1st & 2nd Generation (1983–1986 & 1987-1991)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1983-1986 & 1987-1991.
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Let's hope for your sake that all Commonwealth countries got the same models, because my base-model Camry also has the adjustable seat & steering wheel. For the seat, look down to your left (between the seat and the driver's door)--if there are big knobs there, you can adjust. With the steering wheel, look under the column--if there is/are a black toggle or two, you can pull on these to adjust the wheel height.
I hadn't been aware that they ever made a Camry without features like these. In my experience, that makes it a Corolla.

Honda my A$$, you just can't kill a Yota...
I've seen basic fleet models without any adjustment controls for the seat or steering wheel... But you definitely should be able to get what you need at a wrecking yard, the steering column is swappable but it isn't going to be as easy as the seat.

^Like it? Get yours from XSPEED!
uh my car doesn't have those features i'm sure it's a camry it's the base model no badge not even DX
I was just kidding around about the Corolla thing... I am now fairly sure that the US market got a different base model than Canada did. I have yet to see ANY Camry (whatever trim level) without these features.

Yeah, base model Camrys in the US get a non-adjustable steering wheel and a seat with only slide and tilt (but no seat bottom adjustmet). Sucks! At least it still has the little A/C vent under the steering column.

Yea thank goodness for that vent, man that thing makes all the difference in a 100 deg august day
For those of us living in the Arctic (which is what it feels like these days), that lil' vent under the steering column comes in handy when it's absolute zero outside (-273 Celcius or whatever)...
