The combination of two words whose meaning is apparently contradictory called an oxymoron, like "living dead", "dangerously safe", "almost pregnant" and "Camry Sport.

Though as strange as it may seem, in short, the car has a certain logic. A typical Camry is well known for its comfortable ride, soft as a marshmallow itself, its direction unclear and the lack of driving pleasure. But the SE version of the Toyota sedan seems to avoid being characterized as boring.

Yet, Toyota sells so many copies of the Camry every year we have to realize one thing: driving dynamics do not reflect the priority of everyone, and should not be either. That may well offer the SE sport to those shopping for a Mazda6 or Ford Fusion?

The Camry SE has aerodynamic additions that provide a little more style to its familiar form, like a front bumper, a rear diffuser, side skirts and a spoiler on the trunk. Personally, I would not get a Camry without these additions. In fact, as they can give the car a sportier look, a competitor like the Suzuki Kizashi is not displayed and no one looks much sexier.

The interior offers a feeling industrial. In addition, alignment of parts of the dashboard is poor, and that's since the consolidation of the sedan for the 2007 vintage. The mixture of dark gray and light gray is nothing exciting. However, all orders well designed, with large buttons and rotary controls easy to use air conditioning, comes to forgive part of monotony.

I wish the driver's seat cushion can be lowered further because my head is tickled by the ceiling while driving: would recline, for it would be inappropriate cons with my usual driving position. The leather seat surfaces are slippery, and with little lateral support, it bustles constantly on the seat in the curves, or it grips the steering wheel.

The space at the back, very generous, three adults can sit on the bench with little chicane. Trunk space, meanwhile, excels with its 425 liters.

I would also like that you can get Bluetooth connectivity without having to opt for all leather and transparent panel. Yes, you can buy a module at the dealership BLU Logic, unfortunately it does not buttons mounted behind the wheel. It would also be nice to have the USB audio da chain without using a group of options $ 3,130.

Under the hood lies the 4-cylinder 2.5-liter 16-valve engine introduced recently by Toyota: it develops 179 horsepower (10 more than in the LE and XLE versions) and a torque of 171 lb-ft. A 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode is also included, since they can not get manual gearbox in Canada.

The 0-100 km / h in 9.2 seconds making, which is not so bad, and one of the fastest in our recent comparison of mid-size sedan. It does not feel as fast when driving more inspired, because the 6-speed automatic will be slow to react, even in sport mode, for the sake of fuel economy. Traction control is hibernating all summer, since it will probably never apply until there is no snow on the ground.

Speaking of fuel economy, our one-week trial ended with an average of 9.1 L/100 km, which is more than acceptable.

At full throttle, the engine becomes noisy, only by adopting a more relaxed driving, the interior of the Camry is quiet. The turnover of the car is comfortable, obviously, and the suspension so-called "sport tuned" pleasantly surprised us: not by its rigidity, but by how it makes the car more enjoyable to drive. Note that we did not say "exciting to drive, since management is still unclear at the center, which does not inspire to go hunting for twisty roads.

The base price for a Camry SE 4 cylinder falls to $ 27,755, while the band leather and transparent panel said earlier on our test car bringing the total to $ 30,885. For the price, a Suzuki Kizashi appears smaller but more captivating than the Camry, if a sports sedan is your cup of tea of course.

2nd gen Toyota Passo launched in Japan!





Toyota Passo


Toyota has launched the 2nd generation Toyota Passo in Japan, and it now comes in two ‘body styles’ called the regular Passo and the Passo + Hana which is supposed to be the more stylish and upmarket model with features such as projector headlamps. They seem to be taking an “Alphard and Vellfire” or “Noah and Voxy” two styling for one model approach to alot of their JDM models now.


The car has alot more curves to it now, compared to the first generation Passo which was cute but had alot of straight lines in its design language such as in the headlamps and the way the front hood met the bumper. But most of us were just never familiar with that as Perodua had softened those lines in the Myvi, for example the Myvi’s headlamps are more rounded and the front hood became more shapely.




Toyota Passo + Hana


In Japan, the new Passo will be available with either a 1.0 liter or a 1.3 liter engine. The 4-speed auto has been phased out – now all models including 4WD versions come with a CVT transmission. The 1.0 liter uses the 1KR-FE that produces 69 PS (51kW) at 6,000rpm and 92Nm of torque at 3,600rpm.


