a priority for Toyota; 2008’s Camry comes nicely equipped and offers lots of options.

Other Choices:

Except in sporty SE trim, the 2008 Toyota Camry has perhaps the softest, most comfort-oriented ride among mid-size sedans. The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, however, also emphasizes ride quality and comfort, and it has more distinctive styling, equivalent performance, and more impressive materials and quality. The Malibu also includes electronic stability control on all of its models except the base LT. The new-for-2008 Accord has--compared to the Camry--a stunning interior, especially in the more expensive V-6 models. The Fusion and Altima have a sportier driving feel but are a little smaller inside, while the Passat is a good alternative to the Camry--especially with the base 2.0T four-cylinder engine--but beware of spotty reliability.
