The navigation system is easy to program, but it absorbs and complicates some audio functions.
Consumer Guide
The base 2011 Toyota Camry includes air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a CD sound system—enough to please the most frugal buyers, especially considering the sticker price is around $20,000.
Base and LE Camry models can be optioned with an upgraded audio system with Bluetooth, a USB port, MP3, and streaming music capability. A 440-watt JBL audio system (with Bluetooth technology) is standard on the XLE, as are keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, heated mirrors, and a garage-door opener. A DVD-based navigation system, heated seats, leather upholstery, and a Smart Key entry system with push-button start are all optional on the XLE and SE.
The 2011 Toyota Camry delivers on its value proposition, at least in the lower trim levels. But a fully loaded Camry can run well into the $30,000 range, where it seems out of place compared to some of the other vehicles in that price category.
Conclusion
With a wide range of trim levels and base prices, the 2011 Toyota Camry should, from a value standpoint, appeal to many mid-size sedan shoppers.
