Camry SE - I-4 or V-6?

Does a V-6 in the Camry SE upset its handling?

How sporty a ride would a 4-cylinder give in this car?

Nobody can answer this question but you. Find a dealer with both on the lot and drive both. Tampa is flat and at sea level, so the new 2.5 engine might get you where you want to be. It has a new transmission and about 10 extra horsepower, so it might be better than the last version. The v6 will leave half a tire at each intersection if you let it. It all depends upon your definition of what 'sporty' is.

Well my def. of 'sporty' is it's ability to out run the cop. (hmm.. on the track of course)

Yep, a bit under powered when it come to pick up speed entering highway but it'll get the job done.

This is a stupid thread. Go test drive them both and make up your own mind. Please close this thread moderator.

V6 no matter what, or you will regret, as in my case.