The 1.3 liter engine is the new 1NR-FE which replaces the K3-VE in the previous generation car. The 1NR-FE now has dual variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust valves. Power output is 95 PS (70kW) at 6,000rpm and 121Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, which is up from the K3-VE’s 86hp (64kW) and 116Nm.



As with the previous Passo, it is a shared model with Daihatsu. A wheelbase of 2,440mm which is the same as the current Passo/Boon/Myvi models hints that most of the platform has been carried over, probably with some refinements here and there.


Will we see this new Passo coming to Malaysia as a new Myvi? The other question is how much of the Japanese model will get transferred over in the process – will we get the new Dual VVT-i engine, the CVT transmission and the column-mounted shifter?


In any case, look after the jump for a full gallery showing you front, rear, side and interior views of the new car.

Toyota Corolla Test Drive

Toyota Romania gave us the opportunity to drive test their cars so we can write our impressions on TheCarsBlog. First car in out series of tests is the Corolla Sedane, a small car that offers a great driving experience and it’s size doesn’t harm the comfort.

We have tested the 2.0-liter D-4D engine, with 4 cilinders, 16 DOHC valves, solenoid common-rail direct injection. It’s engine produces 126 hp at 3,600 rpm and a torque of 221 lb-ft, at 2000 - 2,800 rpm. This is the most powerful engine Toyota offers for this car and can reach a top speed of 200 km/h.

It reaches 100 km/h in 10.3 seconds, which is very good for a car of it’s class, i haven’t had any trouble with overtakes. Also it’s safety is guaranteed by the 16-inch front disc brakes and respectively 15-inch rear discs, with front MacPherson suspension and rear torsion bar, that ensures an increased stability. Those, along with the VSC + TBA systems kept me confident that the car will sit on the road in the most extreme conditions, even on sand or wet track.


If the inevitable occurs and you have an accident, then there are 9 airbags to help you and front seats that feature a Impact Protection System ( WIL ). For your kids safety there are two ISO anchor points for kid seats.

The tested Corolla sports a 6 speed manual gearbox that only needs a touch to change speeds, offering you the possibility to change them very fast, if you want to have a sportive driving.

We haven’t missed anything with it, it’s powerful, comfortable and has all the features you need and even more. It’s steering wheel is covered in leather for your comfort. The interior is very stylish, with quality materials and easy to reach controls. What i’ve noticed is the lighting control, near the steering wheel that i weren’t used with. At the most cars is placed near the door, on the panel and it seems more useful like that to me.

There are lots of options you can choose from, like automatic lights, rain sensor, cruise control, electrocromatic mirror, iPod integration kit, front and rear parking sensor, alloy rims, ski support, 4 different motorizations and manual or automatic gearbox.

We weren’t impressed very much by the exterior design, it doesn’t have something that will draw my attention on the road, but also it’s not ugly. It’s a simple cute car that would make any driver fell in love with it.

The engines available are as following:
  • 1.4-liter VVT-i: 4 cylinders, 16 DOHC valves, electronic injection, 10.5:1 compression rate, 97 hp at 6,000 rpm, 96 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm, 5 speed manual transmission. Top speed of 170 km/h and reaches 0 to 100 km/h in 13 seconds.

  • 1.6-liter Dual VVT-i: 4 cylinders, 16 DOHC valves, electronic injection, 10.2:1 compression rate, 124 hp at 6,000 rpm, 115 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm. Top speed of 195 km/h and reacher 100 km/h in 10.4 seconds with the 5 speed manual transmission or 12.1 seconds with the MultiMode transmission.

  • 1.4-liter D-4D: 4 cylinders, 8 SOHC valves, intercooler common-rail direct injection, 17.9:1 compression rate, 90 hp at 3,800 rpm, 140 lb-ft at 1,800 - 3,000 rpm. Top speed of 175 km/h and reaches 100 km/h in 12 seconds with the 5 speed manual transmission of in 14.7 seconds with the MultiMode transmission.

  • 2.0-liter D-4D: 4 cylinders, 16 DOHC valves, solenoid common-rail direct injection, 16.8:1 compression rate, 136 hp at 3,600 rpm, 221 lb-ft at 2,000 - 2,800 rpm. Top speed of 200 km/h and reaches 100 km/h in 10.3 seconds with the 6 speed manual gearbox.
