“Camry” means ‘crown’ in Japanese (“Cam-U-Ree”), so here’s my summation of our Crown so far:
It’s great so far; the only complaint I have is the engine–with 3-4 people + stuff aboard, it can barely get out of its own way. In the flat, it’ll happily cruise at 80-90mph, as it’s geared very tall, but it’s hopeless in the mountains. We averaged 26 mpg on our trips in the past two days, which isn’t bad, but it isn’t the 30mpg I was hoping for. Some new tires and a tuneup should fix this.
